The ability to be creative, identify funding opportunities and to think strategically is critical. You will need excellent interpersonal skills and will have line management responsibilities for our office and facilities staff. You will play an important role as part of our Senior Leadership Team. You will be focussed on making sure that together we make the most of every penny we have to improve outcomes for all of our wonderful pupils.
