A varied temporary caretaking opportunity is available for someone with a practical, can-do approach.
A network of primary schools across Chippenham and Tetbury is seeking a Temporary Caretaker/Site Technician to provide cover until December 2026.
Rather than being based at one school, you'll work across several local primary sites, supporting with general maintenance, security and day-to-day caretaking duties. It's an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, is confident working independently and likes solving practical problems.
The position is being offered on a full-time basis, with approximately 30–35 hours per week, and a van and tools will be provided for travel between sites.
What You'll Be Doing
Your day-to-day work will vary depending on the needs of each school and may include:
-
General caretaking and site maintenance
-
Minor repairs and practical DIY
-
Basic decorating and upkeep
-
Opening, securing and checking school buildings
-
Supporting health and safety checks
-
Maintaining outdoor areas and grounds
-
Responding to unexpected maintenance requirements
-
Moving between schools to provide additional site support
Who This Would Suit
This role would suit someone with previous experience in caretaking, maintenance, facilities or a similar practical environment.
School experience isn't essential. What's important is that you're reliable, hands-on, able to work without constant supervision and comfortable travelling between different sites.
