Job overview
The role of the Facilities Manager is to provide an optimum working and learning environment for employees and learners. Critical to this role is quality control and delivering against end-user requirements; this will require a rolling estate improvement strategy (based on the planned maintenance programme).
The post holder will be responsible for all aspects of Facilities Management (FM) including the line management of a small support team. Effective operational management skills are essential to this post. Given the demise of national capital funding, the College has developed a revised accommodation strategy to address back-log maintenance and reduce the amount of GIA in category C. Key to this investment is meeting end user requirements, to enable the effective delivery of core services, with buildings that are efficient and well utilised.
Management responsibilities include: HR management, managing operations, budget control, business planning, management of contractors, procurement, health and safety and the development of management systems and procedures.
As the FM lead for the organisation your technical and specialist responsibilities will include: management of BMS systems, Health & Safety, maintaining statutory compliance, procurement of suppliers/services, cleaning, security, effective management of subcontractors, waste management, managing the cyclical, planned and reactive maintenance programmes, embedding sustainable practices. This is a hands-on role that requires a pragmatic approach to estate management and minimising business interruption.
The department holds a proud track record of 100% business continuity over the past 3 years; as a result the College has not lost a single teaching day to adverse weather, overrun capital projects, union strikes, asbestos removal programmes, intense summer works programmes and in-year improvement programme. The FM will be expected to champion business continuity in conjunction with the Head of Facilities & Risk Management.
About Hopwood Hall College
Hopwood Hall College is a further education college located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The college was first established in 1992, and since its founding has seen extensive redevelopment and modernisation, including the installation of a brand-new technology centre in 2012 which provides facilities for studying motor vehicle maintenance, engineering and brickwork. Although the college had previously contained its own sixth form centre, since 2010 Hopwood Hall has concentrated solely on vocational qualifications for school leavers, along with its extensive adult-education programmes. The college occupies two main sites, located close by to each other in Greater Manchester, each providing a range of high-quality teaching facilities.

Values and Vision
Hopwood Hall College offers a huge range of subjects from entry-level courses up to foundation degrees, with part-time provision available for adult students looking to pursue their qualifications while working. In terms of younger students, Hopwood Hall begins accepting students at age 14, providing entry-level vocational qualifications and, potentially, apprenticeships for Key Stage 4 pupils looking to study outside of school. We have a purpose-built Salon, Restaurant and Technology Centre as well as extensive Sports and Animal Care facilities. Outside of study, the college also works hard to foster a sense of community among its students, playing host to a range of recreational common areas for students to relax and socialise.
Ofsted
“Leaders and senior managers have re-focused the college’s community learning provision. They have established good links with community groups to engage with learners who have not participated in education and training for some time. These learners benefit from the development of their essential English and mathematical skills, including English for speakers of other languages; they are progressing to further study and/or employment.”
