This is a school-based role, working closely with the Headteacher and senior leaders to provide expert guidance on finance, payroll, HR, estates, procurement, health and safety, GDPR, and business operations.

- Has experience in finance, HR, estates, office management, or school business operations.
- Has line management experience, with strong leadership skills to develop teams, drive improvements, and implement best practices.
- Is proactive, solution-focused, and committed to making a positive impact on school operations.
- Can work independently while also collaborating with Headteachers, governors, and the Trust central team.
