Overview
Shilbottle Primary School is at an exciting stage in its journey, with new leadership in place and a real opportunity to make a difference to the life of our school.

* Supporting with minor repairs and day-to-day site jobs
* Locking up and securing the school at the end of the day

* One person working full-time across the day
* Two people sharing the role (e.g. mornings/afternoons)
* Term time only or all year round contracts
Person specification
We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, can use their initiative, and is approachable and reliable. Previous experience in a similar role would be an advantage but is not essential.
