As part of the wider New Bridge Group there are also two post-19 provisions. Our settings support a wide spectrum of needs from age 4-19 and beyond. The Trust is proud to be national leaders in Special Education and has a culture of creating outstanding opportunities for all. We are at an exciting point in our development, and this role will be crucial in shaping the estates strategy of the Trust as we continue to grow.

• Play a key strategic role in developing and delivering a Trust-wide Estates and Facilities Strategy aligned to the MAT’s vision and long-term goals
• Be responsible for the overall management and operation of the Trust's Estates Team, modelling the MAT’s values, ethical leadership and commitment to safeguarding
• Lead capital planning, lifecycle maintenance and Condition Data Collection programmes
• Ensure full compliance with all estates-related statutory and regulatory requirements, including fire safety, asbestos, water safety, electrical and gas safety
• Act as the Trust’s competent person for estates-related health and safety, working alongside central Health and Safety colleagues
• Lead the Trust’s sustainability and decarbonisation agenda in line with DfE expectations

We can offer you:

• A supportive and values-led culture
• Opportunity to make a real impact across a growing trust
• Flexible working arrangements, including options for hybrid working
• Generous annual leave and pension scheme
• High quality continuing professional development (CPD) through our dedicated Everyone Learning Team
• Hospital Saturday Fund Health Cash Plan, with discount platform and access to Perk Box
• Trust TOIL Scheme for all staff
• The opportunity to be part of our thriving team, who are committed to creating meaningful futures for both our students and staff
