Keep operations running. Lead a hands-on team. Be part of something bigger.
We're looking for an experienced, proactive Estates Team Supervisor to take charge of day-to-day operational support within a dynamic and varied estate environment.

The Role:
As Estates Team Supervisor, you’ll be the go-to person for organising and delivering essential operational support — from maintenance and porterage, to event setup, equipment logistics, and day-to-day problem-solving across a historic and active estate. You’ll lead a team of Estates Technicians and work closely with the Estates Services Manager to keep everything running smoothly.
Your Key Responsibilities:
Oversee the daily activities of the Estates Technicians, ensuring reactive and planned tasks are prioritised effectively.
Assist with work planning and task allocation using the CAFM system and Helpdesk.
Support maintenance across the estate, including minor repairs, decorating, and compliance checks.
Coordinate porterage tasks, including furniture and equipment moves across academic, residential, and staff buildings.
Lead support for events and school functions (e.g. open days, sports events, exams).
Manage the delivery/collection of equipment and assist with general waste and recycling duties.
Carry out external tasks such as gritting, small road repairs, and site upkeep.
Ensure health & safety is maintained and report any issues promptly.
About You:
You’re a hands-on problem-solver with great organisational skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude. You take pride in your work and enjoy leading a team to get things done efficiently and to a high standard.
What You’ll Need:
Experience supervising or managing a team in an operational/estates environment
Strong practical skills (multi-trade background or facilities maintenance experience ideal)
Ability to work independently and confidently in a busy environment
Manual handling awareness
Good communication skills and a team-first approach
Competent IT skills (CAFM system experience a bonus)
Previous porterage or cleaning experience (desirable)
A full UK driving licence (preferred)*
