Group Head of Finance
Eltham College Family of Schools | South East London
Salary circa £75,000 + excellent benefits

A rare opportunity to join one of London’s leading independent school groups at a genuinely exciting point of transformation and growth.

The Eltham College Family of Schools — comprising Eltham College Senior School, Eltham College Junior School and Blackheath Prep — is a high-performing, values-led organisation with an outstanding reputation for academic excellence and a rich co-curricular offering. Named London Independent School of the Year 2024 by The Sunday Times, the group continues to thrive despite wider sector challenges.

This is a pivotal appointment.

The newly created Group Head of Finance role offers the chance to step into a business that is not only successful, but evolving — with significant change underway across systems, structure and ways of working. For a commercially minded and hands-on finance leader, this is an opportunity to truly get your teeth stuck into something meaningful.

The opportunity

Reporting to the Bursar and working closely with the Executive Team, you will act as the senior finance professional across the group, providing both strategic leadership and operational oversight.

Crucially, you will join at a time of real momentum:

• A new finance system is being implemented across the group, requiring leadership to embed, optimise and enhance reporting capability
• The finance function is undergoing restructure, offering the opportunity to shape team design, capability and future direction
• There is a clear mandate to modernise processes, strengthen controls and drive efficiencies
• Senior stakeholders are engaged and open to fresh thinking and improvement

This is not a role where you simply maintain — this is a role where you build.

You will lead financial planning, reporting and governance across all three schools, supporting key strategic decisions including investment, estates development and long-term financial sustainability. Alongside this, you will remain close to the detail, ensuring operational excellence across the finance function.

The environment

Set across a stunning 70-acre campus in south-east London, Eltham College combines heritage with ambition. The group benefits from strong financial foundations, high demand, and a clear vision for continued success.

It is a collaborative and values-driven environment, underpinned by a commitment to education, development and community. Staff benefit from excellent facilities, strong leadership, and a culture that genuinely invests in people.

The person

We are looking for a qualified accountant with strong technical grounding and proven experience operating in a senior finance role.

You will bring:

• Experience of leading finance within a complex, multi-entity or multi-site environment
• A track record of improving systems, processes and controls
• The ability to lead through change and bring teams with you
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the credibility to influence at senior level
• A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to balance strategy and delivery

Experience within education or the independent school sector would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Why join?

This is an opportunity to join a thriving organisation that is not standing still — but actively investing in its future.

You will play a key role in shaping a modern, high-performing finance function, with the autonomy and support to make a real impact. For someone motivated by change, improvement and leadership, this role offers both challenge and reward in equal measure.

Play a central role in supporting teachers and safeguarding students at a growing, high-quality music school.

This is a practical, hands-on role combining pastoral judgement with detailed operational work. You’ll handle sensitive situations with care and clarity, while maintaining the systems and processes that underpin consistent, high-quality practice.

Greenwich Music School delivers lessons to hundreds of students each week across our venues, partner schools, and online. As we grow, we are looking for a Teacher Support & Pastoral Lead to take ownership of day-to-day safeguarding, behaviour, and teacher support work - alongside the policies, records, and processes that support it.

You will be the first point of contact for many teacher and safeguarding-related issues, handling routine and moderately complex situations independently. You’ll be expected to make decisions using judgement and policy, rather than relying on escalation in most day-to-day cases, while recognising when to involve the Principal.

Alongside casework, a significant part of the role is maintaining and improving the systems behind it - including safeguarding records, compliance processes, onboarding, and documentation.

This role sits at the centre of how we support both students and teachers. It requires calm judgement, strong communication, and the ability to balance sensitivity with clarity, structure, and consistency.

What the role involves

• Acting as Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, supporting the Principal (DSL)
• Managing safeguarding concerns day-to-day, including recording, follow-up, and appropriate escalation
• Acting as first point of contact for teacher concerns, including behaviour and pastoral issues
• Supporting teachers to handle challenging situations with students and families, including setting clear expectations and boundaries where needed
• Maintaining and improving safeguarding systems, including the Single Central Record, DBS and ID checks, and training records
• Taking ownership of key policies (safeguarding, behaviour, inclusion, online safety), ensuring they are practical, up to date, and consistently applied
• Managing teacher onboarding processes, including compliance checks and induction
• Co-ordinating training sessions and teacher events (logistics, communication, records)
• Maintaining the teacher handbook and communicating updates clearly
• Working alongside the SEND lead and Principal to support teachers working with students with additional needs
• Identifying and implementing improvements to processes, policies, and day-to-day practice

What success looks like

• Safeguarding concerns are handled consistently, with clear records and appropriate follow-up
• Compliance systems (SCR, DBS, training) are accurate and reliably maintained
• Teachers feel supported and clear on expectations
• Policies are up to date and reflected in day-to-day practice
• Onboarding and training processes run smoothly
• Day-to-day matters are handled confidently, with escalation where appropriate

About you

You are comfortable handling sensitive situations and making sound judgements without needing detailed instruction. You can communicate clearly and calmly, including when conversations are difficult or require you to hold boundaries.

You are organised and thorough, with strong attention to detail, and you follow things through to completion. You are equally comfortable maintaining detailed records and improving the systems behind them.

You are motivated by clarity and consistency - and by helping others work effectively within a well-run structure.

You will likely bring:

• Experience handling behaviour, safeguarding, or pastoral issues in a professional setting
• Confidence making independent, policy-informed decisions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• An understanding of safeguarding principles and professional boundaries
• The ability to work independently in a remote-first environment

Experience in education, SEND support, or safeguarding compliance is helpful but not essential.

Additional details

• Hybrid working, with regular in-person time in Greenwich (typically weekly, especially during onboarding)
• Reports to the Principal, and works closely with the Operations Manager

The Institute of Imagination (iOi) is looking for an Impact and Participation Lead to help shape how we understand, learn from and grow our work with children, families and communities across the UK.

This is a strategic and hands-on role for someone who enjoys turning insight into action — working with teams and partners to embed meaningful participation, capture learning, and strengthen the impact of creative programmes.

About the Role

The Impact and Participation Lead is part of the Experience and Learning team, leading the development of how we measure, understand and use impact across our programmes.

You’ll work closely with delivery teams, partners and communities to embed reflective practice and ensure that learning is built into everything we do. This includes designing approaches to capture both data and lived experience — turning these into clear, useful insight that informs decisions and strengthens our work.

A core part of the role is ensuring that children and community voices are genuinely heard and shape programmes in meaningful ways. You’ll support teams to move beyond consultation, building confident, inclusive approaches to co-design and participation.

This is a role that balances big-picture thinking with practical implementation — creating frameworks, tools and ways of working that are simple, useful and embedded across a growing, multi-site programme.
