The team delivers all non educational functions including operations, facilities, admissions, finance, marketing, HR, governance and SLT support. We work collaboratively with teaching staff to ensure we can provide a first class educational experience to our young people.

We are open to considering alternatives or flexible arrangements to this for the right candidates, as long as the business needs are covered. During term breaks a different pattern can be agreed. Additional overtime may be required on an ad-hoc basis to provide cover for College events and lettings. There is an expectation that the role will require some office function but is primarily operational
