We are looking for someone who can identify and address daily maintenance issues, as well as having a vision for the long-term improvement of the school and its grounds. We need someone who sets high standards and works to maintain them at all times. The successful candidate will need to use their initiative to tackle issues as they arise and to work affectively with staff, contractors and suppliers and demonstrate effective communication skills. The role will involve cleaning duties as well as daily checks to ensure the school is secure, clean and everything is in place ready for the start of the day.

An ability to use a computer will be necessary as all our Health and Safety documents are stored in an online management system.
This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of our successful and forward-thinking primary school. Wheelock is part of the Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust (MAT) and the Trust offers outstanding opportunities for peer learning and development.
