Job description

Sevenoaks School is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking financial leader to shape and enable the strategic development of the school. Reporting to the Bursar and working closely with the Head, Governors and senior leaders across the school, the role requires a clear strategic thinker with an approachable and collaborative style and proven financial and management expertise. You will have both the professional and interpersonal skills necessary to lead and inspire a ten-strong Finance team, engage effectively with senior managers and governors, and work in partnership with the Bursar to ensure the school is optimally positioned to continue investing in its staff, campus and educational provision for the future.

Experience within the charity or education sector is not essential but the successful candidate will have an empathy for the context and be able to apply their skills and experience effectively to lead a sizeable finance function within a leading independent school.

This is a full-time, all-year role based primarily on campus with some flexibility to work from home in line with the school's flexible working policy. The school offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including generous fee remission for eligible children.

Please see the attached job pack. Applications will be assessed and suitable candidates invited to interview on a rolling basis. The school reserves the right to appoint at any time and we therefore encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.

At Sevenoaks School our mission is to ensure that students secure their full potential. We prepare young people for life in a modern, global society and seek to provide every student with excellent role models. Having a diverse staff enhances our school community and we warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Sevenoaks School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and therefore, the offer of employment is subject to the satisfactory completion of a number of background checks including but not limited to an enhanced DBS check with Children's Barred list check, the taking up and verification of references and the verification of career history and fitness to undertake the role, as well as an online check.
