The posting

The role that keeps the school running.

Every great school needs someone who makes things happen.

About the role

As School Operations Manager at Lift Bexleyheath, you'll be the operational leader who keeps the school running smoothly, safely and efficiently. From finance and facilities to compliance, administration and health & safety, you'll bring together multiple functions and make sure everything works seamlessly.

This is a role where you'll be visible, hands-on and making a difference every day. You'll solve problems, lead teams, work with contractors and partners, support colleagues and build strong relationships across the school and wider Trust. No two days will be the same.

Key responsibilities

  • Leading the school's administration and operational teams, ensuring high standards across all areas.
  • Driving high standards of compliance, health & safety and data protection.
  • Overseeing facilities, estates, catering, cleaning and IT services.
  • Supporting HR coordination, including recruitment, induction, performance management, procurement, finance and budget administration.
  • Coordinating staffing cover and key people processes.
  • Managing lettings, transport, communications and wider operational logistics.
  • Acting as the key link between the school and central and regional support teams.
  • Support with the creation and implementation of the school marketing plan; ensure school follows Trust-wide brand guidelines; manage school website and social media.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and the overall efficiency of school operations.

What we're looking for

You'll be an organised, proactive and highly capable operational leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys finding practical solutions to challenges.

You may already have experience in:

  • School operations or school business support.
  • Facilities or estates management.
  • Project or operations management.
  • Hospitality, events or service delivery.
  • Another operational leadership role where you've managed competing priorities and delivered high standards.

Most importantly, you'll be:

  • A natural problem solver who takes initiative and gets things done.
  • Calm and confident under pressure.
  • An excellent communicator and relationship builder.
  • Comfortable leading, supporting and developing teams.
  • Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Someone who takes pride in creating a safe, well-run and positive environment.
  • Committed to making a real difference to the lives of young people.

Simply put, you'll be the person who spots issues, finds solutions and gets things done.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
