Create a space where young people can thrive.

At Isebrook School we believe the learning environment is just as important as the lessons taught in it. That’s why we’re looking for a dedicated Site Manager to take ownership of our school’s premises and lead our site team in creating a safe, inspiring, and well-maintained place for students and staff to flourish.

This is more than a maintenance role, it’s a vital leadership position where your work will directly support the education and wellbeing of children with complex needs. You’ll be the driving force behind the safety, functionality, and future development of our site.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading the Site Team
  Motivate and manage a dedicated team responsible for security, cleanliness, repairs, and day-to-day site operations.

• Ensuring a Safe and Secure Environment
  Oversee health & safety compliance, risk assessments, emergency procedures, and the wellbeing of everyone on-site.

• Driving Improvements and Strategic Projects
  Collaborate with school leaders to plan and deliver site improvements, manage contractors, and ensure best value on works and services.

• Managing Contracts and Compliance
  Negotiate and monitor premises-related contracts, from cleaning to building services, and ensure legal and regulatory standards are met.

• Acting as Keyholder & Emergency Lead
  Be our main point of contact for out-of-hours security, alarms, and critical site issues.

👀 What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for someone hands-on, dependable, and solutions-focused — with a passion for maintaining high standards and improving environments for young people.

You’ll need to have:

• Experience in site or facilities management (ideally in a school or similar setting)

• A strong understanding of health & safety regulations and compliance

• Great organisational and leadership skills

• Confidence managing contractors, budgets, and project timelines

• Flexibility to support occasional out-of-hours needs

• A calm, can-do attitude and the ability to think on your feet

💡 Why Join Us?

• A rewarding role where your work makes a real difference every day

• A friendly, collaborative team and supportive leadership

• Opportunities for professional development and growth

• The chance to be part of a school that truly values its environment and the people who take care of it
