School Caretaker – Flexible Opportunities | PK Education

PK Education is currently seeking reliable and proactive Caretakers to work within school environments. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are practical, adaptable, and take pride in maintaining safe and well-functioning facilities.

About the Role:
As a Caretaker, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the school site, ensuring it is safe, secure, and well-maintained for students and staff. No formal qualifications or direct experience are essential—however, being “handy” and confident with basic repairs is crucial.

Key Responsibilities:

Carrying out general maintenance and minor repairs (basic plumbing, carpentry, painting, etc.)
Opening and closing the school site, managing keys and alarm systems
Monitoring site safety, including fire safety and hazard prevention
Coordinating with contractors for larger repairs when required
Managing cleaning schedules, deliveries, and general site upkeep
Responding to maintenance issues quickly and effectively
What We’re Looking For:

Practical skills and a “hands-on” approach (DIY, home improvement, or similar experience)
Strong problem-solving ability and initiative
Reliability and trustworthiness, especially with site security responsibilities
Good understanding of health & safety and risk awareness
Ability to prioritise tasks and manage a varied workload
Strong communication skills when interacting with staff, students, and contractors
Good attention to detail to spot and prevent issues early
Physical fitness and stamina for a demanding, active role
Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced environment
Basic IT awareness (desirable for modern school systems)
Pay Rates:

Umbrella: £16.80 – £17.00 per hour
PAYE: £12.30 – £13.50 per hour
If you are dependable, resourceful, and enjoy a varied, hands-on role, PK Education would love to hear from you.
