We are a thriving and successful small Church of England rural school just on the border of Haywards Heath in the Ashdown Forest.

We are looking for a Caretaker to work fifteen hours per week. We can offer flexibility on the hours worked. More hours may be available should the successful applicant wish to take on additional cleaning responsibilities.

You would be responsible for:

• Carrying out weekly health and safety checks full training would be provided.

• Carrying out non-specialist building maintenance work e.g. plumbing carpentry decorating etc. where such work is agreed as being within the reasonable capacity of normal handyperson/DIY Skills with strict adherence to Health and Safety regulations.

• You will need to manage your own workload by prioritising to meet deadlines whilst also ensuring that lower priority jobs are kept up to date.

• You will be able to work in an organised and methodical manner and have previous experience of completing property maintenance tasks.

We are a friendly team of supportive colleagues who all work well together in a close-knit community.
