What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced individual to take on an important and highly visible role at this high performing School.
We are seeking an inspirational and self-motivated individual to lead and manage the School’s premises and facilities, and its Health and Safety arrangements. The successful candidate will report directly to the Headmaster, and provide leadership and management of the facilities and cleaning teams and undertake the role of the Health and Safety Officer for the School.
The successful candidate will have proven experience of managing others, project management, preparing reports, ‘trouble shooting’, and developing effective relationships with colleagues and external partners. They should have a track record of outstanding professional conduct, and a commitment to providing services of the highest quality.
Westcliff High School for Boys is proud of its record in providing outstanding educational opportunities for our pupils and staff, and the quality of the environment in which we work, both internally and externally, is considered a fundamental aspect of that provision. The site team is responsible for providing a professional support service to ensure the School’s buildings and grounds are, at all times, maintained to the highest possible standards for pupils, staff and visitors.
The Facilities and Premises Manager is a trusted key holder for the School’s premises and will understand the importance of site security, thus upholding a genuine commitment towards the safety and security of all site users.
Due to the nature of the post and the postholder’s reporting responsibilities, flexibility will be required in relation to the need to take calls out of School hours in the event of emergencies (see responsibilities noted below), the need to attend some evening events, and to liaise with the Headmaster concerning leave arrangements to ensure appropriate cover during School holiday periods, whilst site projects and maintenance work is in progress.
The postholder will provide a professional and courteous service, bringing high level communication skills, both verbal and written. A high level of attention to detail is essential, as is a genuine interest in becoming an active and valued member of our School community, involved in the wider life of the School.
