Haileybury is an outstanding British independent co-educational boarding school, offering modern boarding and day provision for 875 boys and girls aged 11-18. Established in 1862, we are situated on a glorious and historic 500-acre campus in Hertfordshire, just 20 miles north of London.
The Head of Maintenance is a senior member of the College staff with expertise and proven commercial experience at senior management level in running and maintaining effectively and efficiently key operational functions and facilities.

To do this successfully, you will provide effective management skills and commercial awareness at both strategic and operational level and will ensure that you are fully aware of developments within the allocated areas of responsibility, including local competitors and other Independent schools.
The nature of a 24hr a day, 7 days per week boarding school requires staff to work flexibly. The College buildings and grounds are used by pupils at weekends which are also the time most parents visit the School. As a result, in addition to these core working hours, the job holder will be required to work reasonable additional hours as are necessary for the proper performance of their role. This will include working early mornings, evenings and weekends.
