As a result, a new opportunity has arisen for a friendly, organised and committed Estates & Facilities Manager to join our site team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a Facilities / Estates background, ideally with experience of working in schools or on large building projects and leading a team of dedicated staff. As the Estates & Facilities Manager, you will play a lead role in ensuring the Brooksbank school has a safe, warm, clean and welcoming environment for all who work in, learn at and visit the school. You will be expected to provide support to the senior leadership team and colleagues across the wider school and Trust. We are looking for someone who has:

  • The ability to communicate effectively to a range of audiences.
  • Previous experience of working within a school or busy office environment.
  • a good general education with pass grades (C/4) in English and Maths
  • Good ICT skills and (ideally) experience using an MI system such as Arbor or Bromcom.

It’s important that you can demonstrate a solution’s focused attitude, maintaining a positive outlook and work well in a team. What you’ll get in return? You’ll be joining a school and Trust which is all about putting staff first – with numerous wellbeing initiatives and social events to enjoy each term! In addition to this you will benefit from:
