Senior Facilities Officer

Office-based (no hybrid working)

About the Role:

A Key Leadership Role Within the Estates, Development and Operations Directorate.

Join us as a Senior Facilities Officer and take on a high‑energy management role at the heart of our newly re‑structured Estates, Development and Operations Directorate.

You will lead a committed team of Facilities Officers who keep our world‑renowned school running smoothly every day.

You’ll oversee day‑to‑day Estate operations — managing contractors, delivering minor maintenance, and ensuring our buildings remain safe, compliant, and consistently well‑presented. You’ll make sure the team is fully resourced and ready to support colleagues with internal moves, room setups, and the preparation of teaching spaces.

Working closely with Directorate colleagues, you’ll help drive excellence in contract management and support the planning and procurement of larger maintenance projects delivered by specialist contractors. You’ll also take ownership of compliance across our complex systems, ensuring all certifications and documentation are accurate, logged, and always up to date.

As the front line of the Directorate, the Facilities team plays a vital role in daily school life. You’ll ensure the building is open each morning, secured each evening, and that the team delivers a fast, professional, and reliable service throughout the day.

You’ll also review services, develop work plans, and create clear standard operating procedures to boost efficiency and raise performance — delivering the level of service expected from a global institution.

If you’re a proactive, confident leader who thrives on delivering excellence, we’d love to hear from you.
