Ideally the successful applicants will possess breadth and depth of experience in finance along with relevant finance / accounting or School Business Manager qualifications. High quality, transferable skills from a business environment or previous experience of the academy sector would be advantageous.
The successful candidates will:
- Work within the school leadership team, providing specialist advice and guidance to its members on finance and budget planning/reporting
- Work as part of a team on human resources, premises, facilities and project management.
- Line manage the school’s office, catering and site staff.
- Oversee income generation (including lettings, wrap-around childcare and grant applications).

- Possess finely honed communication and interpersonal skills and know how to use them to effectively reach different audiences.
