The Role

As Operations Manager, you will provide high-level strategic and operational support, ensuring the smooth and effective management of the school’s administrative, HR, financial, and operational functions. You will act as a key link between leadership, staff, governors, parents, and external stakeholders, enabling the Headteacher to focus on strategic priorities.

You will lead and line manage the administration team and premises supervisor, holding them to account for the delivery of their responsibilities. By overseeing compliance, financial processes, HR systems, and facilities management, you will ensure the school operates as a safe, well-organised, and financially sustainable environment that supports outstanding teaching and learning.

We provide a creative and ambitious range of learning for over 100 pupils with a range of complex learning, physical and communication needs aged from 2-19 years. The school is a member of the Special Partnership Trust, an ambitious and energetic trust, inspiring collaboration of specialist provision in Cornwall, with a focus on excellence in learning for everyone.
