About This Role

Are you a proactive problem-solver who thrives on keeping things running smoothly?

We are seeking a highly organised and motivated Operations Manager to join our school. This is a pivotal role designed for someone who enjoys variety and enjoys a challenge. Working closely with the Finance Manager and the Senior Leadership Team, you will be the "engine room" of our school’s daily operations.

The Role:

As our Operations Manager, you will take the lead on ensuring our school site is safe, our technology is reliable, and our services are cost-effective.

📌 Key Responsibilities:

  • Contract & Procurement Management

  • Site Leadership
  • Health & Safety
  • Project Management
  • ICT

We’re looking for someone who has:


  • Experience
    in procurement, facilities management, or operational administration.

  • An
    understanding of Health & Safety legislation

  • The
    ability to lead and inspire.

  • Exceptional
    communication skills, with the confidence to report to School Governors
    and Local Authorities.

  • A
    proactive "can-do" attitude and a commitment to the safeguarding
    of our pupils.

  • A
    great sense of humour!

Not a "Perfect Match" on Paper? No
Problem!

We believe that great talent comes in many forms. So,
you don’t meet all the criteria? No problem. Just tell us what you do meet!
If you have experience in some areas but not others—perhaps you’re a wizard at
facilities but new to school-specific H&S, or you’re a great team leader
from a different sector—we want to hear from you.

When applying, please:

1.
Give us some examples of the skills you do bring to the
table.

2.
Tell us how you envisage yourself growing into the role and which
areas you are excited to develop.

We’re not expecting you to tick every single box. If you think you’ve
got what it takes to help our school succeed, let us know. We’d be pleased to
hear from you.
