The Role:

Join our supportive team as a Caretaker/Facilities Assistant and play an essential role in the everyday running of our service.

What we’re looking for:

Health & safety expertise: Strong understanding of Health and Safety regulations and compliance.
Practical maintenance experience: Proven ability in routine maintenance, repairs, and grounds upkeep.
Site and contractor management: Experience overseeing site operations and working effectively with external contractors.
Commitment to high standards: A genuine passion for helping others, delivering excellent care, and communicating clearly and respectfully with children.
Empathy, patience, and respect: Ability to understand individual needs, build trust through compassion, and remain calm and dignified in challenging situations.
Self‑motivated and adaptable: Resilient, able to work with minimal supervision, and confident adapting positively to changing demands.
