Site Manager

Abbey Road Primary is a thriving and successful suburban school. Staff and governors are highly ambitious for the school’s long-term success and work hard together to create an exciting environment where pupils’ personal, emotional and academic needs are met.

We are seeking a friendly and energetic Site Manager, who is both diligent and proactive. As the Site Manager, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of our primary school premises.
