We have a superb opportunity for a talented and highly professional Finance Manager to make a significant contribution to the evolution of the Bryanston finance team and take responsibility for the day-to-day financial operations of our busy boarding school, ensuring a high standard of financial integrity, openness and influence, and providing sound financial advice and guidance to stakeholders at all levels.

This is a transformational role requiring sensitive and effective leadership and a close working relationship with the Finance Director and Chief Operating Office to move the finance function to its next level of development. It will also play a major role in ensuring that an appropriate financial strategy is in place to guide the School's financial decision making, provide timely and accurate financial information as required and ensure appropriate internal controls and financial procedures are in place.
