Premises Caretaker and Site Agent Skills Audit

Looking to identify the skills and development points of your school’s caretaker, premises manager or site agent? Or perhaps you’re a school site manager or premises officer who wants to explore your role-specific strengths and weaknesses as part of your ongoing development or when looking for a new role. No matter the situation, this handy pack contains exactly what you need to uncover strengths and plan for professional development & growth.

Included is an 18-page template covering the different areas of skills that a school premises caretaker may need. These are split into handy sections, such as self-management and personal skills, health and safety, site security, and cleaning and maintenance, so they can be used flexibly. Also included is a daily, weekly, termly and yearly skills list which can be used to reflect on the site agent or caretakers effectiveness and points for improvement for each task.

Questions in the skills audit include:

• What strategies do I utilise to streamline communication processes regarding the work I undertake, ensuring information is shared efficiently and accurately to all stakeholders?
• What measures do I take to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations during cleaning and maintenance activities and how do I communicate these protocols to others?
• What steps do I take to stay vigilant and collaborate with other staff members in maintaining security measures, particularly in terms of reporting any suspicious activities promptly?
• In what capacity do I play an active role in critical incident planning and management, ensuring preparedness and resilience in the face of unforeseen challenges?
