Head Of Grounds & Gardens

4 Days Old

Ready to step up, but nowhere to do it? You're probably already doing more than your job title suggests. Keeping standards high. Solving problems. Stepping in when things need direction. But you're not the one in charge. Role Overview This is a unique Head of Grounds & Gardens role, responsible for a 150-acre estate set around a stunning historic building. The site brings together sports pitches, parkland, gardens and woodland into one of the most distinctive prep school environments you'll come across. It's not just about maintaining it. It's about shaping a place that plays a real part in how children learn, develop and enjoy their time at school, because here, the environment genuinely matters. This is a working Head role. You'll lead the team, plan the work and raise standards, but you'll still be out there, hands-on. Not a desk job, and not a step away from the tools. The foundations are strong. There is an experienced Estates lead, a capable team and a well-kept site. What's missing is someone to take ownership day-to-day and move things forward. Responsibilities
Check pitch conditions ahead of fixtures in the morning. Operate machinery mid-day. Plan and oversee improvements across the estate in the afternoon. Oversee pitch preparation, introduce smarter ways of working, and bring more structure and direction to the team. Work around the rhythm of the day and be involved in daily car parking operations.
You won't be blocked from improving things. You'll be expected to. Qualifications
Solid grounds experience, sports pitches, machinery and turf care. The ability to lead from the front in a practical, no-nonsense way.
Benefits
Pension. Free meals during term time. Access to school facilities.
