This Opportunity

As a School Resource Business Partner, you will be managed by the Central Trust team and provide strategic oversight, professional leadership and operational support across a group of schools. You will work closely with Headteachers, School Resource Managers and the central team to advise and support on all aspects of business services. Successful applicants will play a central role in bringing genuine added value to the way our schools operate.

You will lead the implementation of consistent processes and high standards across schools, build capacity and resilience by coaching and developing school-based teams, and provide hands-on operational support during periods of transition, absence or increased demand. The role will also contribute to strategic planning and the continuous improvement of business services across the Trust.

Post holders will have a designated base. Travel across schools will be required, and expenses are claimable from the base location.

We are looking for confident, proactive, strengths-based and solution-focused professionals with significant experience in business management roles. You will bring strong knowledge of operational compliance, excellent communication and problem-solving skills, and the ability to build effective relationships at all levels. A collaborative approach and a commitment to our Trust values are essential, along with a passion for supporting high-quality education for all pupils.

In return, we can offer a supportive and forward-thinking employer with a clear vision and values, opportunities for professional development and career progression, and a collaborative and dynamic working environment. This is a role where your expertise will make a real difference to our schools and the communities we serve.
