School Business Manager

Closing Date: 29 Sep 2019 (Vacancy Closed)

Salary: Grade 11 (£40,760 - £45,591) Full Time 52/52

Required for 1st November 2019 (or as soon as possible thereafter)

 John Spence is a popular and successful school serving students from the North Shields area of North Tyneside.  Rated as ‘Good’ by OFSTED we are proud of our reputation as an inclusive and caring school.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced leader to join our senior leadership team. The successful candidate will have experience of leading teams of staff and will have worked effectively at an operational and strategic level in business management.

The school is in a strong, stable financial position following years of careful planning throughout a turbulent period in education funding. Staffing is also stable and wellbeing is central to our planning alongside quality opportunities for professional development.

Applicants should have a strong business management background, ideally within an education setting. The core responsibilities of the post are to provide leadership and management of Finance, Human Resources, Governance, Estate Management, Health and Safety and ICT infrastructure.

This is an exciting time to join a relatively new senior team and drive the school forward to even greater successes in the future. As a senior leader you will be expected to be part of school life and will certainly not be desk bound. Please contact Emma Rutter, the Headteacher’s PA, if you would like any further details about the post or to arrange a visit.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and an enhanced DBS will be required for this post.

Closing date: Monday 30th September at 10am.

Application forms and further details can be downloaded via the school website. www.johnspence.org.uk

Completed application forms along with a covering letter demonstrating how you meet the person specification should be sent to the Headteacher’s PA via email. [email protected]

Shortlisting will take place on 02/10/19 and interviews will be held on 08/10/19
