Head of finance

Ready to Make a Difference? Channing School is not what you might expect from a North London Independent Girls School and has much to offer to both students and staff members. Situated in the beautiful, leafy suburb of Highgate, it provides fantastic views over the London skyline while fostering a sense of local community. The school embodies a unique educational philosophy where students thrive as individuals and enjoy success ndash; a philosophy that resonates among the staff, of which you can be a part. With over 1,000 students aged between 4-18, 250 staff members, and an annual income in the region of GBP25m, this is truly a school that means business. In recent years, Channing has completed several major capital projects, resulting in over GBP30 million being invested in the development of the school, with a further GBP15 million planned over the next few years. As an institution committed to strategic growth, Channing School seeks to appoint a dynamic and experienced Head of Finance to play a pivotal role in shaping its financial strategy. You will need to be detail-oriented, working closely with the Bursar to execute the strategic plan while overseeing the school #39;s accounts. You should be comfortable with all aspects of operational finance, including benchmarking and analysis. This role is particularly crucial given the evolving economic landscape and potential governmental changes, requiring someone who is commercially astute with sound decision-making skills along with ACA/ACCA qualification or equivalent. On offer is a competitive salary, discounts on school fees, a generous holiday allowance, a combined pension worth up to 10%, a complimentary lunch, and access to sports facilities.
