Somerdale Educate Together Primary Academy is a new school which opened in September 2017, on the new Somerdale estate in Keynsham. We currently have seven classes from pre-school to year 5 and will extend to year 6 in September 2022.

Would you like the opportunity to help us to ensure that our school provides a safe and welcoming environment for our children, staff and visitors? Are you a hard-working individual? Do you take pride in your work?

We are looking for a practical and well-motivated person for the post of caretaker to join our happy and committed team of staff. We especially want someone who will really care about our school, helping to make it look its best and enjoy being part of a staff team who encourage the children to respect and be proud of their school environment.

Our ethos at Somerdale Educate Together is:

• Equality based: children of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds being equally respected

• Co-educational and committed to encouraging all children to explore their full range of abilities and opportunities

• Child-centred: all children have a voice and staff make decisions that are right for our children

• Democratic whereby all children, staff and parents are involved in some decisions that we make
