Business Manager

This is a senior leadership role and a significant people leadership role. You will lead the business support and administration function, line manage Administration Managers and other designated staff, establish clear individual and team objectives, hold regular and purposeful supervision meetings for the Hampshire Music Service Support Team, and build a cohesive, accountable and high-performing team.

You will also lead the preparation, monitoring and forecasting of complex budgets across two planning cycles simultaneously: the academic year and the local authority financial year. You will ensure that funding, income, expenditure, staffing and delivery assumptions are aligned, clearly understood and translated into accurate, timely financial advice.

The role offers the opportunity to lead meaningful organisational change, improve systems and processes, and help secure the long-term sustainability of a service that enables children and young people across Hampshire to engage, be empowered and excel through music.
