Full Job Description
At the heart of a successful school is an environment where pupils feel safe, staff feel supported and everything works as it should - often without being noticed. We are now looking for an Operations Manager who understands just how vital that quiet excellence is.
This is a key leadership role for someone who takes pride in high standards, clear systems and well-run spaces, and who enjoys working as part of a close-knit school community. The Operations Manager will ensure that our site, facilities and operational services are safe, compliant, well maintained and welcoming, allowing teaching and learning to flourish.
Working closely with the Head and Senior Leadership Team, the postholder will lead on health and safety, estates and facilities, site security, transport oversight and contractor management. They will bring calm authority, sound judgement and a collaborative approach, balancing day-to-day operational demands with longer-term planning and improvement.
We are looking for someone who is practical, organised, proactive and solution focused, a strong leader with excellent communication skills. Proven experience in operations, facilities or estates management is essential, ideally within education or similarly regulated setting, together with a genuine commitment to safeguarding and to being an active, engaged member of the school community.
Hours: 36 hours per week, 52 weeks per year (Mon - Thurs: 8.20 am to 4.45 pm and Fri: 8.20 am to 3.40 pm)
