Interim Estates Manager

A wonderful multi-academy trust has asked us to source their new interim Estates Manager, to support a small network of schools on the delivery of a facilities management function and a safe health and safety experience.

Based in the leafy surroundings of Surrey, this delightful multi-academy trust supports children through primary and secondary education across an estate of 13 schools. Keeping their core values at the heart of everything they do, the school are now looking to bring an interim Estates Manager on board to help in the delivery of a best-in-class service. Joining an already established team, you will be supporting senior leaders within the trust (principals, head teachers etc) on the delivery of a facilities management function within the schools, with a strong emphasis on Health and Safety. 

Having a facilities management background is a given for this position, the key skills you will need will be in health and safety. You will have the confidence to undertake risk assessments, complete site audits, and keep on top of compliance. But also being able to communicate with various senior leaders across the trust – making sure that policies are being kept to, processes are being followed, and safety for the students is at the centre of everything.

In return you will work with wonderful colleagues and a senior management team that is driven and passionate about what they do. They are looking for someone who shares this passion, especially for the world of education. This role would suit someone who is ready to take their next step in their career, or someone who is retired and is looking for work to keep their skills going – either way, the trust offers complete flexibility on the base location and days per week worked.

A great role, one that could move to a permanent placement for the right person.
