carry out repairs while leading and coordinating the grounds and maintenance team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Carry out carpentry, painting, drilling, secure wall mounting, furniture repairs and general handyman work.

• Inspect classrooms, bathrooms, playgrounds, buildings and outdoor spaces daily; identify issues before they

escalate.

• Oversee gardening, grass watering, pruning, irrigation and grounds presentation.

• Supervise all grounds and maintenance staff, assign tasks and maintain daily, weekly and monthly work

schedules.

• Maintain a repairs register, preventative maintenance calendar and completion reports.

• Control tools, equipment and consumables through issue-and-return logs, secure storage and regular

stocktakes.

• Monitor materials, minimise wastage and request approved purchases when needed.

• Follow school safeguarding and health-and-safety requirements; refer specialist work to qualified

contractors.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven hands-on experience in general maintenance, carpentry, painting and secure mounting/installation.

• Experience supervising a small maintenance or grounds team.

• Strong initiative, practical problem-solving and attention to detail.

• Ability to keep accurate schedules, maintenance records and inventory logs.

• Reliable, physically capable and comfortable working in a school environment.

• Relevant trade qualification, landscaping experience and a driver’s licence are advantageous.

To apply: Submit a CV outlining practical experience and contactable references to careers@learningladderzm.com.

maintenance tasks alongside the team.
