Are you an experienced school operations professional looking for your next challenge in West Yorkshire?
Do you want to play a pivotal role in shaping the financial and administrative success of a local school?
Are you ready to secure a rewarding, long-term position starting this coming academic year?
We are currently seeking a dedicated and organised School Business Manager for a fantastic position in Leeds. This role is scheduled to begin in September for the full academic year, offering the perfect opportunity to hit the ground running with the autumn term.
Key Requirements
To be successful in this role, you must meet the following criteria:
-
UK Experience: You must have proven, recent experience working within a UK school or educational setting. Candidates without specific UK school experience cannot be considered.
-
Qualifications vs Experience: Relevant professional qualifications (such as CSBM/DSBM or financial management certificates) are highly desirable, but we will happily accept and value equivalent, solid hands-on experience in a similar role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
