Interim Facilities Supervisor across two schools in Sheffield.

Your new company

We are seeking a proactive and reliable Facilities Supervisor to oversee site operations across two secondary schools in Sheffield. This is a hands-on role for someone who is not afraid to get involved in day-to-day maintenance tasks, while also confidently supervising site staff, contractors, and delegating work effectively.
The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring both school sites are safe, compliant, well-maintained, and fully operational to support teaching and learning.

Your new role

This interim Facilities Supervisor job will have the following responsibilities:
  • Supervise and coordinate facilities and site staff across both schools.
  • Carry out and oversee planned and reactive maintenance tasks
  • Ensure statutory and compliance checks are completed and recorded, including (but not limited to):
    • Health & Safety inspections
    • Fire safety checks
    • Water hygiene and asbestos awareness
  • Act as a keyholder and respond to site issues as required
  • Manage contractors on site and ensure work is completed safely and to standard
  • Delegate tasks effectively and monitor workloads
  • Maintain accurate records of maintenance, compliance, and inspections
  • Support school events, lettings, and occasional out-of-hours activities
  • Promote a strong health and safety culture across both sites

What you'll need to succeed

We are looking for someone who:
  • Has experience in facilities, premises, or site supervision (ideally within a school or similar environment)
  • Is practical, hands-on, and confident in carrying out maintenance tasks.
  • Has a good understanding of compliance, health & safety, and safeguarding requirements
  • Can lead, supervise, and motivate site staff
  • Is organised, reliable, and able to manage priorities across two sites.
  • Has good communication skills and can work positively with staff, students, and contractors
This job is a temporary position in the first instance. We will need to be able to obtain references to cover the last 2 years as a minimum, and you will need to be willing to undergo a DBS check if you don't already have a DBS on the update service. You will be required to hold 5 or more GCSEs, inclusive of Maths and English for this role at grade 4 or above.
