Our school is very highly regarded, heavily oversubscribed and enjoys consistently outstanding examination results. Finchley Catholic is a very rewarding place to work with a supportive collegiate atmosphere. The school site is complex with a variety of buildings ranging from the late 1800s to 2014. We also have playing fields at a separate location nearby. There are ambitious plans to develop the site as well as an intensive programme of works planned on existing buildings. We are looking to appoint a caretaker who can support our school site team with a new stage in its development as we head towards our centenary.

·         Experience in  maintaining the up keep of buildings and the site with a good knowledge of services and compliance

·         Strong IT skills to manage records and systems online

·         The ability to undertake small scale repairs and maintenance

·         Good verbal and written communication skills

·         A ‘can-do’ approach to running day to day operations with the flexibility to adapt at short notice

·         Confidence with dealing with third party contractors

We can offer you:

·         An outstanding opportunity to play a pivotal role in supporting and developing the school premises

·         A friendly, vibrant and caring school where staff are really valued

·         A varied role with scope to make a difference

·         A strong commitment to training and a staff wellbeing

·         A well being day off after 1 year’s service
