You will also maintain the exterior by cleaning paintwork, windows, and outdoor areas, as well as clearing pathways, playgrounds, and gardens of litter and debris.

Additionally, you will participate in relevant training, such as Fire Marshall, COSHH, and working at heights, to ensure safe practices are followed.
As a keyholder, you will need to respond to out-of-hours emergency call-outs when required. This role requires someone proactive and dependable, with good practical skills for repairs and maintenance, and flexibility to adapt to the needs of the school.
