A highly regarded secondary school in Didsbury is looking to appoint a dedicated Facilities Officer to join its premises team on a full-time, permanent basis with an ASAP start.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-resourced school where you'll play an important role in maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors. No two days are the same, making this the perfect role for someone who enjoys a varied, hands-on position and takes pride in delivering high standards.
Working alongside the Site Manager and wider premises team, you'll help ensure the school buildings and grounds are maintained efficiently and remain fully compliant with all statutory requirements.
Your responsibilities will include:
Opening and securing the school site when required
Carrying out planned maintenance, minor repairs, and general DIY tasks
Responding to day-to-day maintenance requests across the school
Assisting with Health & Safety inspections and statutory compliance checks
Supporting fire safety, asbestos, legionella, and premises compliance procedures
Supervising contractors while they work on site
Setting up classrooms, sports halls, and meeting spaces for school activities and events
Maintaining the appearance of the buildings, grounds, and external areas
Supporting planned refurbishment and site improvement projects
Located in the popular area of Didsbury, this successful 11–18 secondary school has earned an excellent reputation for its strong leadership, positive culture, and commitment to providing an outstanding learning environment. Staff enjoy working within a supportive team where everyone's contribution is recognised, and the school continues to invest in both its facilities and employees.
Applications are welcomed from experienced Facilities Officers, Premises Assistants, Caretakers, Estates Assistants, Maintenance Operatives, or candidates with relevant experience in facilities management, property maintenance, or building services.
The successful candidate will be practical, dependable, and proactive, with good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise a varied workload. Experience working within a school, college, healthcare, or commercial facilities environment would be advantageous but is not essential.
As part of the school's safer recruitment procedures, references from your current (or most recent) employer and a previous employer will be required before an interview can be arranged.

Full-time, permanent position
