A Bit About Us
At Partou, childcare isn't just a job — it's a journey.

We're one of the largest childcare providers in the UK, following the merger of Just Childcare and All About Children. Backed by the Netherlands' largest childcare group, we support over 75,000 children across 1,000+ nursery branches worldwide. With ambitious plans for growth and continuous improvement, it's an exciting time to join our team.

Why This Role Matters
We're proud of our settings — and keeping them safe, functional, and compliant is essential to the care we provide. As a
Maintenance Engineer
, you'll play a key role in ensuring our nurseries remain safe, welcoming, and in great working order.

You'll be hands-on across multiple sites, attending reactive maintenance calls, completing compliance checks (such as fire safety and Legionella), and ensuring all work is logged, compliant, and delivered to a high standard. You'll also be a go-to person for onsite queries, spotting opportunities to improve how we operate and helping nursery teams focus on what matters most — the children.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Responding to maintenance issues across your region, making safe or completing first fixes where possible
  • Supporting with planned preventative maintenance (PPM) visits and contractor oversight
  • Conducting internal compliance checks (Legionella, fire safety, etc.) and reporting issues promptly
  • Ensuring accurate records for H&S and Ofsted audits
  • Advising nursery teams on facilities matters and escalating issues as needed
  • Suggesting efficiency improvements and cost-saving opportunities
  • Maintaining excellent customer service and communication with all settings

What You'll Bring

  • Background in maintenance, general trades or multi-site facilities support
  • Understanding of compliance requirements (e.g. Legionella, Fire Safety)
  • Strong organisation and a hands-on, can-do approach
  • Confidence managing your own workload and making practical decisions under pressure
  • Willingness to travel nationwide and a full UK driving licence
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Comfortable using systems to log, track, and report on work
  • A genuine commitment to safety, quality, and supporting others

What Success Looks Like

  • High first-time fix rate and strong site feedback
  • Compliance levels above 98%
  • Well-maintained documentation and audit readiness
  • Cost efficiencies and clear, proactive communication
  • Safe, well-managed settings where teams can focus on care
