A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Site Manager to work in our Primary School which is part of an Academy Trust and based in Bradford. We are a forward facing school and support our families and children in the community by closely working with them and other agencies to ensure that our pupils have the best opportunities available to achieve and excel within education.

The Site Manager plays a key role at the school. You will be working closely with the Head of School and Executive Headteacher to not only manage the security of the building but to take a pro-active role in the maintenance and management of our whole school site, including the Trust Head Office, which is also based within our school site.

You will be the first point of contact for staff regarding maintenance and you will therefore be very customer focused, polite and helpful. You will manage a dedicated team of cleaning staff and you will have great interpersonal skills to support and direct the team to create an outstanding learning environment for our pupils.

You will work with the Chief Estates Officer for the Trust to ensure that the school complies with all requirements of Health and Safety and risk management, and you will liaise with contractors and external agencies to ensure our school site is clean, safe and provides pupils and staff with a great place to learn and work.

Being part of our Multi-Academy Trust means that the Site Manager will have a team of colleagues across the other Trust schools to work and collaborate with.
