School Business Manager job summary

With a new Headteacher appointed in September 2024, this is an important time in our development and the School Business Manager will play a pivotal role in working as part of the leadership team to raise standards across all aspects of school life. As School Business Manager, you will lead the school's operational side, including budget management, HR processes, site maintenance, and health and safety.

The successful candidate must work well in a team and have experience of working in a school or similar environment. Desirable experience includes knowledge of finance management. This role is 32.5 hours per week with flexibility on the working pattern (to be agreed). You will work term time plus inset days plus 1 week in the school closure periods.

At Charlbury School, our children are at the heart of every decision we make. Our goal is for them to feel safe and valued, enabling them to thrive. We prepare our children to become socially conscious, morally driven and academically successful individuals who are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.

OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.

OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.

OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.

Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.

This role includes regulated activity relevant to children.

Please note that the school reserves the right to consider and interview candidates ahead of the closing date if appropriate. An offer may be made to an exceptional candidate in this instance.

If you would like to have a confidential conversation with Kate Robertson Headteacher, about the role, prior to application, then please email office@charlburyschool.org
