Business Manager job summary
We are seeking to appoint three Business Managers, who will each take responsibility for a cluster of junior academies. They will work closely with principals, finance/admin and central team colleagues to ensure each academy’s business functions and day-to-day operations run efficiently and effectively.
The post-holder will be the business manager for their three academies, and will be closely supported by the dedicated finance/administration officer in each academy. They will manage all aspects of the academy’s operations, working closely with the principal and the trust’s central team colleagues to co-ordinate all areas of expertise to obtain the best outcomes for the academy. They will have oversight of administration, finance, HR, estates and health and safety in their academies, supporting the principal in ensuring compliance and effectiveness in all areas.
‘School Business Manager’ qualifications would be advantageous but are not essential; funding is available for the right candidate if they wish to undertake the qualifications whilst in this role.
It is likely that each business manager will be responsible for three junior academies and to be successful in the role, will need to spend part of their working week in each. It is intended that preferred academies will be discussed at interview, to ensure the clusters are grouped together in a way that is both efficient and equitable.
If you would like an informal discussion about the role before applying, please email paula.corbett@astoncetrust.org or gemma.shore@astoncetrust.org to arrange.
Safeguarding
ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the ‘policy’ section of our academy websites.
It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from working with children. This post will involve regular contact with children, and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act. Any information that is “protected” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared. Guidance on this can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974
Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Additional checks in relation to the Childcare Disqualification Regulations will be undertaken for successful candidates to junior academies. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.
Equality
ACET is committed to ensuring equality of opportunity throughout the recruitment process. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and your application will be assessed purely on your ability to do the job.
We undertake to make any ‘reasonable adjustments’ to a job or workplace to counteract any disadvantages a disabled person may face. Where required, we will make reasonable adjustments to the selection process for an applicant with a disability.
