Every great school relies on someone who takes pride in keeping the site safe, secure, and ready for each school day.

We're currently working with a welcoming primary school in Brent that is looking to appoint a Caretaker on a full-time, temporary-to-permanent basis.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys practical, hands-on work and wants to become an important part of a friendly school community.

The Role

As Caretaker, you'll be responsible for ensuring the school site is safe, clean, secure, and well maintained for pupils, staff, and visitors.
