Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Education Full time

About the School:


Mudgeeraba Special School is a Prep to Year 12 campus supporting students with complex disability and medical needs and this is an opportunity to be part of a strong community partnering beyond the school grounds.

Our focus is to work collaboratively as a team to ensure students successful transition to post school options.

About the Role:


As the Business Manager you will interpret and analyse business plans and work alongside the Principal to deliver a range of corporate services.

You will manage the timely delivery of organisational executive and administrative support; frequently identify opportunities to adapt processes; supervise the support staff workforce; and encourage an environment in which quality services are delivered by demonstrating best practice, inspiring change and influencing key stakeholders.

The Business Manager reports to the Principal and liaises with Deputy Principals, Heads of Department and Curriculum Coordinators.

Responsibilities include:

  • Demonstrate considerable autonomy, ensuring business service outcomes are achieved; leading diverse teams; and playing a proactive role in modelling service delivery and expectations within a dynamic special school environment.
  • Provide support and leadership in the provision of a range of executive and administrative support services (e.g. manage multiple tasks and diverse/multidisciplinary work groups with conflicting priorities and timeframes; interpret departmental policies and oversee training and professional development for school support staff), and recommend and implement changes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of those processes and work practices.
  • Lead and manage human resources for school support staff (through the identification of emerging talent, promotion of excellent performance outcomes and mentoring individuals to achieve their professional potential); undertake workforce planning; and oversee a breadth of activities (e.g. recruitment, induction, training, vacancy processing, skill gap analysis, performance management, rehabilitation processes). Work with the Principal in leading change within the school support staff, ensuring human resource practices conform to current standards and awards/conditions, and individuals thrive in a transforming work environment.
  • Support as required with the management of school commercial endeavours, including recruitment of staff/volunteers.
  • Contribute to financial planning processes including developing, planning, monitoring and reviewing the annual school budget, regularly reporting to the school management team and ensuring that financial activities comply with legislation and policy. Conduct analysis and provide information and advice to the Principal regarding the school's financial situation.
  • Provide facilities management advice and project management (e.g. evaluate new work and renovation projects in collaboration with the Principal; negotiate with external contractors; make recommendations and decisions in collaboration with the Principal; manage and review the Minor Works, grounds maintenance, and grounds improvement budgets). Consider alternative pathways for more effective and sustainable resource utilisation.
  • Build networks with other Business Managers, staff and community representatives to ensure the provision of corporate services meets best practice, and act as a role model for talent within the network.
  • Other suitable duties, consistent with the duties and responsibilities of the position as directed by the supervisor or nominated delegate.

Additional knowledge and skills:

  • Awareness of our community supporting students with complex disability and medical needs.
  • Knowledge and skills with departmental platforms including but not limited to: One School, BEMIR, My Hr
  • Highly effective communication skills
  • Highly effective team management skills
