Job description
The Opportunity Northampton is a town with a rich architectural history and a rapidly expanding residential landscape. We are seeking a proactive and highly skilled Site Manager to take full responsibility for the physical environment of a thriving primary school. In this role, you will be the custodian of the school’s assets, ensuring that the buildings and grounds provide a safe, inspiring, and impeccably maintained space for our youngest learners to flourish. The Role & Department You will lead the premises team, working directly with the Headteacher and School Business Manager to oversee the strategic and day-to-day management of the school site. Unlike a general caretaking role, the Site Manager position involves significant responsibility for health and safety compliance, budget monitoring for repairs, and long-term premises improvement planning. You will operate within a supportive primary setting where the site team is highly valued for their role in creating a positive first impression for families and the local community. The school provides a professional environment with access to modern facilities management tools and a commitment to ongoing statutory training. Core Responsibilities Strategic Site Management: Developing and implementing a rigorous planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedule to ensure the longevity of the school’s infrastructure. Health & Safety Leadership: Serving as the school’s Lead for site safety, managing risk assessments, COSHH registers, and ensuring all statutory testing (Fire, Legionella, Asbestos, Electrical) is completed and documented. Contractor Management: Procurement of external services, from cleaning and catering to major building works, ensuring all contractors are supervised and meet the school’s safeguarding standards. Budget & Resource Oversight: Managing the premises budget effectively, identifying cost-saving opportunities in utilities and maintenance without compromising on quality or safety. Project Coordination: Overseeing small-to-medium scale renovation projects, ensuring work is completed on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to the primary school timetable. The Successful Candidate We are looking for a disciplined professional with a "can-do" attitude and a high level of technical competence. Requirements include: Experience: Significant experience in facilities management, site supervision, or a senior trade role, preferably within an educational or public sector setting. Technical Knowledge: A comprehensive understanding of building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and a current working knowledge of Health & Safety legislation (e.g., IOSH or NEBOSH certification is highly desirable). Leadership Skills: The ability to manage and motivate a site team, as well as the communication skills to report clearly to the Senior Leadership Team and Board of Governors. Administrative Precision: Proficiency in maintaining digital records and compliance logs, with strong organizational skills to manage competing priorities. Why Join Us? A senior support role with significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the physical future of a primary school. Access to specialized professional development in school business and facilities leadership. The opportunity to work in Northampton, benefiting from its central location and the professional networks within the regional education trusts. A stable, year-round position with a competitive salary and the satisfaction of maintaining a vital community asset. How to Apply Please submit your current CV to begin the application process for this Site Manager position. An enhanced DBS check will be required for the successful candidate.
