We are seeking a reliable, proactive, and multi-skilled School Site Manager to take ownership of the safety, security, and day-to-day operation of a secondary school campus in Potters Bar.

This is a vital, hands-on role within the school community, ideal for an experienced caretaker or facilities professional who takes pride in maintaining an exceptional environment for students and staff.
