What will I be doing?
The Business Manager plays a pivotal role in overseeing the financial, operational and administrative functions of the school. Working closely with Headteacher and other members of Senior Leadership Team, the Business Manager ensures the smooth running of day-to-day operations and contributions to the long-term strategic goals of the school.
Our greatest asset is our staff. We have 70 teachers and 100 members of support staff working at Bishop Fox’s School. The Business Manager manages a large and diverse team, including administrative, catering and site staff. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring a positive and productive working environment for both staff and students, while maintaining high standards of efficiency, compliance, and financial accountability.
The School Business Manager has oversight for the maintenance of the school buildings, grounds and facilities to maintain the best possible site and working environment for us all. We are very fortunate not only with our award-winning school site, but also the extensive 30 acres of grounds, including a range of sporting facilities. In 2020 we secured funding to expand on our original school with the building of a new theatre, teaching block, science labs, dining facilities as well as an improved outside spaces for our students to enjoy. In 2024-25 we were successful with a CIF bid to complete phase 1 of a roof replacement; we have also fitted PV panels on the roof of our new buildings to generate green energy and to reduce our energy costs.
