Janitor

Dollar Academy has been a co-educational day and boarding school since its foundation in 1818. Today, it provides an exceptional all-round education to around 1,350 pupils aged 5-18. Our focus is on encouraging the individual talents and ambitions of every young person, in a positive and supportive environment that fosters the development of transferable skills, self-confidence and strong personal values.

We have recently been named as the Sunday Times Scottish Independent School of the Year 2024.

The school’s location is undoubtedly one of the most scenic in the country, set against the Ochil Hills and the historic Castle Campbell, but within easy reach of the major towns of the Central Belt and just 40 minutes from Edinburgh Airport. The Dollar community is welcoming and vibrant. The whole school sits within a single, stunning 70-acre campus.

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Janitor to join our Estates team. The Janitor is one of a team of two Janitors, whose main duties lie in security of people and the campus, preparation of premises for the Academy’s activities and events (both routine and non-routine), traffic/ parking control and porterage. The Janitors have an increasingly important role in maintaining the security of the Academy and in the welcome provided to visitors to the site.

Candidates must hold a full UK driving license with minibus and trailer entitlement being beneficial.
