Job Overview
From January 2026, this is an outstanding opportunity to play a leading role in the operational life of one of the South West’s most respected independent schools. As Operations Director, you will be a member of the Senior Management Team, working closely with the Executive Head, Head of Kings College Prep, and the Bursar to ensure that the school’s physical, logistical, and pastoral infrastructure fully supports its educational mission.
The role carries wide-ranging responsibilities—from estates, catering, medical provision, and transport to health and safety, lettings, and sustainability. At its core, the ability to manage complex operations and motivate high-performing teams is essential, ensuring that King’s continues to be a safe, welcoming, and well-run environment for pupils, staff, and visitors alike.
We are proud of our combined 110 acres across two campuses, our vibrant boarding and day community, and our commitment to high standards. The successful candidate will bring strategic thinking, operational rigor, and strong people leadership, alongside a willingness to engage in the day-to-day life of a busy, purposeful school.
Whether you come from an educational background or a similarly complex and regulated sector, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape the next chapter of King’s, combining service excellence with innovation, compliance with creativity, and tradition with a forward-thinking outlook.
