Excellent opportunity to step into a rewarding and varied leadership role at the heart of a busy and welcoming school community. This position offers responsibility, day-to-day variety, and the chance to take ownership of keeping a large and historic site running safely and smoothly.

The school is a highly prestigious educational institution where teamwork and commitment are highly valued. You will be a vital part of the operation, leading from the front to ensure the site is safe, secure, and well-maintained, while working collaboratively with a supportive team who rely on your expertise to keep everything running.

In this role you will take charge of the day-to-day running of the estates team and facilities. From supervising the maintenance team and contractors, to overseeing compliance checks, portering, and hands-on maintenance tasks, you will enjoy a broad and interesting role where no two days are the same.

The ideal candidate will bring experience in estates, premises, or facilities management, a proactive and practical approach, and the confidence to lead a small team. Strong organisational skills, solid knowledge of health and safety, and a hands-on attitude are essential. Experience in a school or public sector setting is desirable but not required.

The Role:
* Lead and supervise the estates team in their day-to-day duties
* Manage and motivate a small maintenance team to deliver a high-quality service
* Oversee all aspects of planned and reactive maintenance, compliance, and health & safety
* Liaise with contractors and ensure external works are carried out to a high standard
* Manage portering services, including set-ups for events and occasional evening/weekend work
* Support energy management monitoring and contribute to minor project works

The Person:
* Experience in estates, site, or facilities management
* Proven ability to lead and motivate a team effectively
* Strong working knowledge of statutory compliance, planned maintenance, and health & safety
* Practical problem-solving skills across maintenance and building services
* Confident, hands-on approach with good organisational skills
