Support with continuing professional development
We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, enthusiastic, and reliable Premises Manager to join our highly successful and happy school. We are renowned for our caring, family atmosphere where each pupil is respected for their individuality, and all are encouraged to develop confidence at every opportunity. We have an experienced and committed team of staff who work hard to bring out the best in everyone, and the Premises Manager plays an important part in supporting this.
The successful candidate will be expected to take pride in maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming school environment. They will demonstrate initiative in carrying out premises, ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of the site.

A strong sense of responsibility for the security, safety, and presentation of the school site.
Practical skills in routine maintenance, repairs, and health & safety checks.
Reliability, punctuality, and the ability to prioritise tasks and communicate effectively.
A positive and proactive attitude, with the willingness to support school activities when required.
Good interpersonal skills and the ability to work well with staff, pupils, parents, and external contractors.
Strong organisational and leadership skills, with the ability to manage contractors and coordinate site staff (including cleaners/gardeners if applicable).
Knowledge of statutory compliance requirements (health & safety, fire safety, water hygiene, asbestos, etc.) and willingness to maintain accurate records.
Ability to contribute to strategic planning for site development and improvement.
Budget awareness and confidence in obtaining quotes, managing costs, and reporting to the Business Manager.
