• Oversee the maintenance ticketing system and ensure issues are resolved promptly.
• Manage community lettings and use of school premises by external organisations.
Desirable Skills:
• Extensive estates and facilities-management experience within a school, academy or multi-academy trust environment is essential.
• Strong working knowledge of statutory compliance, health and safety, facilities management and planned maintenance.
• Experience managing contractors, capital works and refurbishment or construction projects.
• Confident people manager with experience leading site-based teams.
• Able to work independently, prioritise competing operational demands and respond calmly to urgent issues.
• Available to start immediately and commit to working onsite five days per week.
Benefits:
• Competitive day rate.
