What are we looking for
Clarence House Day Nurseries is a nursery group with 18 locations in East Anglia and the East Midlands.
We’re looking for a Painter and Decorator to carry out redecoration works across our nursery settings, working under the direction of our Operations Manager. Work includes scheduled redecoration (roughly every two years per setting), newly acquired nurseries, and other jobs as they arise.

Your rate of pay will be £17/ hour.
What you’ll be doing:
- Preparing surfaces (filling, sanding, cleaning, priming) and applying paint and decorative finishes to a high standard
- Protecting furniture, fixtures and work areas during jobs
- Keeping work areas clean, tidy and safe throughout
- Following schedules set by the Operations Manager and flagging any further works needed
- Working flexibly, including evenings and weekends where needed, to minimise disruption to nurseries
- Working safely around children and staff at all times
What you’ll need:
- 1–2 years’ experience as a Painter and Decorator or similar
- Good practical knowledge of decorating techniques and surface preparation
- Ability to work independently, to a high standard and to deadline
- Full UK driving licence
- Experience working within occupied buildings is an advantage
As this role involves working in a nursery setting, it is therefore subject to an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. Any offer of employment will be conditional on receipt of a satisfactory check. The cost of this check will be covered by us.
