Job Description

The following job description is intended for our use so that we can mutually understand the responsibilities of the custodian. The description of tasks is not intended to outline every detail of the custodian’s position. It will serve to give a general impression of the duties relating to the job. It is hoped that the custodian will gradually assume the position of caretaker of the building and facilities, with a feeling of responsibility of their well-being like that which he has for his own personal possessions.

The person who will assume the position of custodian is accepting a very important role in the functioning of our school. The custodian will not only be working with maintenance, a very handy person, engage in cleaning, and care, but he will be working with people, especially children.

A spirit of love and concern shown by friendliness and helpfulness will fit into the framework of the goals our school has for training young children. There is a need for the custodian to understand children and their need for guidance. Younger children usually are awed by adults in the school setting and appreciate a smile and a cheery word. They usually are open to suggestions and will cooperate with attempts to be helpful. The custodian is under the supervision of the director of the school, who will consult with the Governing Health and Safety and the hiring Board at Be Above.
