This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced facilities professional to join Kingston Educational Trust at a pivotal stage in its development. As Senior Facilities Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring our schools provide safe, secure, compliant and inspiring environments while helping to shape the future strategic management of our estate.

We are seeking an experienced and proactive leader to oversee the management of our shared estate and statutory compliance across two successful schools within the Trust.

This is a senior operational leadership role with responsibility for ensuring our schools provide safe, secure, compliant, and inspiring environments in which pupils and staff can thrive.

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.
