The Role

Are you practical, organised and ready to take ownership of the day-to-day running of a busy school site? Drayton Park School is looking for a proactive and dependable Site Manager to play a vital role in ensuring our school environment is safe, well-maintained and ready to support learning every day.

As Site Manager, you’ll be responsible for the operational management of the school’s buildings, grounds and facilities, supporting a team of caretaking and cleaning staff and overseeing health and safety across the site. From coordinating maintenance, repairs and statutory compliance, to managing contractors, security arrangements and event set-ups, you’ll be hands-on and at the heart of school life.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, takes pride in maintaining high standards and can balance planning with practical problem-solving. Working closely with senior leaders and the Operations team, you’ll help ensure the school runs smoothly behind the scenes, creating a safe, welcoming and well-organised environment for pupils, staff and visitors alike.
