The London Oratory School invites you to apply for the full time, permanent post in our site team of Schoolkeeper. The position is currently vacant and we are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible or latest September 2026. Trad, but quirky, The London Oratory is amongst the city’s most prestigious Catholic schools. We educate boys from 7 to 18, with girls in the Sixth form, in a broad, liberal arts curriculum – but that’s not all, so do please visit our website for a fuller flavour.
Our invitation
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed person to join the Schoolkeeper site team and assist with all premises matters. The role would suit someone with a can‑do attitude who is not afraid to get stuck in and become part of a busy school community. The Estate Department’s responsibilities include building and ground maintenance, safety and security, lettings and weekend openings. The department ensures that all duties are undertaken safely and provides a friendly and effective service. The ideal candidates would hold a valid full driving licence. A uniform is provided and overtime working in recognition of working at different times of the day to keep the school and our events running.
Our School
In addition to first class facilities which all staff are encouraged to use (including free lunch, Friday cake, on-site parking, and a state of the art gym and swimming pool). In addition, here are five reasons as to why you should consider working with us:
- Our vision: A compelling vision of what a distinctively Catholic education should look like, open to the world and fitting pupils to move through it with panache and confidence;
- Our pupils: Well‑disciplined, switched on, cosmopolitan - and quirky - supported in their growth by skilled staff and a tightly structured pastoral system;
- Our staff: An intellectually lively and collegial Common Room culture, that supports you in your growth as a subject and pedagogical expert;
- Our priority: A highly supportive and collegial atmosphere at all levels that values and recognises the great work that teachers do, and the challenges and sacrifices they make to do it. In addition to daily freshly brewed coffee, we also offer full access to staff medical and counselling services, should these be required;
- Your future: An innovative staff development programme that looks to support you in growing in your vocation, in a school that is keen to think through the implications of cutting edge pedagogical research and development, within a rich philosophical and spiritual heritage.
The School enjoys a highly competitive salary scale to recognise and reward the very committed body of staff that make up its Common Room.

Applications will be considered as they are submitted, and the School reserves the right to interview suitable applicants before the deadline. We consider application forms a legal document, and so information submitted should be truthful and accurate.
