This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in taking on a responsible role in a friendly and supportive environment. Our ideal candidate is able to offer successful experience of site management, including leading a team as well as a solid understanding of Health and Safety. This is an opportunity for somebody with both excellent communication and practical skills. You will be energetic, enthusiastic and flexible in your approach, as well as being both a leader and a team player. You will need to work with a wide variety of stakeholders, including Governors, school and Trust staff (both teaching and non-teaching), external contractors and the Site Team themselves.

We would welcome interest from any candidates who do not have previous or substantial site management experience, but believe they have the potential to fulfil this role.

The Compton School is a mixed comprehensive school (1350 on roll including 300+ in the Sixth Form) and we are dedicated to academic achievement and very high standards.

The environment is fast-paced and would suit a ‘can do’ individual who is committed to our goal of ‘Excellence for All’.

No two days will be the same and there will be plenty of opportunity to contribute to the success of The Compton School and our Trust and make a real difference to students, staff and the wider school community.

The Compton School is a welcoming and supportive community. We value the professional autonomy of high-performing staff. We expect high standards from both staff and students. We are a diverse school community in terms of both staff and pupils and therefore welcome applications from anyone who supports our ethos.
