The ethos of the school is child centred with a mission to develop the potential and innate talents of all children. All staff must be committed to this ethos. Support staff play a vital role by providing a physical environment that is warm, safe and clean and is conducive to learning and creative expression. This in turn provides a nurturing learning environment for our students.
The school is committed to excellence in all activities and the role of School Caretaker is hugely important in ensuring that all school facilities, equipment, buildings and grounds are maintained to a very high standard. In addition, the School Caretaker will ensure that the school is constantly aiming to be efficient and strives to meet ‘best in class’ energy conservation and environmental standards as determined by the Department of Education.

The successful candidate will hold a certificate in successful completion of manual handling training.
