This is an exceptional opportunity for a suitably qualified and talented individual to help provide an inspiring learning environment in the schools within the Bosco Catholic Education Trust, whilst also having a positive impact on new schools as they join in the coming years.

At present there are 11 schools in the Trust, with a further 2 about to join; eventually becoming a family of 33 schools in the fullness of time. It is imperative therefore that you need to grow with the role, demonstrating an ability to lead well and have a good strategic oversight, whilst still being willing to roll up your sleeves! This is a full-time post, based at the Trust offices at St Paul’s in Burgess Hill, although you will spend much of your time visiting schools in the Trust, supporting school leaders and overseeing capital projects across the estate.

You will certainly need great interpersonal skills, be a problem solver, have a creative mindset and a ’can do’ attitude! The Trust receives a capital allocation each year and need it to go as far as possible to ensure the school estate is fit for purpose, aid excellence in learning and teaching and help generate revenue streams for each school. You would work alongside the Head of Health & Safety and with outside specialists where needed such as architects and surveyors.

The Trust is blessed with a great central team and Trust Board. You will be part of the Central Team working closely with the Head of Health & Safety and line-managed by our CFO.

The schools in Bosco CET are all vibrant, diverse and welcoming communities. They share a common ethos and expectation; setting high standards and never settling for second-best. Your role as Head of Estates is crucial in helping these schools and the Trust to realise their potential.
