Looking for a varied, hands-on role where you can make a real difference every day?

Durham Cathedral Schools Foundation is seeking a reliable, practical and proactive Resident Caretaker & Maintenance Operative to join our Estates Team.

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining high standards and wants to become an integral part of a thriving independent school community.

The role includes:

General building maintenance and DIY repairs.
Basic plumbing and mechanical maintenance.

Supporting the security of the School, including evening locking-up and providing an out-of-hours presence on site.
