Ground staff at a secondary or area school
If you work at an area or secondary school looking after the school grounds, including sports fields, gardens and other outdoor facilities, then you're ground staff. You might be called a senior groundskeeper, groundskeeper, assistant groundskeeper or grounds labourer.
Terms and conditions of employment for ground staff in area and secondary schools are now covered by the School Caretakers', Cleaners', Canteen and Ground Staff Collective Agreement. To be covered by this collective agreement, employees will need to be a member to E tū.
