Manchester, United Kingdom Burnage Academy for Boys Full time

About Us

Burnage Academy for Boys is an outstanding, high-achieving Single Academy Trust where our pupils come first and thrive through our values of resilience, independence, and care. Established in 1932, with the Academy having formed in 2014, we have approximately 980 pupils on roll and our mission is to ensure boys become the best they can be.

The Role

We are seeking a new Director of Operations to lead the operational functions of our stand-alone academy trust. Reporting directly to the Headteacher/CEO, you will be responsible for the robust management of key non-academic operations including finance, HR, estates, health & safety, and compliance. This is a strategic leadership position that requires a flexible and innovative approach to supporting our educational objectives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and oversee the operational functions of the academy trust
  • Lead the finance, HR, estates, health & safety, and compliance teams
  • Develop and implement strategic plans to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness
  • Ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations
  • Provide leadership and guidance to staff to achieve operational objectives

Requirements

We are looking for someone who shares our passion for securing brilliant outcomes for children and young people, regardless of background or ability. You will bring an entrepreneurial outlook, a flair for empowering others to give their absolute best, and a modern, business-like approach to the leadership of the academy's business functions. A formal accountancy qualification is not essential, but you should have some senior financial management experience.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary and a chance to make a real difference in the lives of our pupils. If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding role where you can use your skills and experience to drive operational excellence, we encourage you to apply.
