We are currently seeking to fill the position of Assistant Janitor.
Detail
Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools are currently recruiting for an Assistant Janitor to join the Estates and Facilities Department on a permanent basis. The position is available for an immediate start (subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks). The role is full time, working 46.875 hours per week. The successful candidate will work across all school sites including Inverleith.
We are seeking a proactive Assistant Janitor to ensure the safety, security, and smooth operation of our campus. You will be responsible for tasks including acting as Fire Officer, managing fire hazards, monitoring CCTV, assisting visitors, managing traffic, performing minor repairs, and maintaining cleanliness and outdoor areas. You will also support event setups, conduct PAT testing, and maintain school vehicles (minibus).
The ideal candidate will have knowledge of Health and Safety procedures and the ability to handle physical tasks. Desirable criteria include previous experience in a janitorial or caretaking role, cleaning experience, working in a school setting, manual handling training, and familiarity with security and fire systems. A full, clean UK driving licence is essential.
ESMS is unable to sponsor the employment of international workers in this role. International applicants will therefore be unable to apply for and secure a Skilled Worker visa. The successful candidate will only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.
Staff are offered a range of benefits including: a generous holiday allowance, enhanced sick pay, family friendly policies, use of the Schools’ swimming pool and fitness room outside school hours, membership of the ESMS Discount and Benefits Scheme, including a range of discounts at 130,000 retail and entertainment locations.

ESMS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Applicants must undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and Disclosure Scotland.
All staff working at ESMS have direct access to young people; therefore all posts within the school are considered exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
The closing date for applications is 12pm on 15 April 2025. We anticipate interviews will be held shortly thereafter.
