ROLE: Site Manager Level 2

SCHOOL: Rawmarsh Community School

SALARY: WPT Band 6 £32061 - £34434

CONTRACT: Permanent

HOURS: 37 per week, full-time

Are you a skilled hands‑on manager with a knack for leadership? We are looking for an experienced Site Manager Level 2 to take the helm of our premises team, ensuring our academy is not just operational, but a safe, secure and thriving environment for learning.

At Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), we are fueled by a single commitment: "We never knowingly do less for other people’s children than we would for our own." As a thriving network of schools across South Yorkshire, we combine high expectations with an embedded commitment to inclusivity. We do not work in silos; instead, we rely on deep collaboration and school‑to‑school support to ensure every student develops socially, emotionally, and academically to achieve the highest standards.

As a Site Manager Level 2, you step up to take greater responsibility for the strategic care of the academy site. Working closely with the Senior Manager – Premises & Compliance, you won’t just fix problems as they arise; you will help plan to prevent them. You will manage the site budget, procure quotes for work, and oversee external contractors to ensure quality. Crucially, you will also lead and motivate the cleaning team, ensuring standards are met and training is delivered. This role blends practical maintenance skills with team leadership and operational management.

• Site Management & Strategy: Liaise with the Senior Manager to plan scheduled maintenance, procure quotes, and oversee external contractors to ensure work is completed to quality standards.
• Team & Budget Leadership: Allocate work to and monitor the cleaning team, identifying training needs, whilst contributing to the management of the premises budget and stock control.
• Security & Safety: Ensure site security (including opening/closing and emergency call‑outs) and maintain a safe environment through regular risk assessments and strict adherence to Health & Safety regulations.
• Maintenance & Operations: Carry out repairs and building system checks, maintain accurate compliance records, and manage daily site logistics, including porterage and school lettings.

The successful candidate must have significant experience in building maintenance, caretaking, or facilities management.

• Competitive salary
• Generous Local Government (support staff) and Teacher Pension Schemes
• Health and Wellbeing, including a Westfield Health subscription
• Professional Growth and Development

Closing Date: Noon, Monday 12th January 2026
