Schools rely heavily on skilled caretakers to ensure their facilities run smoothly, but staffing gaps due to absences can create significant operational challenges. East Ward Community Primary School, part of the Vision Multi-Academy Trust, faced precisely this issue during the busy 2024 summer holidays.
Here at TIB Services, the UK’s only specialist school site staffing provider, we supplied temporary school caretakers to fill their staffing gaps during the holiday period. Unlike general recruitment agencies, we have unique insight into the challenges involved with recruiting for these roles and what makes an excellent candidate — pre-vetted, highly capable individuals ready to step in and make a positive impact.
Kathryn Mort, Headteacher at East Ward Community Primary School, was delighted with our candidate, commenting: “He did a fantastic job from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Pat again.” Patrick, the caretaker placed by TIB Services, also expressed his enthusiasm, saying he would be happy to return to the school in the future.
Dawn Wallace, Events & Building Manager at Vision Multi Academy Trust, also commented on the difference that TIB Services has made to their schools.
