Director of Estates

The Director of Estates is responsible for the effective operational delivery, maintenance, and development of the School's diverse estate and related support services, ensuring a safe, compliant, and high-quality environment. The School's estate includes a combination of listed and heritage buildings alongside modern, state-of-the-art facilities, requiring a balanced and informed approach to preservation, compliance, and development. This is a delivery-focused role, ensuring that day-to-day school operations run smoothly and are effectively supported, while also enabling successful commercial activities including: lettings, catering, and events. The postholder will balance the needs of a busy boarding school with opportunities to maximise the use and value of the estate. Working closely with the COO, the role combines hands-on operational leadership with strategic planning, ensuring the estate and services are sustainable, efficient, and aligned with the School's long-term objectives.
