My client is a school in Farnbrough, looking for an experienced School Caretaker - Site Operative for Care Taking, Maintenance and Estates Management. (Responsible for Aldershot Campus)

Use Your Practical Skills and Initiative to Keep Our Pupils Safe, Supported, and Thriving

The School is a successful and growing special school for pupils aged 2-19 with complex learning needs. We are seeking flexible, hands-on and proactive Site Operatives to help us maintain safe, high-quality learning environments across our expanding multi-site provision.

Whether you're looking for full-time, part-time or more flexible hours across days, evenings or weekends, we're open to working with the right candidates - especially those with relevant trade experience and a strong sense of personal responsibility.

Your Role Will Include:

* Providing day-to-day site maintenance, caretaking and repair services to ensure a safe, clean, and functional environment.

* Carrying out repairs and minor improvements using practical or trade skills such as carpentry, plumbing, decorating or electrical maintenance.

* Taking the initiative to identify and act on maintenance needs before they become problems - whether it's a loose hinge, a leaking pipe, or a potential hazard.

* Using your trade experience (e.g. carpentry, plumbing, electrical, decorating) to carry out in-house improvements and repairs.

* Supporting the setup of learning spaces, movement of furniture and equipment, and preparation for events or lettings.

* Completing statutory and mandatory duties including fire alarm testing, water temperature logs, building compliance checks and secure locking procedures.

* Working across school sites and responding flexibly to a varied and evolving workload.

* Being a visible, proactive presence who contributes to the smooth daily running of the school and the safety of pupils and staff.

We're Looking For Someone Who:

* Has strong practical and trade-based skills, ideally with professional qualifications or demonstrable experience (Grade D applicable for trades) or the willingness to train to gain practical skills.

* Shows initiative, attention to detail, and pride in delivering quality work.

* Is solution focused - actively looks for ways to improve, prevent problems, and keep things running efficiently.

* Understands the importance of site compliance, health & safety, and safeguarding.

* Works well independently but values being part of a supportive team.

* Can travel between our local school sites as needed.

* Wants to contribute meaningfully to a setting that supports vulnerable children and young people.
