Are you an experienced Estates Manager looking for a senior, strategic role where you can genuinely shape and influence how an organisation's estate is managed and developed?
Do you want to join a growing organisation at an exciting time – where your ideas, leadership, and expertise will directly drive the direction of the estates function, not just maintain it?
On offer is a senior position with a well-established and expanding education institution, where you will have real autonomy and influence over estates strategy across multiple sites. This is a brand new role, created specifically to bring in a credible estates professional who can operate at a strategic level, contribute meaningfully to the trust's long-term growth plans, and lead a high-performing team.
This is not a reactive, task-based role. You will be expected to bring ideas, drive continuous improvement, and take genuine ownership of the estates function – working closely with, senior leaders and the Director of Estates to balance operational delivery with organisation-wide strategic priorities. As the organisation continues to grow and new sites come onboard, the scope and scale of this role will grow with it, making this a genuine long-term career opportunity for the right person.
In this role you will lead the operational delivery of estate services across all sites, oversee planned and reactive maintenance, manage statutory compliance, and provide leadership and professional development to Premises Managers and site teams. You will also support capital projects, funding bids, sustainability initiatives, and long-term estate planning – contributing at a level that goes well beyond day-to-day facilities management.
This role would suit a seasoned Estates Manager with senior, multi-site experience who is looking for a role with real strategic weight, the autonomy to drive change, and the opportunity to grow alongside an ambitious and expanding organisation.
The Role:
Lead estates strategy and operational delivery across 3 sites
Line manage and develop Premises Managers and site teams across the organisation
Oversee statutory compliance, H&S management, contractor performance and capital projects
Brand new role with genuine strategic influence and autonomy – not a task-based position
Monday-Friday 37 hours per week – with mileage reimbursed at 45p/mile
The Person:
Extensive senior-level experience managing estates or facilities across multiple sites
Relevant professional qualification in estates, facilities management, building surveying, or construction management – or demonstrable equivalent experience
NEBOSH or IOSH Health & Safety qualification
Full, valid driving licence
Experience in the education or public sector desirable but not essential
Reference Number: [BH-(Apply online only)]
