We're working with an Academy Trust in South Yorkshire that is looking for an experienced School Business Manager to join them on a temporary basis for an initial 3-6 month period. This is a great opportunity for someone who can step into a busy school environment and provide steady operational leadership from day one.

  • Overseeing recruitment and onboarding processes, including DBS checks, payroll input and induction arrangements.
  • Taking the lead on Health & Safety, completing risk assessments, monitoring compliance and working with contractors to maintain safe premises.
  • Managing core finance operations such as budgeting support, monitoring income/expenditure, handling supplier queries and banking school funds.
  • Supporting SLT with behaviour monitoring, attendance processes and safeguarding-related admin.
  • Reviewing and implementing school policies, including Mental Health & Wellbeing initiatives, ensuring these meet statutory requirements.
  • Coordinating communication with staff, governors, parents and external partners to support smooth day-to-day operations.
  • Maintaining key systems including PSF, Bromcom, SIMS, CPOMS and Microsoft Office.
  • Organising school events, staff training sessions and operational projects that contribute to positive outcomes for pupils and staff.

What we're looking for:

  • Previous School Business Manager experience within a school or Multi-Academy Trust.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a varied workload.
  • Confident communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships across the school and trust.
  • Someone proactive and solutions-focused who can hit the ground running.

If you're available immediately or available on short notice period, feel free to get in touch, and I'd be happy to discuss the next steps.
