The successful candidate will take a lead role in the daily organisation and management of the school site, ensuring that we provide a safe, efficient and welcoming environment for pupils, staff and visitors.

A key element of this role is the promotion and management of health and safety across the site, so applicants should have a good understanding of relevant legislation, procedures and best practices, alongside excellent communication skills.
This is a busy, hands-on and varied role requiring strong organisational abilities, time management and a proactive attitude.
The ideal candidate will be:
- Passionate about ensuring an exemplary school environment for all
- Knowledgeable about the importance of health and safety within a school setting
- Flexible, approachable, and a positive team player
- Experienced in supervising and motivating others
- Highly organised, with strong time management, communication and IT skills.
