We are looking for a dynamic and experienced School Business Manager to join our Senior Leadership Team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our school. This is far more than a traditional business management role. You'll be at the heart of school operations, leading multiple support functions and ensuring our children and young people have a safe, inspiring and well-managed environment where they can thrive. The role has responsibility across finance, HR, administration, facilities, ICT, health & safety, catering and housekeeping, making it ideal for a strategic leader who enjoys variety, challenge and impact.
What you'll be doing
- Lead and develop a range of support service teams to deliver outstanding operational performance.
- Manage budgets and financial resources, ensuring strong financial control and value for money.
- Oversee HR processes, recruitment, onboarding and compliance, including safeguarding and the Single Central Record.
- Drive continuous improvement across administration, systems and operational processes.
- Take responsibility for facilities, health & safety, data protection and business compliance.
- Contribute to the strategic direction of the school and support the delivery of its long-term objectives.
Who we're looking for
We're seeking a confident and proactive leader who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on operational management. You'll be an excellent communicator, able to build strong relationships with staff, parents, external agencies and central support teams.
You will bring:
- Experience leading multiple teams and functions.
- Strong financial and budget management skills.
- The ability to influence, problem-solve and make informed decisions.
- Excellent organisational and communication skills.
- A commitment to high standards, continuous improvement and safeguarding.
- A management or professional qualification in a relevant area such as business management or finance (desirable).
