    By nature, you will be calm and professional under all circumstances, with strong problem-solving skills. The role of a School Business Manager in a primary school is diverse and challenging with never a dull moment, but above all, is extremely rewarding. Importantly, the business function of the school enables education professionals to focus on teaching and learning for the benefit of all children. Whether you already have a background or training in business management or ready to progress to the next step in your career, we would like to hear from you. This is an ideal opportunity to further establish skills and experience in a larger than average primary school where you will be fully supported in your professional development. You will already have:
  • Experience of managing budgets, supporting premises management, HR and administrative management

  • Effective organizational skills with an eye for detail

  • The ability to work both independently and collaboratively

  • An understanding and commitment to value for money and resource management

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

  • An appreciation of school improvement as a core purpose of the school

  • The ability to reflect and adapt the role to meet the needs of a changing educational landscape

  • Resilience and determination to succeed within a lively school environment.
