School Business Officer

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated School Business Officer to work alongside the current SBO, and Senior Leadership Team, to manage a busy office in a school with over 350 children.

The role is varied but the successful candidate will primarily have responsibility for Data Protection, Policies, and Management Information Systems (Arbor). The role will also include being the Clerk to the Governors, so working in the evening, usually 6 times a year, will be required (usually from 6pm to 8pm on a Tuesday).

We are a large, happy and vibrant primary school, located in Buxton, Derbyshire, with our own Nursery on site. Our families are supportive and we have strong links with the wider community.

Visits to school are welcomed. To arrange a visit, or if you would like to know any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact the school on 01298 23261.

Start date: Mid March 2026 to allow for training before the current SBO goes on maternity leave.

Provisional Interview Date: Week commencing 23 February 2026
