Uppingham is a vibrant, stimulating, and forward-looking school with a long and proud history.
Founded in 1584, we are one of the UK’s leading co-educational independent boarding and day schools for some 830 pupils aged 11 to 18. We have a strong academic profile, offering a rich and wide-ranging co-curriculum and excellent pastoral care tailored to the needs of today’s young people.
Uppingham has entered a new and exciting era in its development. As part of this we have ambitions to modernise and transform the Finance function, celebrated for its accuracy, analytical acuity and faultless audit reports, into a dynamic service-led team. Our goal is to provide seamlessly accessible data and support rapid decision-making in order to be as confidently future facing as possible.
In our next Chief Financial Officer, we seek an outstanding professional with a proven track record of successful financial leadership and evidence of successfully leading a finance function; contributing to strategy at board level; delivering change through new systems and processes; and meeting all aspects of financial compliance. The appointee will be a dynamic and inspirational character with the ability to influence change and steer new ways of working.
Existing school experience is not a prerequisite, and applications are encouraged from candidates from a wide range of commercial, charitable, private-sector, and public-sector backgrounds. A commitment to the benefits of an all-round holistic independent education and an alignment with the Uppingham Group of Schools’ vision and ethos are essential.
