School Site Manager in Lichfield, Staffordshire

School Site Manager

Location: Lichfield
Salary: £30,000 – £35,000 per annum DOE
Job Type: Permanent
Hours: Full-time

Teleios Recruitment is supporting a well-established school in Lichfield who are looking for an experienced School Site Manager to join their team on a permanent basis.

This is a hands-on site-based role and we are looking for someone who has previously worked in a school, academy, college or similar educational environment and understands the responsibilities that come with keeping a school site safe, compliant and well maintained.

This is not simply a caretaking position. The successful person will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the site, ensuring that the school buildings, grounds, facilities and compliance requirements are properly managed.

The Role

You will be responsible for the day-to-day management and maintenance of the school site, working closely with the Head Teacher, staff and cleaning team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the school site

• Ensuring the school remains safe, secure and well maintained

• Carrying out regular checks of the buildings, grounds and facilities

• Managing and maintaining compliance records

• Ensuring statutory checks and testing are completed and recorded correctly

• Overseeing fire safety procedures, including fire alarm testing and records

• Identifying maintenance issues and arranging appropriate repairs

• Liaising with contractors and external suppliers

• Carrying out basic maintenance and repairs where appropriate

• Managing keys, security and site access

• Supporting the school with health and safety requirements

• Maintaining accurate records and documentation

• Working closely with the cleaning team to ensure high standards are maintained across the site

• Responding to any issues that arise during the school day

About You

We are looking for someone who has genuine previous experience managing or supervising a school site or similar educational premises.

You will ideally have experience of:

• Working within a school, academy, college or educational setting

• Managing a school/site environment

• Health and safety and compliance procedures

• Fire safety and statutory testing

• Working with contractors and external suppliers

• Keeping accurate maintenance and compliance records

• Carrying out practical maintenance and repairs

• Managing competing priorities and responding to issues quickly

You will need to be organised, practical and reliable, with good attention to detail.

Most importantly, you will understand that working within a school environment is different from managing a standard commercial or industrial site. Safeguarding, compliance, health and safety and keeping the environment safe for pupils and staff are all extremely important.

What We Are Looking For

Previous school site management experience is strongly preferred.

If you are currently working as a:

• School Site Manager

• Site Manager

• Site Supervisor

• Premises Manager

• Facilities Manager

• Caretaker with significant site management responsibility

and are now looking for a permanent opportunity, we would be very interested in hearing from you.

This is a great opportunity to join a friendly school where you will play an important role in the day-to-day running of the site.

Apply today and Teleios Recruitment will be in touch to discuss the role in more detail.
