What is the job role?
The Headteacher and Governors are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and forward-thinking professional to join our School as the School’s Business Manager.
This is a key role in our School and you will need to have a proven track record leading a number of school teams.
Key Duties include:
· Managing the School’s finances
· Overseeing management of the premises
· Lead on Health and Safety
· Lead HR practice and policy
In addition, you will lead a team of non-teaching support staff, acting as the Line Manager for the Office team and the School’s Site Services Manager.
There will be a requirement for you to attend occasional evening meetings, for which either payment or time off in lieu will be made.
You will work 30 hours per week but start and finish times can be negotiated. The post is term-time only, plus 5 Teacher Days and a further 1 week during school closure periods. This is likely to be at the end of the summer holidays.
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed – please contact our School office to arrange this. Alternatively, we are happy to organise a telephone conversation with the Headteacher if this would be preferred.
Grange Farm is committed to safeguarding our children and all appointments will be subject to satisfactory references and appropriate checks.
Please note that this is a term time only role and annual leave is not permitted to be taken during the working weeks of this role.
Who are we looking for?
Our workforce data shows that men and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are under-represented, we encourage applicants from these backgrounds to apply. This does not prevent individuals with or without other protected characteristics as set out within the Equality Act from applying for this post.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced criminal record check via the DBS, all relevant safeguarding and pre-employment clearances, and the receipt of two satisfactory references.
