The role:

We are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic and dynamic estates professional to join our team at Northwood College for Girls. Working closely with the Director of Finance and Operations and Senior Leadership Team, the Estates Manager will be responsible for site and facilities management, health and safety of works, delegated maintenance budget, site security and project management of improvements.

The Estates Manager will manage the Caretaker Team and Contract Cleaners but will have a large influence over the whole school community. Candidates would ideally have a BIFM Level 4 Diploma in Facilities Management and APM PMQ.

About the School:

Northwood College for Girls is an independent, academically selective day school for approximately 880 girls aged 3-18. At NWC, we value character and academic rigour equally. Our curriculum ignites intellectual curiosity and fosters emotional intelligence, building resilience through challenge. An NWC education enables every girl to lead a purposeful life and feel successful in their learning.

Both pupils and staff are encouraged to find and develop their passions and talents, through clubs, societies and an extensive programme of CPD. All members of the NWC community are expected to act with compassion and integrity, with respect for others and the environment and an awareness of global responsibility.

Everyone is equally valued in our NWC family and our dynamic young women are proud of their school. Looking after one another and rejoicing in one another’s successes comes second nature to a NWC girl as does her ‘can-do’ attitude and drive.

NWC is at an exhilarating moment in its evolution, with a dynamic and ambitious Senior Leadership Team and a range of new developments (including a Sixth Form Centre and the Alvarium science building). The successful candidate will be similarly ambitious for the school and ready to make an impact in our vibrant learning community.
