Shape the Future of Our School Infrastructure
Are you a strategic leader who thrives on operational excellence? We are seeking an exceptional Operations Manager to drive our school's infrastructure, compliance, and support services forward.
This is a critical, strategic role reporting directly to the Headteacher. You will lead vital non-teaching functions, manage a talented middle leadership team, and work closely with Governors to ensure a safe, efficient, and innovative learning environment.

Compliance & Safety: Oversee GDPR compliance and Health & Safety, site security, and cyber security protocols.

Joint Strategy: Partner with the School Finance & Business Manager on joint procurement, policy creation, and high-value funding bids (e.g., CIF grants).
What We Are Looking For?
The role of School Operations Manager requires a combination of operations management credentials, specialised health and safety compliance certifications, and school-specific leadership training. We are looking for an Operations Manager who can seamlessly run the non-teaching operational side of the school. Because our school environment is so unique, we are specifically looking for a distinct mix of strategic leadership, school operations acumen, and compliance to high standards in all aspects of the role.
Why Join Us?
Impactful Role: Direct influence over the school’s operations, strategic growth, and resource allocation.
Professional Growth: Dedicated support for your own professional competence and leadership development.
Benefits: Generous Local Government Pension Scheme, competitive salary and a supportive, collaborative working environment.
