What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Practical experience carrying out handyperson/DIY building maintenance tasks and keeping organized work records.

• Knowledge: Sound understanding of Health & Safety regulations (including COSHH and risk assessments) in a school setting.

• Skills: Ability to prioritise your workload, act on your own initiative during unexpected situations, and supervise a cleaning team effectively.

• Communication & Values: Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to equal opportunities and safeguarding
