We are delighted to be supporting a newly created, forward-thinking education trust in Birmingham. The Trust is dedicated to providing inclusive, pupil-centred education for young people with SEND and medical needs. Due to succession planning, we are seeking an experienced Operations Manager to lead and develop its estates and facilities management services across multiple sites. The Operations Manager is integral to ensuring the estate is safe, compliant, and well-maintained, while delivering operational excellence and exceptional customer service. This is a key position and will lead the caretaking and cleaning team, ensuring best value, sustainability, and compliance with Health and Safety legislation. The role also includes managing capital projects, budgets, and contributing to estate planning and environmental initiatives. The successful candidate will hold a relevant qualification (IWFM, NEBOSH, or IOSH), possess strong leadership and communication skills, and bring experience managing estates or facilities within the education sector. This will suit a Site/Estates Manager currently in a stand-alone secondary academy or multi-site primary Trust, who is seeking their next move into a larger, operational setting. If you are a proactive, solution-focused professional with a commitment to safeguarding, sustainability, and the Trust''s inclusive ethos, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
