Supply Caretaker in Bury, Greater Manchester

Location: Bury, Greater Manchester
Pay: £100-£140 per day, depending on experience
Start Date: ASAP
Agency: Tradewind Recruitment

Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking an experienced and reliable Supply School Caretaker to support a number of secondary schools across Bury.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced school caretaker who is looking for flexible, ad-hoc work, providing essential site support whenever a member of the school's permanent premises team is absent, for example, due to sickness or annual leave.

Working on a supply basis, you will be called upon when additional site cover is required, helping to ensure that the school premises remain safe, secure, clean and fully operational throughout the school day.

Please note: Previous experience working as a caretaker within a school or educational setting is essential. We will only consider applicants who have direct school or education-sector caretaking experience. General maintenance or facilities experience outside of an educational environment will not be sufficient for this position.

Depending on the school's requirements, your duties will include:

• Opening and closing school buildings, ensuring the site is secure.

• Carrying out general maintenance, minor repairs and basic DIY tasks.

• Completing routine health and safety checks around the school premises.

• Identifying and reporting maintenance issues, hazards or potential risks.

• Maintaining the cleanliness, tidiness and general presentation of the school site.

• Monitoring access to the premises and supporting site security.

• Assisting with room setups, furniture moves and general site requirements.

• Responding promptly to any urgent site issues.

• Supporting the wider premises team to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the school.

To be considered, you must:

• Have previous, demonstrable experience working as a caretaker within a school or educational setting.

• Understand the day-to-day responsibilities involved in maintaining a school site.

• Be confident carrying out general maintenance, repairs and site security duties.

• Be reliable, punctual and flexible, with the ability to respond to short-notice supply requirements.

• Have a proactive approach and be comfortable working independently.

• Understand the importance of safeguarding and maintaining a safe environment for pupils and staff.

• Competitive daily pay of £100-£140, depending on previous experience.

• Immediate start available.

• Flexible, ad-hoc supply assignments across secondary schools in Bury.

• Opportunities to support different school sites and premises teams.

• Support from the dedicated education recruitment team at Tradewind Recruitment.

If you are an experienced school caretaker looking for flexible supply work and are available to provide cover at short notice, we would love to hear from you.
