Following the semi-retirement of the current Estates Bursar, The Bradfield Group is seeking to appoint an Operations Manager to play a pivotal role in the operational needs of St Andrew’s; an independent preparatory school in Berkshire.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking senior leadership team and take St Andrew’s forward over the coming years.
The Role
As Operations Manager you will plan and represent the operational needs of the School, including responsibility for site and estates management, compliance and leading a strong health and safety culture.
You will be an important advisor to the Head Master in the day-to-day running of St Andrew’s and will work closely with the Chief Operating Officer of The Bradfield Group and other members of the Group Operations Management Team to ensure that operational services are delivered to support the educational aims and strategy of St Andrew’s.
You will supervise all site operations, logistics and projects on a day-to-day basis and will be the primary lead and champion for the school’s management of health and safety.
About You
You will be able to demonstrate experience of successful leadership in a senior position, managing, organising and motivating multi-disciplinary teams. Experience of running an operational estate, managing budgets and health and safety is essential.
A strategic thinker, you will have the ability to lead and manage projects, make high quality decisions and work effectively under pressure, whilst managing competing priorities. You must be willing to develop a deep understanding of the school’s strategy and ethos and appreciate the interrelationships between the academic, pastoral, commercial and financial aspects of the school.
Expertise in identifying, promoting, leading and delivering site development and sustainability improvement projects is equally important.
Working at St Andrew’s
St Andrew’s is a brilliant place to work, with a collegiate and engaged staff, who take what they do seriously, but themselves less so.
As part of The Bradfield Group, we offer a variety of benefits, such as:
* Competitive salary
* Workplace pension and life cover
* Staff fee remission
* Private medical insurance
* Access to our employee assistance programme
* BHSF health cash plan
