West Rainton Primary School are seeking an experienced and personable school business manager to join our fantastic team. The smooth-running of our school office and the administrations processes are pivotal to the success of our school day.
Key responsibilities include the day-to-day management of all aspects of school administration, financial systems and management of supervisory/premises staff amongst other duties. See job description and person spec documents for full details.
The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
- Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
- Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
- Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:
Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
