A renowned education trust located in one of the most picturesque regions of England, surrounded by rolling hills and charming villages, is seeking a dynamic Chief Financial Officer to join their leadership team.

Ideally, you have experience in network building, navigating funding streams, and possess a strategic mindset coupled with leadership experience.

Previous experience in education is not required. This forward-looking trust recognises that their next CFO could come from any sector.

This trust prides itself on having a Central Business Team that is fully integrated into the school community. When working on-site, you'll be surrounded by the vibrant energy of the school environment, ensuring that every team member feels valued and connected.

The Trust values the contributions of its team members and aims to create a supportive and rewarding work environment. In addition to a competitive salary package, there are opportunities for professional growth and development, 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, generous sick pay, and enrollment in the LGPS pension scheme. This role offers both immediate rewards and long-term benefits.

So, if you're ready to apply your strategic skills, foster meaningful relationships, be embraced by a welcoming community, and enjoy scenic walks during your breaks, let's discuss further.
