  • Budget Oversight: Manage the premises budget, identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring value for money on all repairs and renewals.

The School

This Hillingdon-based school is proud of its modern facilities and large outdoor spaces. The leadership team is highly supportive and views the site team as an integral part of the school’s success. You will have the autonomy to manage your schedule and the resources needed to keep the site in top condition.

Why join this team?

  • Immediate Responsibility: Take the lead on a well-maintained site with the opportunity to implement your own processes and improvements.

  • Professional Support: Work alongside a Business Manager who values the site team’s expertise and provides the necessary backing for major works.

  • Stable Career: A permanent role offering long-term security within a respected educational institution.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in facilities management, site supervision, or a senior caretaking role (preferably within a school or public sector environment).

  • Strong knowledge of Health & Safety legislation, including COSHH, IOSH, or NEBOSH qualifications.

  • Practical "handyman" skills with the ability to perform or oversee minor plumbing, carpentry, and electrical repairs.
