Experienced in maintenance, caretaking or facilities?

* School caretaking
* Facilities management
* Property maintenance
* Housing maintenance
* Construction
* Security
* Estates
* Handyperson roles
* Building services
Previous school experience is desirable, but it is not essential if you have strong transferable experience.
