Job description
At The Family of Learning Trust, our commitment to our pupils is that we will attract, retain and develop excellent staff. The personal welfare and professional development of staff is therefore imperative. We put our team at the heart of our vision and use their talents to achieve it. We are looking for equally committed staff to join our team.
We have an exciting and new opportunity for an experienced Estates and Compliance Manager to join our small and friendly Multi Academy Trust with 5 primary academies within the Trust. You will be responsible for all aspects of the Trust’s estates which include Health & Safety, maintenance and compliance, ensuring adherence with statutory and regulatory requirements. The post will be based at Beech Hill School within the central team but you will be required to travel between all trust schools within the Calderdale and Wyke areas.
The successful candidate will have previous experience in an estates and compliance management role, whilst having knowledge of Health & Safety requirements and Building Management Systems. A NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety certificate is desirable; however, proven experience in the field will be considered, although it will be essential for the successful candidate to commit to work towards this qualification. Previous experience of working in an educational setting would be an advantage.
Candidates should have a good understanding of health and safety legislation as it relates to schools. An ability to work with a wide range of people at senior level and to develop good working relationships is essential, as are excellent written and oral communication skills and a willingness to undertake further training as required.
You will be responsible for identifying improvements to the estate and the schedules of maintenance, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. The trust uses the iAM Compliant IT system to meet estate compliance and asset management necessities, and you will be expected to utilise it and develop its use to realise its full potential. You will work closely with the school business managers and administration teams in each school to assist with the management of the site and facilities staff across the trust. Experience of managing staff and a proven record of developing and maintaining health and safety systems and associated records are essential. In addition, you must be able to effectively manage the shifting demands of the school sites to ensure that issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Benefit package includes:
* Membership of West Yorkshire Pension Fund with employer contribution of 17%
* An employee assistance scheme with access to services to promote a healthy work-life balance
* Commitment to professional development for all staff
* Free car parking at all sites
We offer:
* A friendly, caring and inclusive community where everyone is valued
* A positive ethos that celebrates success at all levels
* An experienced, supportive and successful team
