SCHOOL BUSINESS MANAGER
Required for February 2020 or earlier
Salary: Senior Managers Pay Scale. Grade SM3
Pay Range: £63,145-£68,401 Point 13 -17 NCJ
Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ is a successful comprehensive situated between Euston and Kings Cross/St. Pancras stations in the London Borough of Camden in central London.
We are looking for a talented, experienced and enthusiastic professional to take the lead role in the business management of the school and to be an active member of the Senior Leadership Team.
Previous experience of people management, financial management, property maintenance and health and safety is essential, as are excellent organisational and inter-personal skills.
In 2018-19 we merged our separate lower and upper schools into a brand new state of the art school on a single site between Euston and Kings Cross Stations. Our new building is fantastic – with fully equipped spaces for teaching and learning, new technology and systems to support 21st century learning.
Our current Business Manager has flourished in our school and has really supported us through this transitionary period. We are sad to lose her to a promotion but we are excited about welcoming a new leader into our team. We now have new systems and structures in place and are ready for the next phase of our development. We are looking for a leader who understands the many facets of school business leadership and who can continue to drive forward improvements and develop our premises and administration teams as we grow and build on our success.
Our vision is that FCJ schools are communities of personal academic excellence. Strong in companionship, the unique giftedness of every person is recognised, nourished and celebrated. Our hope and expectation is that each young person grows into their best self, with zest for life and the generosity and confidence to use their talents and gifts in the service of others.
We believe we provide a truly special experience for our students and staff – not only of academic excellence but also an environment that is caring, supportive and focused on the uniqueness of every person.

About Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ
- Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ
- 1-39 Drummond Crescent, Camden
- London
- NW1 1LY
- United Kingdom
Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ is an established and successful secondary school based in Camden, in the heart of London. We take pride in our friendly school community and are committed to our pupils reaching their full potential. Our core principles of courage, confidence and dignity guide us in our daily practice. In 2018 we moved into a brand new, state of the art building which fully enhances the experience of both students and staff.
Maria Fidelis is a welcoming and supportive community. We value the professional autonomy of high-performing staff and understand the different approaches different departments may need to take. We make managing workload a high priority. All meetings, Parents’ and Open Events happen on a Thursday and staff are free to leave the site earlier on all other evenings, providing standards of marking and preparation are maintained.
We are forward-looking and progressive with many opportunities for professional development and sharing practice. Maria Fidelis belongs to networks within Camden, but also in other boroughs including Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and with other high performing Catholic Schools in the Westminster Diocese.
Maria Fidelis is situated in a fantastic location between Euston and Kings Cross Station, which makes it very easy to reach. The British Library, Francis Crick Institute, Wellcome Trust, UCL, SOAS, LSE and Central St. Martin’s School of Art are all within a five-minute walk of the school site; the school therefore enjoys extracurricular links with several institutions, many of which offer exciting opportunities not only for our pupils, but also professional development activities for our teachers. Partnerships with City firms such as Deloitte enrich the curriculum and also allow our staff to keep ’in touch’ with the world outside of education.

Values and Vision
Maria Fidelis is focused on its Roman Catholic faith but we are also a diverse school community in terms of both staff and pupils and therefore welcome applications from anyone who supports our ethos. The school first started in 1830 serving the local Catholic community under the founder of the Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ), sisters who continue to work with the school to this day. Much like other schools associated with the FCJ, Maria Fidelis is a school that promises academic excellence. The hope and expectation of the school is that students grow into the best people they can, using their talents to help others.
