[Attendance requirement for this position]
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.

Why South Melbourne Park Primary School? We are a forward-thinking group of educators, who keep kids at the heart of our decisions and work collaboratively to build our professional knowledge in evidence-based best practice.
Our vision is to `inspire a new generation of curious minds¿.
Our mission is to foster a community of global citizens, grounded in integrity, empathy, and respect for self and others. We aim to nurture highly literate, numerate and curious life-long learners who are equipped to become the problem solvers of tomorrow.
For this role, we¿re seeking a highly skilled person with exceptional business and financial management abilities, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to efficiency. Just as importantly, we value someone who approaches their work with warmth, support, and approachability. This role includes the supervision of three staff members¿one each in administration, maintenance, and IT. This is a fantastic opportunity to join our dedicated team and play a key role in shaping the future of South Melbourne Park Primary School.
South Melbourne Park is a state of the art school that opened its doors at the beginning of 2019. Current enrolments sit at 400. Located in Albert Park Reserve, the school offers modern learning facilities in a unique heritage setting, surrounded by parkland and one of Melbourne¿s leading sports precincts. The historic Albert Park Signal Depot and Drill Hall buildings have been beautifully repurposed as classroom and specialist spaces, along with a central library. They sit alongside a new Discovery learning block and a gym with a competition-grade netball and basketball court.
Teaching and pedagogy inside the learning precincts reflects research-based best practice with staff collaborating in professional learning communities. The learning philosophy at South Melbourne Park is closely aligned with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 and the work of the Australian Education Research Organisation. Our instructional model focuses on Explicit Teaching, with an emphasis on the foundational skills that lead to proficiency. We also use a Design Thinking framework (the LAUNCH Cycle) to guide our Curiosity units. South Melbourne Park aspires to be a place where children love to learn and grow. Every Friday, we run Passions sessions¿an opportunity for students to explore, wonder, create, and innovate by following passions that may have emerged from the enduring understandings developed during Curiosity.
¿Kids at the Heart¿ is the cultural mantra that drives our decision making
