We are a cheerful, thriving Federation across two infant schools in Totton. We are full of hard working staff and children, supported successfully by a skilled Governing Body and an increasingly engaging parent community.
As a Federation, we share expertise and enthusiasm across both schools, making a big difference to the lives and futures of the children we teach. We are looking for a committed and passionate caretaker who will share our aspirational and optimistic outlook.
The Federation operates under the leadership of one Executive Head teacher and a single Governing Body. The staff and stakeholders work together within a supportive team ethos and we are all committed to our inclusive ethos and on-going improvement.
Your contract would be to the Federation and you would therefore benefit from the professional opportunities across both schools. Training from Hampshire Caretaking Services will be provided.
The Federation of Hazel Wood Infant School and Lydlynch Infant School and Hampshire County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service Check in line with the Government safer recruitment guidelines.
The school values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sectors of the community.
