Wheatley Park is at an exciting stage in its development. We have made strides, enjoyed recent successes and we are ambitious to build on them. We are a busy, friendly and supportive community.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and hardworking caretaker to work as part of our Site Team. We are looking for a colleague who has good people skills and is committed to team working in order to achieve the best level of support for the staff and students in the school community. Our site team is proactive, and trained to do a wide variety of maintenance support within the school, as well as decoration and repair projects during the holidays. It is important that there is a willingness to participate fully in all aspects of the role, as well as participate in health and safety training and testing.
We will offer you the chance to be part of a strong and developing school community working in a supporting environment. We are renowned for placing a high value on staff wellbeing and professional development at all levels.
Situated just east of Oxford in a unique parkland site, Wheatley Park School is a flourishing 11- 18 academy with a vibrant comprehensive intake.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.
