Our client, a fast-growing Multi Academy Trust in Greater Manchester, is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Site Manager to join its expanding central estates team.
This newly created role has been introduced following rapid organisational growth and offers a unique opportunity to support multiple schools across the Trust, ensuring safe, compliant and well-maintained learning environments.

The Role
Reporting to the Estates Operations Manager, you'll provide practical estates and facilities management support across multiple school sites, helping maintain high standards of health and safety, compliance and site presentation.

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
