Further Information
Biddick Academy is part of the North East Learning Trust and is seeking to appoint a Facilities Manager to join our team.

At Biddick Academy we find and nurture the brilliance in every student through a well-balanced and broad curriculum. Everything that we do aims to develop curiosity, build resilience, readiness, and aspiration in our students. Each year we work to build on the high standards and reputation we have achieved over many years as we prepare students to embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead of them.

Our PPM activities are organised and managed with the help of a CAFM system (Every) which enables real time monitoring at both school and trust level. We also use this system to hold details of our contracts and to record and manage our assets. You’ll need to be confident in your capability using IT systems to succeed in this role.

You won’t be on your own…! Our schools are also supported by the trust’s central estates service including senior facilities managers, a specialist mechanical and electrical engineer and mobile FM technicians providing advice, technical and practical assistance.

It’s an exciting time…! We are working hard to adapt our buildings and how we use them, targeting reductions in energy usage and the production of waste to meet challenging environmental and sustainability targets. We also offer our school facilities including 3G and Grass football pitches to local community groups. Our relationship with our local community is very important to us.

As part of the wider Facilities Management team, you will be required to cover at other school sites and work out of hours, which could include evenings and weekends as and when required to attend to any facilities management activity. You will be reimbursed for any additional travel and receive appropriate remuneration for any additional hours worked.

This appointment will be based in Biddick Academy where we have an exciting opportunity for you to join a school that has undergone real change and is on a strong, upward trajectory.

Our vision, along with all schools in the Trust, is that every child experiences excellence every day.
