As Facilities Manager, you will help support our pupils and young people in their daily lives, 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 varied and complex 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 our Facilities Manager take time to make sure everything is as it should be for us to run smoothly and safely.
