contractors.

• Strong initiative, practical problem-solving and attention to detail.

• Ability to keep accurate schedules, maintenance records and inventory logs.

• Reliable, physically capable and comfortable working in a school environment.

• Relevant trade qualification, landscaping experience and a driver’s licence are advantageous.

To apply: Submit a CV outlining practical experience and contactable references to careers@learningladderzm.com.
