Job Description

Children, Education and Justice Services

Business Manager (Secondary)

Craigmount High School

Salary: £ £50,550 (pro-rata for part time)
Hours: 18 per week, 52 weeks

We are looking to appoint a highly skilled, motivated and experienced Business Manager to our Senior Leadership Team. While previous experience in a school setting is not essential, skills and experience of managing finance, budgets, health and safety and people through HR processes are key.

The role of School Business Manager is crucial to the effective organisation and delivery of support services. The successful candidate will work closely with the headteacher and will be responsible for the development, implementation and monitoring of effective services including finance, human resources, health and safety, facilities management and administration.

Please refer to the Business Manager Job Profile for a full description of duties and responsibilities. The successful candidate will line manage all support staff, which includes the administration team, school and pupil support assistants, pupil support officers and technicians.

Craigmount High School is a six-year non-denominational school located in the north-west Edinburgh providing secondary education for around 1,350 pupils. The school opened in the current site in 2003 and our associated primary schools are Corstorphine, East Craigs, Fox Covert, Hillwood and Roseburn with whom we have excellent working relationships.

The school has a complement of around 90 FTE teaching staff and a highly dedicated team of over 25 support staff. Our Senior Leadership Team (SLT), led by our headteacher (Colin Meikle), currently comprises 4 depute headteachers and a business manager. The depute headteachers and business manager all have a range of strategic, curricular and organisational duties in support of our core business of learning and teaching and personal support for pupils.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team at Craigmount, you will be expected to exercise a style which reflects the school's aims and values, promotes a positive ethos and develops the work of the school appropriately.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Requirements

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
