My client is a single academy in North West London, looking to recruit an experienced School Business Manager to join its senior leadership team. The role has arisen through a reorganisation, which means there is genuine scope for the right person to shape how the function operates. The Headteacher is innovative and collaborative and is looking for someone who will bring structure and confidence to the role rather than simply inherit it.
The school offers hybrid working flexibility throughout the year and a supportive structure with a very experienced support team and expertise to draw upon from above. The School Business Manager will take ownership of the school's operational and business functions, working closely with the Headteacher and governing body. The role carries real breadth, centering on the strategic financial management and day-to-day finance operations, but with wider involvement across HR and workforce planning, data, statutory compliance and risk and line management of a small team.
The successful candidate will be an experienced SBM who will enjoy the early freedom and responsibility the role offers. You will have a strong working knowledge of academy finance, including budget management and compliance with the Academy Trust Handbook, alongside practical experience of HR processes in schools. As important as technical knowledge is, the ability to review what is in place, identify where improvement is needed and act on it with confidence.
The role is offered as a term time plus a pre agreed number of holiday working weeks, with hybrid working options.
