Facilities Manager job summary

As Facilities Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations, safety, and long-term development of the Wimbledon College site. Reporting to the School Business Leader, you will take direct responsibility for our buildings, grounds, health and safety compliance, catering, commercial lettings, and site security.

You will line manage our operational team—including the Site Supervisor, caretaking staff, in-house catering manager, and administrative support—ensuring the school runs safely, efficiently, and smoothly every day. A key part of the role involves managing contractor relationships, overseeing minor works, and driving energy-saving initiatives across the estate in line with our Jesuit ethos (Caring for Our Common Home).

With Wimbledon College due to join the Sancta Familia Catholic Academy Trust this academic year, this is a great time to take on the post. You will work closely with Trust colleagues to align our premises management with DfE standards, share best practice, and ensure our site continues to support the very best environment for our pupils and staff.

Key Requirements:

• IOSH Managing Safely qualification (or commitment to achieve within 6 months) and Level 3 NVQ/A-Levels.
• Proven leadership of multi-disciplinary teams (premises, catering, admin).
• Sound understanding of UK statutory H&S compliance, DfE estate standards, and contract management.

What We Offer:

We offer a supportive well-resources environment with excellent opportunities for professional development within the school and in future, within the Trust.

We reserve the right to close this advert early should a suitable candidate be appointed, so early applications are strongly encouraged.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.

Wimbledon College is a popular and oversubscribed school which prides itself on its exam results at both GCSE and A level with results significantly above national averages. As a Jesuit school, our ethos can be summed up by St Ignatius Loyola’s vision for Jesuit schools as being “for improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good.” Central to St Ignatius’ vision and to the College is the education of the whole person, providing each pupil with the opportunity to strive for excellence in all that they do.

The school is accommodated in striking Grade II listed buildings on Edge Hill, above the parish church of the Sacred Heart, on a spacious green site in a conservation area. Private and public funds have facilitated a substantial development of the facilities of the College over the last fifteen years.
The College currently has close to 1300 boys on roll including 270 in the Sixth Form. It is a great place to work with a supportive, committed staff who share the school’s high expectations. All teachers are specialists in their subjects and there is a well-established CPD programme which encourages staff to work collaboratively on self-identified areas of research and pedagogy.

Wimbledon College has a strong system of pastoral care and discipline. All teachers are form tutors and work with Heads of Line in ensuring every boy is supported, cared for and challenged to progress academically and become involved in the wider life of the school. The school’s intake is truly comprehensive academically, socially and economically and ethnically. It draws from across southwest London and from Surrey and north of the Thames also. Last year saw boys join the College from over 40 different schools. Places in Y7 are regularly oversubscribed threefold.

We encourage all of our boys to be involved in extra-curricular clubs and activities and we offer over 80 different such opportunities to the boys. The school has a strong tradition of drama and music as well as a very extensive sports programme in the school, financially supported by parents’ donations to the School Fund.
