School Business Manager

The Governors of Saint Jérôme Church of England Bilingual School are looking to appoint a highly motivated, effective and compassionate leader as School Business Manager to lead the business functions of our busy school. We are seeking an experienced individual with strong financial skills who is passionate about building on our past successes, can work under pressure and efficiently support the headteacher and the wider Senior Leadership Team.

This school is a single academy trust which opened in 2016, when the current incumbent worked with other founding staff to develop our highly successful school. As a Church of England, bilingual (French) school, applicants will be expected to support our ethos. A French speaker is desirable but not essential. The successful candidate will need to be in post by 1st September 2026 and be available for a full handover during the summer holidays.

The school Business manager (SBM) is responsible for managing the strategy and operation of the business functions of our school, including financial management, health and safety, human resources, compliance and administration.

They will advise on and implement the day-to-day support that enables the school to operate effectively and efficiently, and that allows other members of the leadership team to focus on teaching and learning.
