Advert

We are looking to recruit an outstanding candidate to the post of Finance and Business Manager to work in our hub in Leybourne and manage KHNES's finance systems across our 6 hub county wide educational provision, providing business related support. The successful candidate will report to, and work closely with, the Executive Head teacher to maintain the financial stability of this crucial KCC service. 

Along with all service finance aspects, the post holder will also lead the development of health and safety plans within the service and manage facilities and the service's site management staff. 

FMS experience is essential and experience of line management of staff is highly desirable. A level of experience of H&S systems would also be a distinct advantage. 

This role would ideally suit a creative finance professional with experience of educational systems and payroll processes. Although an experienced finance/business manager would thrive in this role, this post would also be a Launchpad for a creative and energetic finance officer in an educational setting that is looking for a challenge and to test their capacity alongside an experienced Executive Head teacher, and gain valuable experience. We are prepared to offer a competitive salary (to be finalised at interview) and a high degree of support (including from SFS professionals). Key attributes of the person that we are looking for are attention to detail, the ability to work to deadlines, under pressure at times and creatively when required.

This is a term time only contract plus two weeks to be worked in term holidays to coincide with month end dates in July and August and year end in April. The working hours are Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm equating to 37 hours per week.

Kent Range 8-10 (pro rata), dependent upon experience.

Information about the school

Our Vision Statement

Aim High, Be Kind, Aim High

We will celebrate and value the achievements and contributions of all members of the school community. All pupils and staff will be supported and challenged to make progress regardless of their starting point, culture, gender or ethnic group.

TRS is a school where we can learn and work together in harmony, free from harassment, prejudice and discrimination. Develop strong links and foster positive relationships with parents, carers and other members of the local community.

We have three core values that were chosen by our 2021/2022 pupils, parents and staff. We felt that these values were good character traits that the pupils at TRS and everyone else in our school community should aim to achieve to support wellbeing and good outcomes:

Confidence Acceptance Perseverance

At The Rosewood School we ask that pupils try their very best to overcome barriers, become confident learners, prepare for adult life and celebrate differences . We have hard working and committed staff who will support students to achieve their aspirations and prepare them for their next steps, whether that is reintegrating back to their home school, further education or employment.

It is crucial that our pupils develop core skills and knowledge to succeed in further education or employment, therefore English and Mathematics are a significant focus for the school to ensure pupils get to a level where they can succeed. Pupils will follow a curriculum that is engaging and enjoyable, as such the wider curriculum will help pupils develop as learners and prepare them for any barriers that adult life might bring.

We achieve this by:

Educating and supporting all pupils to learn

Creating a broad curriculum offer that supports the core subjects

Providing a safe, nurturing and supportive environment

Making sure all pupils have the skills to return to mainstream education or to access their next steps in learning

Working in partnership with others, especially Kent schools
