About the Role
We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Site Caretaker to join our Swansea region, supporting Dan Y Coed School & Home and Ty Trafle School. This is a newly created role as part of our Estates & Maintenance restructure, designed to strengthen local maintenance support and ensure our sites remain safe, compliant, and welcoming environments for the children, young people, and staff who rely on them.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys variety, and wants to make a meaningful impact in specialist education and care settings.
What You’ll Be Doing
As our Site Caretaker, you will be the on‑site go‑to person for all day‑to‑day maintenance and estate presentation needs. Your responsibilities will include:
* Carrying out day‑to‑day maintenance, minor repairs, and decoration tasks
* Completing routine statutory checks and supporting site compliance
* Maintaining grounds and external areas to a high standard
* Coordinating and overseeing contractors on site
* Supporting site managers with health & safety requirements
* Responding quickly to reactive maintenance issues to improve first‑time fix rates
* Helping ensure our schools and homes remain safe, compliant, and well‑maintained
This role is essential in reducing reliance on mobile maintenance teams, improving response times, and supporting the wider strategy to create efficient, geographically aligned maintenance hubs.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Practical, hands‑on, and confident in general maintenance tasks
* Organised, reliable, and able to work independently
* Safety‑conscious with a strong eye for detail
* Comfortable working in busy, specialist education and care environments
* A good communicator who can work well with staff, contractors, and managers
Experience in a similar caretaker, maintenance, or facilities role is desirable, but we welcome applications from anyone with the right skills and attitude.
Why Join Us?
* A stable, permanent role with a competitive salary
* The chance to make a real difference in specialist school and home environments
* A supportive team and a clear regional maintenance structure
* Opportunities to contribute to an improved, more efficient estates service
