Caretaker

Band D
36 Working Hours – All Year Working
Required 02/06/2025

As The Observatory School grows we are adding to a team which has high expectations and sets high standards for both pupils and colleagues. 

Due to the expansion of the school and occupying three separate sites, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and conscientious caretaker who will work alongside the Facilities Team. 

You will take on a key role, maintaining and developing our school site ensuring a welcoming and safe environment for the whole school community. 
You must have excellent organisational skills, be proactive and self-motivated as well as have the ability to work autonomously. 
Previous experience is an advantage however, not essential as training will be provided. 
Expectations are high and challenges you have never faced before will come from all directions but The Observatory School is an extraordinary place of work and the working day is never the same as the last. 
Contracted hours will be 36 per week, Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 5.15pm.

If you feel you would like to embark on the adventure, please take the opportunity to submit an application. Please note, we cannot accept CV’s as an application. All forms provided must be fully completed. 
Closing date for the vacancy is Friday 16th May 2025 at 12.00pm to commence as soon as possible. 

Due to high volumes of applications, the school will be operating a rolling interview process whereby candidates may be invited to interview following receipt of their application should the essential criteria be met. 

Fully completed application forms should be accompanied by a letter of application, no longer than one side of A4 and submitted to recruitment@theobservatoryschool.wirral.sch.uk 
AI is part of emerging technology that is widely being embraced to support new and improved ways of working. Whilst AI has many benefits, we ask that you don’t use AI software to create your application. We’re looking to get to know you, your skills and experience, we’d like to hear this directly from you rather than AI. 
With this in mind, applications generated through AI may be disqualified.

The school is committed to the highest standards of safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of our children and expects the same level of commitment from all staff.
