  • Produce timely, insightful management information with clear narrative to support decision-making.
  • Lead the preparation of statutory returns and annual accounts, ensuring compliance with all regulatory and reporting requirements.
  • Manage the year-end process and act as the primary contact for external auditors.
  • Maintain strong cash flow oversight and prepare accurate cash forecasts.
  • Ensure effective financial controls, policies, and procedures are in place and continuously improved.
  • Oversee the financial systems environment, ensuring it remains fit for purpose and fully utilised.
  • Support and guide budget holders, promoting financial accountability across the School.
  • Deputise for the Bursar on financial matters as required.

  • Proven experience in a senior finance leadership or management role.
  • Strong track record of budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
  • Experience working with Boards, Governors, or senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent understanding of financial controls, compliance, and best practice.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and develop teams effectively.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex financial information clearly.

Desirable:

  • Experience within education, charity, or not-for-profit environments.

Why Join Ibstock Place School?
