Premises Manager | Oxfordshire | Immediate Start

Role: Premises Manager / Facilities Lead

Location: Oxfordshire (Thriving Academy)

Contract: Full-time / Permanent

Salary: Competitive (Dependent on experience)

Are you an experienced facilities professional, hands-on site manager, or compliance expert looking for an exciting new leadership challenge? A busy and ambitious academy in Oxfordshire is seeking a dedicated Premises Manager to take total ownership of their estate, ensuring a safe, sustainable, and immaculate learning environment.

If you love managing building projects, overseeing health and safety compliance, and keeping a large school site operating at peak performance, this is the perfect role to make a lasting impact!

The Role

Working closely with senior leadership, you will lead the site and caretaking team, driving the strategic and operational management of the academy's buildings and grounds.

  • Estate & Facilities Management: Oversee day-to-day site operations, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), and major capital improvement projects across the campus.

  • Health & Safety Compliance: Ensure strict adherence to statutory health and safety regulations, including fire safety, legionella testing, asbestos management, and COSHH logs.

  • Team Leadership: Manage, train, and schedule the site, caretaking, and cleaning staff to guarantee seamless daily operations and security.

  • Contractor & Vendor Coordination: Procure and manage external contractors, service level agreements (SLAs), and routine equipment servicing.

  • Security & Emergency Response: Act as a key holder and lead responder for site security, emergency call-outs, and campus protection.

The School

Set in a vibrant Oxfordshire location, this thriving academy boasts a strong reputation for community engagement, high standards, and continuous improvement. The school features a well-maintained, expansive site, forward-thinking leadership, and a collaborative staff culture where facilities management is recognized as vital to student success.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has Facilities Experience: A proven background in premises management, facilities operations, or estate leadership, ideally within an educational or large-scale commercial setting.

  • Prioritizes Compliance: Comprehensive knowledge of UK health and safety legislation, building compliance, and site security protocols (e.g., IOSH or NEBOSH qualifications are a distinct advantage).

  • Is Highly Organized: Exceptional project management skills, strong budgeting capabilities, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

  • Engages Well: A professional, authoritative, yet approachable leadership style capable of communicating effectively with contractors, staff, students, and governors.

Why Apply?

  • Incredible Environment to Work: Join a dynamic, forward-moving academy with a supportive leadership team and a well-resourced campus.

  • Career Growth: Take full ownership of an estate and expand your leadership capabilities in a rewarding educational setting.

  • Work-Life Balance: Competitive salary packaging alongside stable working patterns and holiday entitlement.

  • Immediate Impact: Play a pivotal role in ensuring the physical safety, operational excellence, and future development of the school.
