Role: School Caretaker / Site Assistant

Location: Near Burnt Oak Station (Northern Line)

Contract: Full-Time, Long-term to Permanent

Hours: Split Shifts or Straight Lates (Flexible options available)

Salary: £14.00 – £17.00 per hour (Experience dependent)

Are you a proactive "handyperson" with experience in building maintenance or school site operations? We are seeking a reliable and hardworking Caretaker to join a friendly primary school just a short walk from Burnt Oak Station.

This role is available for an immediate start and is perfect for someone who takes pride in maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for students and staff.

  • Porterage: Assisting with deliveries, moving furniture for assemblies, and ensuring the grounds are free of litter.

The Candidate

  • Experience: Previous experience in a school setting is highly desirable, but we also welcome applications from those with a background in facilities management or the trades.

  • Technical Skill: A good understanding of heating systems and general DIY is essential.

  • Reliability: You must be dependable, as the school relies on you to ensure the site is open and safe every morning.

  • DBS: Must hold a current Enhanced DBS (or be willing to process a new one immediately).

Why This School?

  • Excellent Location: Just minutes from Burnt Oak Station, making it easily accessible from across North London and Hertfordshire.

  • Immediate Income: Start working and earning as soon as this week.

  • Path to Permanency: The school is looking for a long-term fit, with a permanent contract on the table for the successful candidate.

  • Supportive Leadership: Work directly with a School Business Manager who values and supports the premises team.
