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.

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.
