Come and join our fabulous team!

A vacancy has arisen for a Caretaker to support the operations of the school site: unlocking buildings, performing Health & Safety statutory test, carrying out proactive and reactive premises improvements, including general repairs/maintenance works, painting and basic plumbing and carpentry. We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working Caretaker who is passionate about providing a safe and well-maintained environment for our pupils and staff.

This is a permanent, all year-round position. Your working pattern will be 6.30am to 10.30am, Monday to Friday.

We have a friendly, family-feel vibe and would strongly encourage you to come and visit to see what a warm and welcoming school we are!

We can offer you:

  • The opportunity to join a supportive and friendly staff team
  • A welcoming and caring ethos
  • A chance to play a significant part in the continuing development of our school
  • Access to a staff well-being package
  • Ongoing training
  • Ongoing support from an experienced Multi-Academy Trust
  • A car park on site
  • A school situated close to a Greggs, chip shop, Pizza and Tesco (not great for a diet!)

For more information, please contact Mrs Dyksman, Office Administrator at ldyksman@newchristchurch.reading.sch.uk or telephone 0118 937 5437.
