    Bursar and Clerk to the Governors - Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom - Independent Schools'​ Bursars Association

    Default job background
    Description

    Kent College is a co-educational school with a Methodist foundation. The school is located in Canterbury, just one hour from the centre of London by train. The Senior School (11 – 18 years) has some 600 pupils, approximately one-third boarding and two-thirds day, and a thriving Junior School and nursery. Uniquely in the local market the school is also lucky to have its own small farm on a combined campus of over eighty acres. The school has a strong commitment to internationalism and has two sister campuses in Dubai and West Cairo.

    Kent College is proud of its A Level and IB students' track record of academic success, with consistently excellent exam performance leading to enhanced destinations.

    This is a fabulous opportunity to join a school with a high reputation for academic standards and work for a happy, caring, and successful school in which pupils feel supported and encouraged to aim for high standards of achievement and conduct.

    The school was graded as excellent in all categories in the inspection conducted by ISI in October 2022, the Independent Schools Inspectorate that conducts inspections on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education.

    To support the school's recent growth and future ambitions, we are keen to identify an outstanding Bursar and Clerk to the Governors with significant financial, commercial, leadership skills and experience who will partner with the Head and the Governors in leading the next chapter of the school's development to expand and improve our estate, facilities and services to pupils, parents and staff, over the next 5 years and beyond.

    The Bursar and Clerk to the Governor's role is a senior non-teaching leadership position in the school. With responsibility for Finance, IT, HR, Compliance, Company Secretarial, Estates, Facilities and Services, it is wide in scope and remit and both challenging and rewarding. We are therefore seeking an exceptional general manager with strong prior financial and commercial experience.

    The successful candidate will be an individual of proven senior leadership ability, a strategic thinker and able to establish highly effective, collaborative working relationships with Governors and colleagues at all levels. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, exceptional financial acumen and robust commercial judgement will be essential.

    Applicants will need to have a genuine interest in and empathy for education however prior school bursar experience is not a pre-requisite.

    Kent College is being assisted in the recruitment of this key appointment by the Independent Schools' Bursars Association (ISBA) , from whom a Candidate Pack can be obtained by sending an email to

    Alternatively if you would like to discuss the position with ISBA prior to applying, please contact Lucy Wyatt on
