Our school is very highly regarded, heavily oversubscribed and enjoys consistently outstanding examination results. Finchley Catholic is a very rewarding place to work with a supportive collegiate atmosphere. The school site is complex with a variety of buildings ranging from the late 1800s to 2026. We also have playing fields at a separate location nearby. There are ambitious plans to develop the site as well as an intensive programme of works planned on existing buildings. We are looking to appoint a Site Manager who can lead a team of two caretakers and one cleaner, to maintain our school site to the highest standards and play a key role in supporting the development of the site as we head towards our centenary.

Do you have:

• Experience in managing buildings and a site with a good knowledge of services and compliance
• Strong IT skills to manage records and systems online
• The ability to undertake small scale repairs and maintenance
• Good verbal and written communication skills
• A ‘can-do’ approach to running day to day operations with the flexibility to adapt at short notice
• Line management experience and/or experience of overseeing third party contractors

We can offer you:

• Accommodation of a 3 bedroomed house next to the school (after a three months probation period) at a substantially subsidised rental
• An outstanding opportunity to play a pivotal role in managing and developing the school premises
• A friendly, vibrant and caring school where staff are really valued
• A varied role with scope to make a difference
• A strong commitment to training and a staff wellbeing day after 1 years’ service
