The Business Manager role at Milgate PS is broken over two roles working cohesively, with individual focus and expertise. This position is for a 0.6 Business Manager, Human Relations. The role requires the successful applicant to work three days a week with a mandatory Thursday/Friday. The school has a 0.5 Business Manager, Finance role already in place. Although the responsibilities are divided, both Business Managers must maintain a highly collaborative working relationship to ensure seamless school operations.

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.
