Looking for a hands-on facilities role with a true community purpose?
We are seeking a reliable and practical School Caretaker / Site Supervisor to manage our Alternative Provision campuses across Burnley and Barnoldswick. We provide a small, nurturing environment for secondary pupils outside of mainstream education.

H&S Compliance: Conduct and log critical statutory safety checks (fire alarms, emergency lighting, legionella).
Cleaning & Grounds: Support site hygiene with routine cleaning and manage grounds upkeep (litter picking, winter gritting).
Contractors & Operations: Supervise visiting contractors and assist with classroom setups or school events.
What We Are Looking For
Practical Skills: Solid experience in basic repairs, building maintenance, or a hands-on trade.
Calm Demeanor: Level-headed, organized, and composed in challenging situations.
Active Mindset: Comfortable with a physical workload transitioning between indoor and outdoor tasks.
Driving Licence: Full UK licence and access to a vehicle (with business insurance) to support local campuses as needed.
Safeguarding & Culture
"It could happen here." We maintain a highly vigilant, open culture to protect our vulnerable pupils and operate a strict safe touch, no restraint policy.
An Enhanced DBS check, two professional references, and a safer recruitment process are mandatory. Full induction training and ongoing safeguarding CPD are provided.
