This role is being advertised by a recruitment agency on behalf of the organisation, which remains confidential at this stage.

The Role: Director of Finance
As Director of Finance, you will report directly to the Executive Headteacher and work closely with senior leaders, governors, and local authorities. You'll play a key role in shaping the financial strategy and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the schools.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure financial compliance, value for money, and effective risk management
  • Support income generation through fundraising, lettings, and other initiatives
  • Contribute to staffing structure reviews and workforce planning in collaboration with HR
  • Maintain secure and compliant financial and personnel records

The Person
We're looking for a values-driven finance professional who is passionate about making a difference in education.

You will bring:

  • Proven experience in financial leadership, ideally within education or the public sector
  • Strong knowledge of financial compliance, statutory regulations, and HR processes
  • Strategic thinking with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and decision-making skills
  • A commitment to integrity, transparency, and improving outcomes for children

What's In It for You?
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 per annum
Pension: Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
Job Security: Permanent role following a one-term trial period
Professional Growth: Work across multiple schools with a supportive leadership team
Impact: Play a key role in shaping the future of education in central London
Location: This is an office-based role located in WC1, central London.
