We offer flexible hours, with a preferred start time from 6:30 am to 7:30 am for opening duties. Additional hours can be scheduled to run concurrently or at any point during the school day. Due to the nature of the role, annual leave must be taken out of term time however, due to this post being full year, there is more opportunity for flexibility with the hours during the school holidays and this can be discussed at interview.
If you are passionate about maintaining beautiful school grounds, we would love to hear from you.
