Thank you very much for your interest in the business manager role at Christ the King. We hope that this position offers a great opportunity for office or finance assistants currently in a school, or those wishing to come into education from industry or business.

Our school has successfully developed and operated under the leadership of a single executive leadership team for the last ten years, working in a unique and truly special partnership with St Cuthbert’s. We have held a strong connection over this time as a “family of two schools living and learning in faith”.

As the Trust has grown, the Directors and the Diocese now believe that each school would benefit from its own dedicated head and deputy. As the Executive Headteacher, I will return to CTK in September 2026 and will be supported by a newly appointed Deputy Headteacher, while St Cuthbert's will appoint its own Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. This represents an important development and opportunity for both of our schools.

The role involves admin support (processing and managing the recording of staff absence, dealing with recruitment and retention, supporting confidential governor meeting preparation, maintaining the school’s single central record) alongside line managing office and site staff whilst undertaking the finance administration. Of course there would be some operational tasks too such as welcoming parents and pupils into the school in the morning, taking phone calls about absence and sharing confidential messages with staff.

The role is a significant one and we believe will make a huge difference to the lives of our staff and pupils. The successful candidate would work incredibly closely with the senior leadership team as well as receiving support and guidance from our trust central team. The trust has appointed similar roles in the past and recommended this structure for our schools.

We use a variety of systems such as Bromcom for MIS and parental communication, Edupay for Human Resources and payroll in addition to Access for Finance transactional processes and budgeting. Our parents use an application called “My child at school” (MCAS) to pay for services we provide. These systems would be used to support the candidate’s role in co-ordinating our admissions policy and streamlining our induction processes and parental billing.
