A Business Manager role will usually undertake tasks that impact on the whole school. The role seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, finance or human resources.
Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice in matters relating to the school finance, human resources or school administration.

Willowmavin Primary School is seeking an enthusiastic and team-oriented Business Manager to join the Willowmavin staff in making our school the best it can be for its students, its staff and its community. Our school is located just six kilometres to the West of Kilmore, an hour North of Melbourne. The school's vision is to develop students to be the best they can be, to create a school environment where students are supported and challenged to achieve beyond any perceived potential by developing a growth mindset - an understanding that extra effort will lead to higher achievement.
Our Students
Our students are each individuals and we celebrate their diversity and uniqueness. One thing all of our students have in common, however, is that they are all members of the Willowmavin Primary School Community. Our students are the centre of what we do at Willowmavin. All decisions are based around one question: "Will this improve outcomes for our students?" We use student surveys and student leadership roles, such as our Junior School Council, to provide our students with a voice in their school and to ensure we have student-centred classrooms. Students are provided with strong wellbeing support, are immersed in learning programs based on the Victorian Curriculum, and are provided 21st Century learning tools to make learning accessible and engaging for every student.
Our Staff
Similar to our students, our staff come from different backgrounds and bring a diverse range of skills and talents to our school. And just like our students, our staff also have one thing in common - an immense dedication to the students and community of Willowmavin. Staff travel from near and far to be here and work in collaboration to achieve success for our students and our school. All staff are steadfast in their commitment to make Willowmavin Primary School the best it can be. Just as we seek to develop lifelong learners in our students, we also seek to develop a school staff that continue to learn to improve their practice. Our staff work as a Professional Learning Community, analysing student assessment data on an ongoing basis to evaluate and plan teaching and learning programs and ensure students are consistently receiving learning targeted at their point or need. Staff engage in regular professional learning to ensure their teaching is aligned to evidence based, best practice. Our staff are determined to work in partnership with our families and community in our continuous pursuit of achieving improved outcomes for the children in our care.
Our Curriculum
Our core priority is to provide students with opportunities to achieve outstanding Literacy and Numeracy outcomes. Daily one hour Reading, Writing and Mathematics lessons are provided for students with differentiation key to providing students with learning at their point of need. Our Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program supports students to be respectful citizens, capable of overcoming challenges and setbacks, and maintaining positive mental wellbeing. Specialist subjects include Visual Art, Digital Technologies, Italian and Health and Physical Education.
Our Families
Students achieve greater outcomes when schools work together with their families. At Willowmavin Primary School, we seek to not only build close relationships with our families, but also to build the capacity of our families to engage in their child's learning. We instil a sense of belonging in our families through providing multiple mediums in which our families can contribute to our school. This includes working both in and out of classrooms and through being involved in one of our parent bodies. Our families play a pivotal role in our school and we value their insights. Through surveys, parent groups and forums, and multiple communication avenues, we regularly seek feedback from families on how we are performing in our constant efforts to improve.
Our Community
Geographically, our school is located amongst the farms of Willowmavin. However, our school community is made up of people from well beyond the Willowmavin border. We have built, and will continue to build, a school community that is passionate about our school and has the opportunity to contribute to and develop it. We are working together as a community to create a school that, whilst small in size, is big in stature.
Our Values
At Willowmavin Primary School, our goal is to develop students who seek to achieve beyond any perceived limitations and who are respectful, resilient and safe members of our community. We work in close partnership with our families and the broader area, always ensuring that all members of the Willowmavin Primary School Community uphold our school values of:
Be Your Best: To always do your best and be the best that you can be. This is especially important when nobody else is watching.
Respect: Thinking and acting in a way that shows others you care about their feelings and their wellbeing. Respect also means taking care of yourself, others, our school property and our environment.
Resilience: The ability to accept that things will sometimes be challenging and not go the way you would like, and not letting such situations cause you to give up or become overly upset.
Safe: Always acting and behaving in a manner that ensures we are looking after ourselves and each other so that we feel healthy, safe, comfortable and happy.
**As the position start date is in the first week of Term 3, shortlisted applicants will be interviewed in the final week of Term 2.
