Pinner, London

School Business Manager

£55,000

EduExec Recruitment is working with a welcoming, community-focused school in North West London to recruit a School Business Manager who will sit within the senior leadership team. This is a school that sees the role as central to how it operates and is looking for someone who wants that level of involvement rather than a purely administrative brief. Reporting to the Headteacher, the successful candidate will take ownership of the school's operations across finance, HR, premises and administration, with real scope to shape how things are done rather than simply maintain what's already in place. The role carries both the day-to-day demands you'd expect and will have a key input to medium and long-term planning

Director of IT

£55,000 - £60,000

EduExec Recruitment is working with a high-performing school in London to recruit an IT Director. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly into the school's leadership team, with management responsibility across a team spanning data, technology, admissions and registry. The role combines strategic oversight with operational management, from shaping the school's approach to digital transformation and emerging technologies through to ensuring the integrity of data, systems and reporting that underpin day-to-day school life. This is a broad opportunity that requires someone equally comfortable influencing at senior level and getting into the detail of how information flows across a complex organisation.

Why your next School Business Manager probably won’t apply

Why your next School Business Manager probably won’t apply

A pattern we see time and again with school support recruitment is that its rarely the number of applications thats the issue, but the relevancy of those application that is.  The strongest School Business Managers, Finance leads and Operations professionals are typically already in post, busy, visible and valued, not spending their evenings scrolling job boards. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t move, but it does mean they’re unlikely to come across your role in the usual way.
