Caretaker | Friendly Primary School | Salford

£29k - £33k per annum

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.

Salary & Benefits

  • £29,000–£33,000 per annum (depending on experience)

  • Full-time, long-term opportunity

  • September 2026 start

  • Supportive leadership and premises team

  • Opportunities for ongoing training and development

Apply

The school is interviewing as soon as suitable applications are received , so early applications are encouraged.

If you're looking for your next opportunity in school premises management, we'd love to hear from you. Submit your CV today for immediate consideration.
