Job Description
We are seeking to appoint a Caretaker to join our highly effective and dedicated site team.
Previous experience is NOT essential, but you will need general maintenance skills and be keen to learn new skills with a professional and positive attitude.
As a Caretaker at South Hampstead, you will play a key role in creating a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained environment for pupils and colleagues.
Working closely with the Premises Manager, you’ll take pride in keeping the site running smoothly, responding to maintenance requests, resolving issues efficiently, and coordinating with external contractors when needed.
A willingness to be a first aider is desirable but not essential and training will be provided if required.
If you are looking for a hands-on and rewarding role where no two days are the same and want to be part of a cohesive and well organised team, we would be delighted to hear from you.
