Summary
Are you a proactive and practical individual who takes pride in maintaining a safe and welcoming environment? We are looking for a reliable Site Manager Level 1 to become the guardian of our academy, ensuring that our facilities are secure, well-maintained, and ready for learning every single day.
About WPT
At Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), we are fueled by a single commitment: 'We never knowingly do less for other people’s children than we would for our own.' As a thriving network of schools across South Yorkshire, we combine high expectations with embedded inclusivity. We do not work in silos; instead, we rely on deep collaboration and school-to-school support to ensure every student develops socially, emotionally, and academically to achieve the highest standards.
About the Role
As Site Manager, you will be the backbone of the academy's daily operations. You will take full ownership of the site's security and safety, from opening the gates in the morning to locking up after community lettings. This is a hands-on and varied role; one moment you might be carrying out minor repairs or overseeing contractors, and the next you could be managing the cleaning team or setting up the hall for an assembly. You will play a vital role in ensuring that the school environment is compliant, clean, and fit for purpose for both staff and students.
Responsibilities
Security & Safety: Ensure the security of the site (including opening/closing procedures and emergency call-outs) and maintain a safe environment through regular risk assessments and strict adherence to Health & Safety regulations.
Maintenance & Operations: Carry out minor repairs, oversee building systems and contractors, and manage general site logistics including porterage, deliveries, and stock control.
Team Management: Allocate work to and monitor the cleaning team to ensure high standards of cleanliness are met, providing training and guidance where required.
Lettings & Compliance: Manage school lettings by preparing the site for activities and ensuring all maintenance records and statutory checks are accurately documented and up to date.
