💰 £70,000 | 37.5 hours per week
🌴 28 days annual leave plus 12 public holidays
At St Mary's Kenmure, we believe the environment where children live, learn and grow is fundamental to their safety, wellbeing and recovery. We're looking for a Head of Estates & Infrastructure to join our Senior Leadership Team and ensure every part of our estate reflects our vision: "a place where people are valued, inspired and thrive."
The role
Reporting to the Head of Integrated Children's Services, you'll lead our Estates Strategy, capital investment programmes, and the day-to-day running of a complex, high-risk estate. As our Health and Safety Officer, you'll chair the Health and Safety Steering Group and hold responsibility for compliance, risk management and fire safety across the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also oversee a broad portfolio of support services: maintenance, facilities, catering, domestic services, grounds and digital infrastructure, ensuring all of it runs reliably enough to support 24-hour care.
What you'll bring
- Significant senior experience in estates, facilities or infrastructure leadership
- A track record of managing planned and reactive maintenance across multiple sites
- Strong health and safety, fire safety and compliance governance experience
- Experience managing contractors, outsourced services and capital projects
- Financial and budget management skills
- An understanding of trauma-responsive environments, and why the physical space matters so much for children who've experienced trauma
- Experience in residential care, secure care, education or health settings is desirable but not essential
