This post is covered by the Childcare Disqualification Regulations 2018.  

The school will need to ensure that they are not knowingly employing a person who is disqualified under the 2018 Regulations in connection with relevant childcare provision.  Accordingly, the successful candidate will be required to demonstrate to the school, by completing a self-declaration form as part of the pre-employment checks process, that they have not been disqualified under the 2018 Regulations.  

If the preferred candidate is found to be disqualified under the 2018 Regulations, the offer of employment will be subject to the application by the preferred candidate to Ofsted for a waiver and the receipt of a waiver from Ofsted.

About the role

We are successful Primary and Secondary special schools for pupils with learning difficulties including Autism. This is an exciting opportunity to support pupil attendance and to enable more pupils to participate in after school clubs.

We require a Caretaker to join the site manager’s team to work across both schools.  The successful candidate must be flexible and able to demonstrate a variety of building maintenance and cleaning skills and a commitment to providing a high-quality environment for all of our pupils and staff. 

This post will involve driving school vehicles so the ability to drive a 17-seat minibus is an essential requirement, including holding the appropriate category (D1) driving licence. 

We offer a positive working environment, friendly staff teams and amazing pupils.
