Facilities include a range of boarding houses, a state-of-the-art sports centre, a performing arts centre, a chapel, staff houses, sports pitches and courts, a lake, parkland and woodland. 

This is an exciting opportunity for a project management professional to join our Estate Maintenance Team and take responsibility for a variety of estates development and refurbishment projects. 

Hours of work: 37.5 hours per week, all year round.  Some weekend work will be required.
