What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a highly motivated Estates Manager to oversee the management of our school estates across our two sites. Working closely with and supported by the Academy Health & Safety Compliance Manager, this is a pivotal role ensuring our campuses provide safe, secure, and inspiring environments for pupils, staff, and visitors.
Whilst previous experience of estates management is desirable, applications are also welcomed and encouraged from those with significant hands-on practical experience of working within a trade or estates management, looking to take a first step into a management position.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead and manage the school’s estates functions across both sites, ensuring they are safe, secure, and well-maintained.
• Oversee and support the deployment of the Academy’s site maintenance and cleaning teams across the Sleaford and Ruskington campuses.
• Manage contractors, maintenance staff, and service providers to deliver high-quality estates management.
• Work closely with the Health and Safety Compliance Manager to ensure all regulations are implemented and adhered to.
• Contribute to the strategic development of the school’s estate, supporting capital projects and long-term planning.
About You
• Proven track record of working within a trade or estates management, ideally within an educational or public sector setting.
• Strong leadership and organisational skills, with the ability to manage teams across two sites.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with staff, contractors, and stakeholders.
• A proactive, solution-focused approach to managing complex estates challenges.
Why Join Us?
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of our school environment. You will be part of a supportive leadership team, with opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a lasting impact on the learning experience of our pupils.
