Site Manager (Full Time, All Year Round, Split Shift)

Fender is a busy, thriving, inclusive Primary School on the Woodchurch Estate.  We are looking for an exceptional  Site Manager who sees beyond the bricks and mortar of our school and understands that having a safe, well-maintained and welcoming environment has a real impact on our pupils, staff and visitors every day.  

The Site Manager role at Fender is varied, hands-on, and highly visible. You will be a vital face for our school community, responsible for tasks from site security, maintenance, compliance checks, minor repairs and grounds upkeep, to greeting our pupils and parents at the gates each day and supporting school events. Working closely with the School Business Manager, you will ensure our physical environment reflects the high standards and warm heart of our school.

We are looking for a Site Manager who:
Is an excellent communicator with a calm, warm, approachable manner - you'll be a familiar face to our children, staff, and visitors as an essential part of the Fender Team.
Has a handy, practical skill set (basic DIY, plumbing, and carpentry skills are a huge plus) with a sharp eye for detail and a strong work ethic. 
Is adaptable and comfortable working split shifts to ensure our school is ready in the morning and safely locked up at the end of the day.
Is a proactive problem solver who can work on your own initiative, spots what needs doing and takes pride in a job well done.
Understands the importance of safety and security in a school environment, manages external contractors, and keeps accurate compliance records and documentation.
Shares our Fender values, demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding and our ambition for Fender Primary to always be the best it can possibly be.

In return we can offer you:
A highly supportive, committed and friendly staff, Senior Leadership team and Governing Body.
A rewarding and varied role where no two days are the same and your hard work is visibly appreciated by the whole school community.
Full training and support with ongoing professional development opportunities.
Access to the local government pension scheme.

If you are looking for a Site Management role where you can make a real difference every day we would love to hear from you.
