Permanent Caretaker

12 hours per week/52 weeks per year 

Start Date: ASAP (once all relevant check are have been completed)

The Governing Body of Rhos Primary School wish to appoint a caretaker to become part of a hard-working team of staff who are committed to the school, the families and its’ community. The person appointed will need to be dedicated to fulfilling the role purposefully with the needs of the children at the forefront and become passionate about the vision that staff and governors have for the school. The job entails opening and closing the school, health and safety matters and tasks specified in the job description. The post requires the individual to use their initiative, have practical skills to carry out maintenance tasks, have pride in their work, liaise with management staff to ensure works are carried out for the smooth running of the school, and work flexibly with the needs of the children in and outside of school hours. The hours are flexible but you will need to open and close the school. You will be a key holder, so may be expected to work out of hours as needed.

To ensure the safety and protection of our children, the recruitment process for this post will be underpinned by rigorous safer recruitment assessment to ensure that our children and young people are protected. Neath Port Talbot Council is totally committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our schools are equally committed to ensuring the safety and protection of all children and young people and will take action to safeguard their wellbeing.

The governors and Headteacher will welcome any queries or discussion regarding this post. Please contact Claire Jones at the school if you require an informal discussion. 

Applications may be submitted in Welsh and will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
