We are seeking a Site Manager to head up our busy facilities team and ensure the safety and security of our site so that our staff and students have an environment in which they can be proud. You will be an integral part of our community and you must therefore take pride in your work and be committed to the life of our academy, both in term time and school holidays.

·        Create, maintain and monitor the schedule of maintenance tasks for the site and buildings

·        Be a positive role model to our students, making a lasting impact on their lives
