How long have you been a Caretaker?

[Dragonrider]

Same school for 28 plus years, but new management came in, got rid of many long serving teachers and then made life hell for me as well.

That was over 10 years ago now, haven't worked since pretty much.

Coming up on 6 years fulltime soon (did some part-time caretaker work in conjunction with my other roles for a few years before making the switch)... time flies.

Started in schools in 2017, so fairly new to the game! -Fever.png-

In total 42 years but not in the same school, I’m a lot younger now than when I started all those years ago… -Big grin.png-

Ten years this July in the same school - first head retired, 2nd left after about 18 months, then the current one.

Just retired after 40 years and 7 months at the same school basically ( there was a merger). Last 3 years the Academy started off with cutbacks to hours and wages (£9,000) in my case so stress appeared and eventually took its toll so retirement was the best option.

3 different employers.1st adult education, 2nd religious and 3rd primary

Feel like a youngster compared to some, started 2015 14 hours a week in one school but worked in another school at the same time since 2005 as a playleader at lunch time, the site manager decided to leave here so it sort of fell in to my lap so ended up looking after two schools for two years with both their agreement. Now only working in the second school as the first one had a sort out from Executive head down to cleaners and it was decided they didn't like the agreement ( after 2 years ) i left and what a surprise the hours went down to 10
