Director of Finance job summary

Great finance leadership. Life-changing impact.

Everyone at Reach Schools believes every child can and should go on to enjoy lives of

choice and opportunity. This core belief drives everything we do and fuels our work every

day.

We’re at a truly exciting time in our development. With strong financial foundations in place,

we’re looking for a Director of Finance who shares our belief in every child and wants to use

their expertise to make a real difference.

This is an opportunity to build on that strong position, shape financial strategy across a

growing, purpose-driven Trust and work in close partnership with senior leaders and

schools. We’re looking for someone who can build trusted relationships, bring financial

information to life and turn complexity into clear, meaningful insight - giving colleagues the

understanding and confidence to make great decisions that benefit our children.

You’ll bring strong financial leadership, curiosity, ambition and a genuine passion for

education. Multi-academy trust experience would be great, but it’s not essential. We’re just

as interested in your potential, your values and what you could bring to Reach.

Ready for a new challenge with real purpose?

You’ll have the opportunity to work with the most brilliant, kind and passionate team you

could wish for - all united in our unwavering commitment to make a lasting difference. We

do exciting things, take calculated risks and champion the children who need it most.

We’re always keen to hear from brilliant finance leaders who want their work to stand for

something. Call Propelo for a confidential conversation and discover what your next chapter

at Reach Schools could look like.
