TLT has recently undergone a rapid period of expansion and now with eight schools across Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire and the West Midlands, and we are looking to expand our central team to help manage this growth and support a period of consolidation across the multi-academy trust (MAT). We require a knowledgeable and committed Estates Manager to support the Tove Learning Trust (TLT) Leadership Team with the development of our school estates and operational management.
The exact job role will vary from time to time due to the differing needs of the trust and the composition of the estate which varies from a 1920’s grammar school to modern day. TLT is a MAT with a small central structure and a large amount of autonomy granted to its constituent schools. Each school has its own site team and business manager (or equivalent) and the post holder will work closely with these teams and the trust leadership team to ensure compliance with our statutory responsibilities.

have a recognisable qualification in a building services trade, surveying, property management, health & safety or equivalent

be able to demonstrate strong IT skills including Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. and a mastery of bespoke software relating to the job role
demonstrate a commitment to ensuring that our school communities can work and learn in a safe environment.
have to meet the person specification and will be required to apply for a DBS disclosure. Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK and hold a current driver’s licence. As travel is required between sites, they must have access to a reliable means of transport in order to carry out their duties. Training and development opportunities will be offered. All staff are encouraged to study further and the trust will actively support staff to obtain relevant further qualifications where possible.
