School Cleaner

Wyke Regis Infant School and Nursery & Wyke Regis C of E Junior School

School Cleaner

We are seeking to appoint, as soon as possible, casual school cleaners to assist our current teams of staff responsible for the cleaning of the school premises at both Federation sites. These posts will be to cover any sickness absence and so will be on an as and when basis.

The successful candidates will assist in undertaking general cleaning duties providing a clean, hygienic and safe environment for learning and other school activities. The cleaning team hours of work at the Infant School are 3.15 pm to 6.30 pm, and for the Junior School 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday. There is also a requirement to work in the school holiday periods, which may also need casual cover.

The post is for an immediate start, so any suitable applicants will be interviewed as and when they apply, rather than on a specific date.

Please note Dorset Council does not accept CVs in place of an application form as the same range of information is required from all candidates. Applications may be submitted by completing the online application.

Wyke Regis Federation values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sectors of the community.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people; this is a commitment which we expect all staff and volunteers to share. The successful candidate will be required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with the Governments safer recruitment guidelines.

This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (2013 and 2020)) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ’s guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications and related exceptions and further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.

Keeping Children Safe in Education

The school will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. All aspects of social media and internet searches will be conducted. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not on the appointment panel will conduct the searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
