You will work collaboratively with school site managers, business managers and leadership teams within schools to set standards and develop knowledge and understanding of estates and procurement policies and procedures across Stour Vale Academy Trust.

The central team is based in our office at Halesowen College. The successful candidate would also be expected to travel to member schools.
