Kingstone Academy Trust, comprising Kingstone High School and Kingstone and Thruxton Primary School, is seeking to appoint an Estates manager who will have responsibility for managing the trust estate (grounds and buildings). We are located in a beautiful setting 5 miles southwest of Hereford serving a large rural catchment area, with an extensive site and superb sports facilities.

The role will also include procurement, Health and Safety, and compliance.   The Estates manager will manage a two site team staff and advise on, and implement, the day-to-day support that enables the Academy to operate effectively and efficiently, and that allows others to focus on teaching and learning.

The successful candidate will be flexible and show evidence of their ability to work well within a team, as well as being able to demonstrate clear leadership qualities and interpersonal skills. You will be used to working at both operational and strategic levels with the ability to work under pressure and prioritise effectively, overseeing our capital investment plan and strategic maintenance programme. The ability to communicate clearly is a must: as is the capacity to work with a wide group of stakeholders including teachers, support staff, the Finance Director and the Heads of School, as well as external bodies. 

We welcome applications from those seeking a part time role with flexible working arrangements (set your own diary). If you have any questions, or would like an informal
