Keep operations running. Lead a hands-on team. Be part of something bigger.
We're looking for an experienced, proactive Estates Team Supervisor to take charge of day-to-day operational support within a dynamic and varied estate environment. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong practical skill set and leadership experience to take the next step in their career — supporting buildings, people, and events in a fast-paced, high-functioning environment.
The Role:
As Estates Team Supervisor, you’ll be the go-to person for organising and delivering essential operational support — from maintenance and porterage, to event setup, equipment logistics, and day-to-day problem-solving across a historic and active estate. You’ll lead a team of Estates Technicians and work closely with the Estates Services Manager to keep everything running smoothly.
Your Key Responsibilities:
* Oversee the daily activities of the Estates Technicians, ensuring reactive and planned tasks are prioritised effectively.
* Assist with work planning and task allocation using the CAFM system and Helpdesk.
* Support maintenance across the estate, including minor repairs, decorating, and compliance checks.
* Coordinate porterage tasks, including furniture and equipment moves across academic, residential, and staff buildings.
* Lead support for events and school functions (e.g. open days, sports events, exams).
* Manage the delivery/collection of equipment and assist with general waste and recycling duties.
* Carry out external tasks such as gritting, small road repairs, and site upkeep.
* Ensure health & safety is maintained and report any issues promptly.
About You:
You’re a hands-on problem-solver with great organisational skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude. You take pride in your work and enjoy leading a team to get things done efficiently and to a high standard.
What You’ll Need:
* Experience supervising or managing a team in an operational/estates environment
* Strong practical skills (multi-trade background or facilities maintenance experience ideal)
* Ability to work independently and confidently in a busy environment
* Manual handling awareness
* Good communication skills and a team-first approach
* Competent IT skills (CAFM system experience a bonus)
* Previous porterage or cleaning experience (desirable)
* A full UK driving licence (preferred)*
*Please note: this role involves driving estate vehicles. Offers of employment are conditional on being accepted for insurance cover under our policy.
