Facilities Manager

Sedbergh School is now seeking a full time Facilities Manager to adopt an important position of leadership in our busy and high achieving boarding school.

The Facilities Manager will have a role as the immediate deputy to the Bursar (Operations) and therefore the key personal attribute will be one of effective leadership, coupled with clear communication. The position demands that teams provide the best possible results across the Schools - in effect, the customer base. While much can be achieved through thorough planning, the post-holder will be someone who can develop effective solutions, anticipate and resolve problems and show initiative. There is a requirement to work closely and communicate with colleagues in other departments and to ensure close cooperation between all operations departments.

Our ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate with clarity, both verbally and in writing, at all levels of the organisation. Demonstrable experience of leading and managing a team is key, as is the ability to work flexibly and develop productive working relationships with others.

In exchange the School will offer:

• Competitive salary;
• Generous remission on school fees;
• Assistance with short-term accommodation may be possible;
• Contributory Pension Scheme – to include life cover while remaining within the scheme;
• Statutory Sick Pay entitlement - conditional on meeting the demands of the scheme;
• Free car parking;
• Ride2Work;
• Opportunity to see School productions;
• Staff events and family fun days!
• Sedbergh School staff can use the School’s vast facilities (outside the School timetabling) including the indoor swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, and the incredible state of the art Hirst Sport Centre, which opened in 2018.
