About The Role
The Governors of Fir Ends Primary school invite applications for this important and diverse role as part of the senior leadership team within our school. 

The School Business Manager has a central role in supporting and reporting to the Headteacher and governing body to effectively manage the school and its estate. This involves working pro-actively across diverse areas including administration, finance, line management, human resources, payroll, premises management and health & safety. The role also includes delivering a positive front-of-house experience to school visitors, managing administrative and operational work and responding to email and telephone communications from parents, suppliers and other stakeholders. Working within a school environment also means that post-holders may be called upon to administer basic first-aid, package up lost teeth for the tooth fairy, supervise playtimes or accompany school trips; it’s unlike any other office job!

The role and procedures associated with it have been developed over recent years by previous postholders, and it is anticipated that this development will be ongoing.

It is currently supported by a part-time office administrator, working nine hours per week, and there are active school business manager communities in the local cluster and County, which post-holders are encouraged to engage with to access peer support.

Full details of the role and its requirements can be found in the application pack. 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 20 June 2025 and it is anticipated that interviews will be held in week commencing 7 July 2025 with the headteacher and representatives of the governing body.

An application pack can be requested by:
• visiting the school website: www.fir-ends.cumbria.sch.uk/vacancies.
