About the Role

Make a real difference every single day

Are you practical, proactive and passionate about creating safe, welcoming spaces for young people to thrive? Longdon Park School is looking for a hands‑on Caretaker to join our fantastic team and help us keep our school running smoothly, safely and to the highest standard.

This is more than a maintenance role — it’s a chance to be part of a community that supports pupils with a range of needs, including Autism. Your work will directly impact their daily experience, helping to create the calm, consistent environment they rely on.

What you will be doing

As our Caretaker, you’ll take pride in keeping our school in excellent condition. Your day could include:

  • Carrying out general repairs, maintenance and DIY tasks
  • Conducting safety checks and completing risk assessments
  • Managing site security, including opening and locking the school
  • Ensuring classrooms, equipment and shared spaces are ready for learning
  • Supporting school improvement projects and development work
  • Being a reassuring, reliable presence for pupils and staff

Every day brings something different — but everything you do helps our pupils feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

What you’ll bring

You’ll be someone who is:

  • Experience/ skilled in maintenance, DIY or site management
  • Organised, efficient and able to work at pace
  • Safety‑conscious with good attention to detail
  • Practical, reliable and happy to get stuck in
  • Motivated by making a positive difference
  • Driving licence required

Experience in a school or SEN environment is desirable, but not essential — the right attitude, work ethic and commitment to quality matter most.
