The role will include the management and development of the site, ensuring best value, and tendering for local contracts.  A key accountability will be maximising income from the excellent facilities available at the academy via LAT Enterprises and collaborating with colleagues across the Trust.  You will also provide leadership and support for members of the Administrative Team.  Key responsibilities include the following;

This is a challenging position for someone who is self-motivated, an excellent communicator and has an understanding of community both in terms of externally and within the academy.  The post holder is responsible for budget monitoring within their designated areas of responsibility only as there is a Finance Manager responsible for academy finances.  For more information, please consult the Job Description and Person Specification
