We are looking to appoint a School Business Manager from 26th March 2025:

• 37 hours per week – Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm
• NJC Grade I, scale point 22 to 26 (£32,654-£36.124 FTE)
• Permanent Contract for 42 weeks per year (term time and training days plus 3 weeks)
• Start Date: ideally 26th March 2025

The successful candidate will be self motivated but a team player at heart, able to see the value to the children in all they do. They will have excellent communication, financial and analytical skills, and will work closely with the Head Teacher and with the office and premises staff. The key purpose of the role is to ensure the smooth operation of the Financial, Facilities, Marketing, Health and Safety, and HR/Payroll aspects of the school. The SBM is a member of the school’s Senior Management Team and is an associate member of the Governing Body, providing support and advice as required.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced colleagues already in an SBM post (you will find that the role is subtly different in a maintained nursery compared to a primary setting) or for an aspiring School Business Manager with experience of working in a busy school office.

We recommend that prospective candidates visit the school to experience what a unique setting this is. If you wish to organise a visit or for further information please contact the school office on 01536-514240 or email bursar@ronaldtreenursery.co.uk
