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!

Although prior experience of school operations and financial management would be preferred, it is not essential as these can be learned; we invite applications from candidates who demonstrate an appropriate skillset and a commitment to developing a thorough understanding of school specific aspects of the role through additional training as appropriate.

The post is open to those who already hold a relevant level-4 qualification and those who would like to attain it through an apprenticeship route. 

Trainees will be initially employed as BS6 or BS7, depending on previous experience and qualifications. Candidates who already hold an appropriate level 4 qualification and experience will be employed at BS8.

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.
• emailing head@fir-ends.cumbria.sch.uk;
• calling the school on 01228 675283
