Zaytouna Primary School is seeking to appoint an Operations Manager to manage the school office and provide HR, payroll and other administrative, financial, organisational processes within the school.

Zaytouna Primary is a larger than average, over-subscribed inner city Islamic Faith school dedicated to providing an excellent education for all our children in partnership with Transform Trust. Located in a commercial district of the city, we draw most of our children from the inner-city area of Normanton. After a period of significant growth and flourishment, we are now at full capacity and operating a waiting list; our staff team is now stable, too. Parents from a wider area are now choosing us as their first preference because of our vibrant academic offer, our provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), as well as our Islamic distinctiveness.
Almost all of our children are from minority ethnic backgrounds and a high proportion speak English as an additional language (EAL). Drawing from areas of significant deprivation, the proportion of disadvantaged children is above the national average and growing. The number of children with SEND, including those with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) is broadly in line with the national average and increasing. Our curriculum is the universal entitlement for all children and allows everyone to grow, develop and flourish - this is something we are extremely proud of.

1. have general office or similar experience, ideally in an Educational setting
2. experience of managing people
3. be able to carry out both routine and more difficult financial calculations
4. have the ability to interpret data / information and present this to senior staff in an appropriate, understandable fashion
5. be accurate and take pride in your work
6. work well as part of a team
7. be literate and numerate;

In return we offer:
1. A welcoming community and a highly motivated, professional staff team that are driven towards continuously raising standards.

3. Calm and purposeful learning environments.
