We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to undertake caretaking duties across the School to work Monday to Friday with occasional weekend and sickness/absence cover.

- All roles are subject to nationally agreed terms and conditions of service.
- Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) with employer contributions of 23.4% for support staff.
- 23 days holiday rising up to 26 days after five years’ service; plus an extra 4 days’ leave (known as extra statutory and concessionary)
