Please note: previous applicants need not apply.The Voyage Learning Campus is looking to appoint a dedicated and proactive Site Manager to maintain a clean, safe, and secure school environment across our dual-site school. The successful applicant will oversee the maintenance and safety of the school buildings and grounds, handle minor repairs, supervise external contractors, and manage site development.
The Voyage Learning Campus is North Somerset’s only Pupil Referral Unit for children from reception age through to Year 11. Most of our children have been, or are at risk of being, permanently excluded from mainstream schools. They can often present with challenging behaviour, so the successful applicant must be resilient and able to manage these situations with confidence and composure.
Key Responsibilities:
• Ensure the upkeep and security of school premises, including routine maintenance, minor repairs, and cleaning.
• Supervise cleaning staff and ensure standards are met.
• Oversee external contractors and monitor their work for quality and safety.
• Promote health and safety standards, conducting regular checks on security systems, fire equipment, and school safety hazards.
• Advise on site development and make recommendations for improvements.
Key Skills & Experience Required:
• Relevant trade qualification.
• Previous experience in facilities management or working with contractors.
• Ability to perform routine maintenance and repairs.
• Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple tasks effectively.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Competence in using standard computer packages.
• This post does include manual handling, occasional work at height, and work during inclement weather, therefore applicants must ensure they are physically fit enough to perform these duties.
The post holder will be required to work independently, across both school sites, and may need to respond to issues at the other site at short notice, so access to your own transport and a clean driving licence is essential, in order to travel between the sites.
If you are ready to make a positive impact on our school environment, we would love to hear from you! If you have any questions or if you would like to visit our school, please contact us.Interviews: Wednesday, 15th January 2025
