Premises Manager - Highly Regarded Secondary Academy in...
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time, Permanent (Year-Round Framework)
Salary: Paid to scale (Support Staff Framework)
The Role
A highly regarded Secondary Academy in Birmingham is seeking a professional, highly driven, and exceptionally organised Premises Manager to oversee the operational compliance, daily maintenance, and physical security of their modern urban campus. This position is ideal for an experienced facilities coordinator, estates manager, or senior technician looking to step into a prominent leadership role within a well-structured educational framework.
The successful candidate will take full accountability for the day-to-day safety and functionality of all school buildings, hard court sports areas, and communal spaces. Key responsibilities include leading the on-site caretaking team, scheduling planned preventative maintenance (PPM) tracks, and maintaining impeccable statutory safety logs—including fire safety systems, emergency lighting setups, gas safety records, and legionella water tracking files. You will also oversee the school's digital facilities helpdesk tracking platform, ensure contractor performance metrics are met during targeted repair works, and optimize the school’s energy efficiency via the building management system (BMS).
You will work closely with the School Business Manager to manage asset registers, draft comprehensive risk assessments, and ensure absolute compliance with health and safety legislation (HASAWA frameworks). Crisp communication, deep data literacy, and a proactive, collaborative approach are required to manage unexpected building emergencies while upholding high standards across the academy estate.
School Information
This is an 11 to 18 well-established Academy in Birmingham with a powerful commitment to community service, operational excellence, and student welfare. The academy serves a vibrant regional community and features modernised facilities, including advanced science labs, specialized technical workshops, and extensive media hubs.
The premises and estates team are treated as an essential, core pillar of the wider school faculty. Staff benefit from a highly supportive professional culture, an open and approachable leadership team, and funded opportunities for continuous specialized training and technical safety certifications (such as IOSH, NEBOSH, or statutory testing modules).
Requirements
Proven experience in a facilities management, estate coordination, or senior site manager role, ideally within an educational or public-sector setting
Solid working knowledge of current health and safety legislation, COSHH frameworks, and statutory building compliance tracking
Good IT and data management capabilities, with complete confidence utilizing digital helpdesk software and logging systems
Professional, objective, and proactive approach to team supervision and contractor management
A background in a mechanical/building trade or an equivalent physical maintenance skill set is highly advantageous
Application
To apply, please send your comprehensive CV as soon as possible.
