The Glasgow Academy is seeking an exceptional Business and Estates Manager to play a pivotal role in the effective, forward‑looking management of our operational and physical environment. This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving, ambitious school and contribute to the strategic development of our estate, ensuring our facilities and infrastructure continue to support our growth and educational mission.
About The Role

The position requires a proactive, organised individual with strong attention to detail, excellent judgement, and the ability to anticipate needs and manage competing priorities.
