Trust Estates and Procurement Lead is a new role designed to support the Chief Finance Officer in the management of the estates related strategy and operations within the Trust and member schools.

You will work collaboratively with school site managers, business managers and leadership teams within schools to set standards and develop knowledge and understanding of estates and procurement policies and procedures across Stour Vale Academy Trust.

The role requires a dedicated, flexible and organised person who will approach work with a positive attitude, and integrity. The successful candidate will be required to work within our values, ethos and approach of secure autonomy.

The central team is based in our office at Halesowen College. The successful candidate would also be expected to travel to member schools.

Stour Vale is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will carry out pre-appointment checks including DBS and will disqualify any applicant where we consider the outcomes to be unsatisfactory. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974.

We are equally committed to ensuring that no applicant will be disadvantaged or discriminated against because of their protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
