Davenies Prep School is seeking an exceptional Facilities Manager to play a pivotal role to ensure that buildings, grounds, and services actively support the life and work of the whole community. This is far more than a maintenance role: it is a leadership position at the heart of the school, combining strategic oversight with a strong service ethos. The successful candidate will understand the hospitality nature of the environment, treating staff and pupils as valued clients, and creating safe, welcoming, and high-performing spaces in which children can thrive. With a thorough knowledge of health and safety requirements, the ability to manage contractors and compliance, lead and motivate a dedicated team, control budgets, and plan and deliver a multi-year maintenance strategy, you will ensure that the school’s estate is both impeccably maintained today and sustainably developed for the future.
To apply for this position, please submit a Davenies’ Support staff Application Form with a cover letter for the attention of the HR Manager by Tuesday 31st March 2026. Applications should be sent via email to Ms Joanne Cook, HR Manager (hrmanager@davenies.co.uk). Interviews will take place w/c 13 April 2026.
