Denby CE First School is part of the Green Hills First Federation with Farnley Tyas and Thurstonland First Schools.

The Governors of the Federation are looking to appoint a reliable, proactive and practical Caretaker/ Cleaner to help maintain a safe, secure, clean and well‑managed environment at Denby CE First School. Working closely with staff members, you will be responsible for opening and locking the site, daily cleaning, minor repairs and maintenance, carrying out health and safety and compliance checks, and keeping accurate records to ensure the school buildings and grounds operate efficiently for pupils, staff and visitors.

The role requires minor DIY skills, an understanding of health and safety and COSHH, the ability to work independently and prioritise tasks, and a flexible, positive approach. Previous caretaking or premises experience is not necessarily essential, and training will be provided.

• Have some practical experience that will enable you to fix and mend as required
• Be able to carry out a range of physical tasks that will include lifting and carrying and working at heights, etc.
• Be enthusiastic and helpful towards staff and children
• Be open to training that will enable you to fulfil the role which may require additional hours to be worked
• Understand H.A.S.A.W and C.O.S.H.H (training can be provided)

The opportunity to work with a passionate and dedicated team of staff with excellent opportunities for personal development. This is also a unique experience to work as part of a forward thinking and developing Federation.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process. Full training and support, including safeguarding, will be given to the successful candidate.

Visits to the school are very welcome. Please contact the school directly on to make an appointment. Application forms should be returned by e‑mail to Katie Howbridge on or by post to Katie Howbridge, Denby CE First School, Goose Green, Upper Denby, Huddersfield, HD8 8UN
