WELCOME TO WORTH SCHOOL
DEAR CANDIDATE,
We are delighted that you have shown an interest in this new role which is being set up at a pivotal moment for our organisation. Worth is a unique place that provides first-rate education alongside 1500 years of Benedictine tradition. Our values provide a firm foundation for all we do at Worth, humility, silence, worship, community, stewardship and service. The Worth Abbey estate is spread over 500 acres of beautiful Sussex countryside and is varied in its architectural and operational uses. It includes listed 19th century buildings which are now used as boarding houses and reception rooms, a 20th century listed church building and our newest building, a £6.25m Sixth Form Centre and Library. It also consists of school buildings, religious buildings, farm buildings and domestic buildings while the grounds include ornamental lawns, a small golf course, woodland and extensive playing fields. Reporting to the Estates Bursar, you will manage the maintenance team and contractors to manage proactive maintenance works are carried out on time and in budget as well as ensuring a high level of compliance is adhered to. You will also be expected to work with the Estates Bursar with developing and implementing the estates strategy and daily services of the site. This is a hugely exciting time to be joining Worth; the school has recently had a £50m masterplan largely approved by the local planners and is now moving into delivering some capital projects. The Abbey is working to develop its masterplan. We are committed to sustainability at Worth and have recently implemented a £2.3m biomass energy centre for our heating and hot water and are looking to develop our electricity generation options on site, in addition you will play an active role in supporting the sustainability agenda. To succeed you will need to be a focused and driven Hard FM Manager, who has the ability to work within a high foot fall environment and able to work flexibly with the Monastic community, non-executive governors and advisers, and the school leadership team.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Worth School.
