There are no specific qualifications for conducting the job of a Caretaker. However, persons who have Construction, Building or Engineering certifications have an advantage. Employers expect their workers to be educated, at least, at the high school level with GCSE’s, NVQ’s or SVQ’s.
Some employers require that Caretakers go through background and security checks; having no criminal record. This may be especially true if you are working in schools and other educational institutions. Training is often given to these professionals.
