SCHOOL BUSINESS MANAGER

We are looking for a School Business Manager to play a key role in the leadership of the school. Reporting to the Headteacher and CFO, you will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the school’s administration, HR, finance, premises, and compliance.

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive, and passionate professional who:
· Has experience in financial and business management (ideally in a school setting).
· Knowledge/experience of VAT, credit control and accounts payable.
· HR/Payroll management knowledge/experience.
· Is confident in managing resources, and compliance
· Has excellent leadership and communication skills and is able to develop business growth.
· Is a “hands on” team player who thrives in a collaborative and caring environment.

The role is full-time for 39 weeks of the year in school plus work in the school holidays as necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of holiday projects, finance and enquiry management.
