• Assist in managing a team of cleaners

• Providing a service to the site including security, lighting, heating, maintenance and operation of the building.

 The site manager will work in collaboration with the Trust Facilities and Estates Manager understanding compliances and managing change requests on behalf of the school.  They will be responsible for premises at Mercia School.
