School Caretaker Jobs - How to get them etc

[Mers1]

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about school caretaker jobs as in:

• I assume you apply to the school?
• Does it pay well
• Working hours.

Any information at all would be helpful.

Many thanks

• Does it pay well

My gut feeling tells me they do not pay well...

hours aren't great. Alot of work takes place at weekends and remember when elections are taking place, it is usually the responsibility for the care taker to set up the school for voting - long days!!
