School Caretaker & Lettings Supervisor - Blackpool

Location: Blackpool (Large Secondary Academy)

Are you a proactive Maintenance or Facilities professional looking for a premium-rate late shift? Tradewind Recruitment is looking for a Site Caretaker & Lettings Supervisor to manage the facilities and community evening programs at a leading Blackpool Academy.

The Role: A Unique Hybrid

Unlike a standard caretaking role, this position offers a mix of Facilities Management and Community Interaction. You will be the "face of the school" during the afternoon and evening, ensuring the site remains safe, secure, and welcoming for both students and external hirers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lettings Management: Act as the primary point of contact for community groups; managing access and hall bookings.

  • Site Security: Lead the transition from the school day to evening use, completing a full, secure lock-up by 21:00.

  • Event Setup: Prepare the school hall, seating, and equipment for various evening events and community functions.

  • Maintenance & H&S: Perform reactive repairs and ensure all evening compliance checks meet safety protocols.

  • Team Coordination: Working alongside evening cleaning staff to ensure the school is "morning ready."

What You Need to Succeed

  • Experience: A background in Caretaking, Site Supervision, Facilities, or a skilled trade.

  • Communication: A professional, friendly manner to represent the school to the public and external hirers.

  • Dependability: The ability to work independently and take full responsibility for the evening site closure.

  • Practicality: A "can-do" approach to minor repairs and a solid understanding of Health & Safety.

Why Choose Tradewind?

  • Top 100 Employer: Proudly a Sunday Times Top 100 employer for 4 years running.

  • Professional Growth: Free access to over 2,500 CPD courses via the National College.

  • AWR Protected: We ensure you are paid to scale from your very first day.

Immediate Start Required

  • Handover Day: Friday 27th March 2026

  • Official Start: Monday 30th March 2026
