School Caretaker

Meadow Bridge School is a independent special school for pupils aged 6 – 19, situated in the beautiful town of Cricklade, Wiltshire. We adopt a creative, individualised approach for students who have barriers to learning associated with social, emotional, mental health and ASC needs. Our curriculum approach, Enterprise Learning, allows our students to rebuild confidence in their abilities, feel safe and supported, and gain skills and knowledge that will allow them to thrive in the modern world.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, conscientious and self-motivated caretaker who would like to provide a key role in maintaining our school site.

Duties will include:

• Maintenance of property and grounds to a high standard
• Monitor site stock and order supplies
• Carry out DIY above and beyond the scope of a competent DIY person, completing more specialist work as required.
• Carry out and record statutory checks and help maintain Health and Safety records

This is a part time, 52 week post for 24 hours per week, 3 days a week. Hours will fall between 7.30am-5pm, but can be discussed and agreed with the Site Lead, based on the needs of the school.

Being part of a school community that supports and develops aspirations for our students is very important to us, so applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are aligned with our values. They must be flexible, honest and enjoy working within a busy and demanding environment.
