Salary: Competitive
Closing date: 10am on Tuesday, 7th May 2024
The
Latymer School is a large, highly successful grammar school educating 1385
young people between the ages of 11 and 18. We have over 150 teaching and
support staff and a budget of over £10 million. We are a dynamic, innovative
organisation with a distinctive character and a history that goes back 400
years. We work with exciting and vibrant young people, providing an education
that positions them for successful and happy futures. We are now looking for an
outstanding candidate to take on the pivotal role of Director of Operations.
Reporting to the Headteacher, as the Director
of Operations you will give critical support to the Senior Leadership Team. You will play a key role in steering
our financial strategy alongside managing the day-to-day operations and support services of the School. You
will focus on operational efficiency to ensure that we provide high quality value
for money services resulting in the best education possible for our
young people.
Candidates
should have a relevant professional qualification or degree with a track record
of effective financial management, stewardship and reporting that is
transferable. Previous experience of working in an education
setting may be useful but not essential. More importantly, you
will need exceptional interpersonal skills, a commercial acumen and the ability to learn and adapt quickly.
This role is broader than just finance so experience of other relevant areas such as HR, estates,
procurement, and Health
and Safety would be an advantage.
