Are you an experienced, proactive Caretaker who enjoys running a busy school site? A thriving primary school in Croydon is recruiting a dedicated Caretaker to join the site team from January 2026.

This Croydon Caretaker role is hands-on and varied: you will manage daily opening and closing, carry out essential repairs, coordinate contractors, maintain plant and heating systems and ensure the site is safe for pupils and staff. Induction and a thorough handover will be provided prior to January 2026, and the Caretaker will be in post from January 2026, with full support during the spring term.

Role responsibilities

  • Open and secure premises daily, perform routine safety inspections and maintain logbooks.

  • Carry out general maintenance tasks (basic plumbing, joinery, decorating) and flag major issues for specialist attention.

  • Maintain external areas, clear litter/debris and ensure safe walkways across the Croydon grounds.

  • Coordinate contractors, manage site supplies and run COSHH/health & safety checks.

  • Support school events and lettings by preparing rooms and facilities when required.

Person specification

  • Previous experience in caretaking, premises or facilities roles with practical maintenance skills.

  • Awareness of health & safety legislation, ability to manage contractors and keep accurate records.

  • Self-motivated, organised and able to work independently across the Croydon site.

  • Able to commence January 2026 and to attend induction and handover sessions before January 2026.

To be considered for this teaching position, please forward a CV as soon as possible.
