Are you a Facilities Manager wanting to develop your career? We are looking for a responsible, hands-on Facilities Manager to join our fantastic team at our brand-new Groveside School in Reading. You will help support our pupils by ensuring our sites are well maintained and equipped to meet their needs.
This is a great opportunity to work as part of a team committed to helping pupils with SEMH and associated needs. You will take pride in maintaining our school, from day-to-day repairs to completing risk assessments, carrying out security procedures, checking equipment and contributing to school development projects. For many of our pupils, consistency is key, and you will ensure everything is as it should be for us to run smoothly and safely.
Previous experience in a similar setting would be great but isn’t essential as full training will be given; the right DIY skills, motivation, and personal qualities are just as important. These roles are ideal for people with maintenance, DIY and health and safety skills seeking a role that makes a real difference to pupils’ lives and futures. You will be quality-focused, efficient, able to work at pace, and motivated to provide a safe, caring environment where every pupil can thrive.
