Are you someone who takes pride in creating a clean, welcoming environment and enjoys working as part of a close-knit, supportive team?  If so, we are currently seeking a dedicated Housekeeper to join our friendly and hardworking team.

As a Housekeeper, you’ll play a vital role in the daily life of our school.  You’ll be responsible for helping to create a safe, welcoming, and hygienic environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.  From preparing sparkling classrooms for the following morning to keeping our communal spaces and boarding areas fresh and inviting, your attention to detail will help set the tone for the day ahead.  You will also be involved in laundry duties, ensuring pupils’ uniforms, boarding clothes, and school linens are clean, pressed, and ready for daily use.

Your work supports not only the health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff, but also the sense of pride we all share in our beautiful school.  It may be behind the scenes, but the impact of what you do will be seen and felt everywhere.  Every day, you’ll be helping to create a place where people feel valued, cared for, and at home.

Whether you’ve worked in housekeeping before or simply take pride in keeping spaces clean, organised, and welcoming, this could be the perfect role for you.  If you’re someone who enjoys working with care and purpose, has a good eye for detail, and takes satisfaction in helping others through behind-the-scenes work, including maintaining high standards in laundry – we’d love to hear from you.
