Main Responsibility
Applications are invited for the full-time position of Caretaker for Woburn Sands Town Council. This is a job share position which together with our current Caretakers will give seven day per week cover.
The successful applicant will provide efficient and effective caretaking provision to the Town Council including ensuring that the security and general appearance of the buildings and surrounding areas are maintained, and overseeing the cleaning of halls, and tending to the gardens around the Summerlin Centre and Sport’s Hall. The applicant should have good practical skills and be able to make minor repairs, if and when necessary, and be prepared to do spot cleaning if needed.
The buildings owned or managed, and maintained by the Town Council include: the Summerlin Centre, the Institute (Library), the Sport’s Hall, Memorial Hall, including the Town Council offices, and the Old Fire Station. The public open spaces owned or managed by the Town Council include Memorial Green, Mowbray Green, the Recreation Ground, the three car parks and Edgewick Farm.
This position is to cover five weekdays, Monday to Friday, daytime only. Other staff are on duty weekday evenings and at weekends, but occasionally it may be necessary to cover sick or holiday leave.
The hours for this position are flexible but you will be required to make a daily check on the halls and be on call. For this reason, the successful applicant will need to either reside within Woburn Sands, or be local enough to make return journeys. The applicant will need use of a vehicle.
This job has a physical element, for example lifting, carrying and setting up furniture and equipment and carrying out basic gardening tasks; applicants will need to have a reasonable standard of physical fitness to enable them to carry out the duties needed.
