Business Manager job summary

36.66 hours per week / full year

We want to appoint a Business Manager to lead support services at the Blue Coat School, which is an outstanding and vibrant high achieving hugely oversubscribed 11-18 co-educational Church of England school. Blue Coat is one of three schools in the Cranmer Education Trust, a mature school trust founded in 2015.

The Business Manager is a new post and the role is strategic, varied and demanding. You will work closely with the Headteacher, as well as the executive leadership team of the Cranmer Education Trust, to lead and support Blue Coat in its next stage of development and ensure that the operations, improvement and development of Blue Coat are aligned across the organisation, particularly in relation to support services.

In the next three years The Cranmer Education Trust will open a new secondary free school in Oldham, and in the early years of the school, the Business Manager will lead and develop the business team for the new school.

The person we are looking for is an enabler, an integral part of the school’s senior leadership and the eyes, ears and lever of the school. The Business Manager will be a very visible member of the Senior Leadership Team, who is accessible, a good communicator, who models the values of the school and the Trust, and who is respected.

The specialist background of the person we appoint is less important than the ability to work across the services, and to get to grips quickly with the brief, to get people working well and effectively, and above all to be pro-active to ensure that the quality of the business service is always improving because it understands and pre-empts the needs of the school.

We offer:

Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust
LGPS career average pension scheme including life insurance and dependent's pension
Generous sick pay scheme, increasing with length of service
Employee assistance programme
The opportunity to work for a values-based employer

We are very proud of our school, which attracts students from across Greater Manchester and beyond. It first opened in 1834. Our founder, Thomas Henshaw, was a committed Anglican who left a bequest to fund a school which would provide education for the orphaned boys of the parish.

From these humble beginnings, the Blue Coat School has become one of the biggest and most successful schools in the country. The school has a national reputation for high quality teaching and learning, pastoral care, consistently excellent examination results and outstanding progress. Our most recent OFSTED inspection in 2011/2 judged the school to be outstanding in every category. As a result, Blue Coat has been designated a National Teaching School which means that we work with schools nationally and locally to develop the very best educational provision. Blue Coat is grounded in tradition and history, and is evolving and forward looking. Our historic campus has been restored and developed extensively; our students enjoy picnic lunches in front of a Grade II listed building but their learning takes place in superb 21st century classrooms, laboratories and studios.

Blue Coat is dedicated to serving young people, to enable them to become everything they can be and everything that they are meant to be. We are a Church of England school that welcomes members of other Christian denominations, and of other faiths.

Our Anglican beliefs, values and worship are at the core of our life together in school.
