Long Road was judged by OFSTED to be Good or Outstanding in all five categories at its most recent inspection in February 2025.

In this role you will manage operations ensuring the estate is safe, well-maintained, and supports educational delivery through effective planning, compliance, and investment. Ensuring that all buildings, grounds and infrastructure are safe, compliant, sustainable and fit for purpose. You will lead and manage Estates staff, ensuring correct levels of staffing are maintained for effective site management and a staff Rota is in place for weekly working patterns. You will also assist in the planning and play an active role in the delivery of College events such as admissions, open evenings and any other such events as and when required.
