Head of Business and Operations at TreeHouse School

Location: TreeHouse School, Woodside Ave, N10 3JA

Salary: £59,000 to £63,000 per annum (depending on skills and experience)

Start date: January 2027 (scope to start earlier)

About TreeHouse School:

TreeHouse School, part of Ambitious about Autism, is an Ofsted Outstanding specialist school supporting children and young people aged 4–19 with autism and complex learning needs. We are committed to providing an exceptional learning environment where every pupil can thrive and achieve their full potential.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Head of Business & Operations to join our Senior Leadership Team.

This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in the leadership of the school, ensuring our operational services enable outstanding education and the very best outcomes for our pupils.

Reporting directly to the Headteacher, you will provide strategic leadership across the school's business functions, leading operational teams and ensuring the effective delivery of services that support pupils, staff and families.

Your areas of responsibility will include:

  • Finance – leading budget planning, financial monitoring, resource allocation, and financial oversight to ensure value for money and support school priorities.
  • Property & Facilities – leading the school's estate, health & safety, compliance, and facilities management, ensuring a safe and effective learning environment.
  • Operations & Administration – leading the school's operational support functions, including the Office Manager, reception/front desk, senior administration and wider operations team, ensuring effective systems, processes and service delivery.
  • HR & Employee Relations – working alongside Ambitious about Autism's central People Team to support recruitment, employee relations, workforce planning, and staff development whilst providing advice and support to managers.
  • Strategic Projects – driving operational improvements, developing systems, and supporting the future growth and development of the school.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you'll contribute to the strategic direction of the school while leading and developing high-performing operational teams.

Every operational decision ultimately supports our pupils. We are looking for a leader who shares our commitment to enabling autistic children and young people to thrive and achieve their full potential.

What We Are Looking For:

We are looking for somebody who:

  • Has strong financial and operational leadership experience.
  • Is a strategic and commercially minded leader who can balance operational excellence with long-term planning.
  • Is confident leading, motivating and developing teams.
  • Can make difficult decisions and have challenging conversations with empathy and professionalism.
  • Is emotionally intelligent, approachable, and resilient.
  • Remains calm under pressure and thinks clearly when faced with unexpected challenges.
  • Enjoys improving systems, solving problems, and making a genuine impact.
  • Shares our commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for autistic children and young people.

Working in a specialist autism school means you'll be part of a fast-paced, varied and incredibly rewarding environment. The role requires someone who is adaptable, solutions-focused, and comfortable leading in a setting where operational challenges can arise unexpectedly.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of an Ofsted Outstanding specialist autism school.
  • Join an ambitious, collaborative and values driven leadership team.
  • Play a key role in shaping the future of one of the UK's leading specialist education settings.
  • Access professional development opportunities through Ambitious about Autism.
  • Make a tangible difference to the lives and outcomes of autistic children and young people.
