[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.

We welcome passionate and imaginative educators into our learning community. We commit to supporting and valuing staff in their professional practice and growth through:
Our organisational design model of one Assistant Principal and One Leading Teacher (PEGs) moving through with their cohort from year 7 through to year 12, allows for the embedding of relationships and encompasses the four pillars of:
Professional Culture
Knowing our Students
Curriculum
Pedagogy.
Staff work collaboratively in meeting time, cycling through each pillar in a directly connected sequence using the Inquiry Cycle framework. Our school has achieved Silver status in embedding the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework and we are currently developing an inclusive curriculum framework strongly aligned to the VTLM 2.0. At Craigieburn Secondary College we teach for Understanding and ensure that all students have access to and success in their academic and social learning.
As a new member of our community, you will be supported through a structured induction program, with embedded and dedicated time release for mentoring and coaching. Being able to quickly build strong and positive relationships between staff, students, and families, is underpinned by our values of belonging and respect, and is front and centre of our practices through form teacher roles, community events and extra-curricular opportunities.
On the lands of the Wurundjeri people, our community is wonderfully diverse with over fifty different language backgrounds being represented through our families and staff. We support and celebrate this diversity with a team of multicultural and integration staff, events, and performances. A significant proportion of our students experience challenges at home and are supported through breakfast and homework clubs, as well as a dedicated allied health team that includes counsellors, youth workers, mental health practitioners and a speech pathologist. Learning is supported through targeted fluency and tutoring programs, with learning partners ensuring Individual Learning Plans are developed and effectively implemented.
Staff at our school have many opportunities to expand on their teaching practice through leadership responsibilities and positions that promote individual and professional growth. These opportunities are reflective of our commitment to enhancing our students' personal and educational growth in the following ways:
2026 will see Craigieburn Secondary College continue to interweave SWPBS and VTLM 2.0 using an explicit teaching planning template. We will continue to develop our work within a multi-tiered system that encompasses Wellbeing, Behaviour and Academic supports.
