A thriving secondary school in Salford is seeking a Caretaker to join the premises team from September 2026 on a full-time, long-term basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with caretaking, maintenance, or facilities experience who enjoys practical work and wants to make a real contribution to the smooth running of a busy school.
The Role
Working as part of the premises team, you'll help ensure the school remains safe, secure, and well maintained for pupils, staff, and visitors.
Responsibilities include:
Opening and locking the school site
Carrying out planned maintenance and minor repairs
Completing routine health and safety inspections
Maintaining the school buildings and outdoor areas
Preparing classrooms and halls for school events
Supporting contractors and monitoring site access
Reporting maintenance issues and assisting with site compliance
About the School
The school is well established within the local community and is committed to providing a positive learning environment where students can thrive. Staff are valued for the contribution they make, and the premises team plays an important role in ensuring the school operates efficiently every day.
The Successful Candidate
The ideal candidate will be reliable, organised, and confident working independently while managing a varied workload.
Previous experience as a Caretaker, Site Assistant, Premises Assistant, Facilities Assistant, or Maintenance Operative is desirable. Experience within a school setting would be beneficial but is not essential for candidates with relevant transferable skills.
As part of the school's safer recruitment procedures, references from your current (or most recent) employer and a previous employer will be required before an interview can be arranged.

September 2026 start
Supportive leadership and premises team
Opportunities for ongoing training and development
