Salary: £62,909 – £72,748 per year

An experienced Business Manager is sought by this vibrant and well-established multi-academy trust with schools across southeast London and Kent. This is a key appointment working at one of the prime secondary schools in south east London. You will be part of the senior leadership team and the main point of contact for all stakeholders across the Academy.

The Business Manager will be responsible for the strategic management of all non-academic operations of the Academy, leading on all aspects of finance, HR, facilities and premises, administration, health and safety and IT, with five direct reports.

Reporting to the Executive Principal, the postholder will assist with the creation of the budget and ensure delivery following procurement policies and procedures to ensure value for money. The role will include overseeing training and personal development for all non-education support staff, together with line management of the HR Administrator to ensure HR best practice is adhered to.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience of leading and managing people in multi-disciplinary teams, ideally within a school environment. A practical knowledge of business planning and organisational management will be critical, together with effective budget management. To succeed in this role, you will manage multiple workstreams successfully and efficiently whilst maintaining a calm and professional manner and have full control at an operational level.

The successful candidate will be educated to degree level or equivalent, or holds a qualification in School Business Management (ISBL).

This is a demanding role and requires a pragmatic approach, an individual who is ‘on point’ with detail, who can support the operational function, managing upwards effectively. Competent use of MS Office applications is essential.

If you thrive in a multi disciplinary function and are a natural team leader seeking recognition and development in a leadership role, then please apply.
