HOURS: 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per annum
We are seeking an outstanding, experienced Site Manager to take full ownership of our expansive school site, which includes The Priory Primary School, Children's Centre and Private Day Nursery, and keep it safe, compliant and looking first-class every day. If you're proactive, standards driven and love making a visible difference, this is your next step. You'll lead a committed cleaning team, oversee statutory compliance and planned maintenance, and take pride in creating a calm, welcoming environment where pupils and staff can thrive.
Responsibilities
* Already be an experienced site professional, ideally from a school or similarly complex setting, with proven team leadership.
* Bring confident knowledge of Health & Safety (including manual handling and COSHH), fire safety and premises compliance-and apply it day-to-day.
* Demonstrate robust practical/DIY skills, safe use of machinery and materials, and the ability to keep on top of planned and reactive tasks.
* Lead, motivate and organise cleaners so that every area is spotless, welcoming and fit for learning.
* Excel at prioritising work, solving problems independently, and communicating clearly with staff, contractors and visitors.
* Be flexible about hours (including regular split shifts, evenings and some weekends) to meet operational needs.
* Hold English and Maths qualifications and be confident with ICT; premises-management training/qualifications are a strong advantage.
* Be physically able to meet the role's demands (e.g. lifting, working at height, outdoor work) with appropriate equipment and training.
Why The Priory?
Join a friendly, ambitious school with high standards, supportive colleagues and a real sense of pride in our environment. You'll have visible impact, professional trust and the chance to keep improving how our site runs-every single day.
