We are looking to recruit a dedicated member of staff to join our Facilities Team. The successful candidate should be able to work on their own initiative as well as being part of a team. Previous school caretaking and/or grounds keeping would be desirable with DIY skills essential. This role is based at St Wilfrid’s Catholic School but will also involve working across different school sites.
The post-holder will be required to work Monday to Friday, 37 hours per week with shifts between 07:00-18:00hrs with flexibility to work later hours if required. Holiday entitlement is 25 days per year plus bank holidays.

This is a school that wants to be the very best it can be. Do you want to be part of that? You do not need to be a Catholic to work here, indeed many of our staff are not, but a willingness to embrace the ethos of the school is expected.
The strength of community at St Wilfrid’s is a strong one based upon mutual respect. The staff work incredibly hard and are prepared to go the extra mile for the students in their charge. Our students are amazing and they contribute enormously to making the school such a welcoming and productive place. Our most recent Catholic School Inspection Report (October 2024) and our Ofsted Report (March 2023) certainly reinforce this aspect of school life. All potential applicants are invited and encouraged to arrange a visit – we firmly believe you won’t be disappointed!

Candidates may be invited for interview upon receipt of their application – please do not wait for the closing date. If you would like to be considered for the permanent position as well, please indicate in your supporting statement.
