Behind every successful school is a team of dedicated support staff working hard to keep everything running smoothly—and school caretakers are at the heart of that effort. At Uniform Education, we proudly supply experienced and reliable caretakers to schools across London and the Home Counties.

Who Are We? Uniform Education is a leading education recruitment agency based in London. We work in partnership with primary schools, secondary schools, academies, and special schools, as well as local councils and education trusts. Our mission is to provide schools with dependable staff they can trust—especially when it comes to roles that keep the school safe, clean, and operational.

Why Caretakers Matter Caretakers are vital to the day-to-day function of a school. From unlocking buildings each morning and ensuring health and safety standards are met, to carrying out repairs, maintaining facilities, and supporting events or after-school activities, caretakers play a key role in creating a secure and welcoming environment for students and staff alike.

What We Offer Uniform Education works closely with schools to provide caretakers on a short-term, long-term, and permanent basis. Whether it’s early morning cover, split shifts, or full-day site management, we understand the unique needs of each school and aim to match them with caretakers who bring the right mix of reliability, practical skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.

All our caretakers are DBS-checked and can be provided with manual handling, health and safety, and safeguarding training where needed. We support both entry-level and experienced caretakers who are ready to take on a variety of duties, including maintenance, porterage, site security, and liaising with contractors.

Who We're Looking For We’re keen to hear from individuals with a strong work ethic, basic maintenance skills, and a proactive approach. Whether you have previous school experience or come from a facilities, building, or security background, we’d love to connect you with opportunities in schools that need your support.
