School Business Manager job summary
Rose Hill Primary School is looking for an ambitious, dedicated and skilled School Business Manager to join the Leadership Team of the school. The school is on an exciting journey of improvement and offers plenty of room for professional development and growth. A new Headteacher started at the school in November 2024 and the leadership team are working closely together to drive up standards in all areas of school life. The School Business Manager will play a key role in leading the operational side of the school and ensuring the smooth running of the budget, HR processes, site and health and safety management.
Our school offers significant rewards but also challenges, and in recognition of this there is a recruitment payment of £4,000 offered to the successful candidate (with half paid after three months in post, and half paid after six months).
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of excellent strategic budget management and line management of operational colleagues. They must work well in a team and have experience of working in a school. Desirable experience includes knowledge of HR practices and procedures and overseeing health and safety practices.
This role is 30 hours per week with flexibility on the working pattern (to be agreed). You will work term time plus inset days plus 3 weeks (15 days per academic year) in the closure periods with one week at the end of the summer in preparation for the new academic year.
Rose Hill Primary School is a really special place. It serves the community of Rose Hill in East Oxford, which is brilliantly diverse. Our school is inclusive and everybody is welcome here. Our school has a higher-than-average level of disadvantaged pupils and so we believe that our team of colleagues must be made up of the very best in all areas. We know that sometimes the school context presents challenges, but everybody here is valued for the work that they do and the contribution they make. We work closely with the River Learning Trust so that everybody can feel supported, and so that everybody has access to high-quality professional development opportunities.
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.
