We are delighted to be partnering with a high-growth, private equity backed group of independent schools in London to recruit a commercially driven and strategic Finance Director. This role is paying £120,000 - £130,000 + bonus + hybrid working. Note, it is critical you have previously worked within a multi-independent (or multi-academy trust) setting. This organisation is a fast-growing group of independent schools in the UK backed by private equity investors, focused on building a premium, multi-site education platform. It operates a portfolio of schools that typically combine strong academic performance with modern facilities and a broad co-curricular offering. The model is centred on acquiring, integrating, and improving schools while preserving their individual identities and educational standards. From a strategic perspective, the business is driven by value creation typical of private equity ownership, growing pupil numbers, optimising fee structures, improving operational efficiency, and expanding through acquisitions. There is usually a strong emphasis on data, performance tracking, and central support functions to enhance outcomes across the group. Culturally, they are fast-paced and evolving, sitting somewhere between traditional education and corporate performance-driven businesses. If you're considering joining a business like this, the appeal is typically exposure to strategy, M&A activity, and board-level decision-making, but it also comes with the intensity and accountability that private equity ownership brings. This is a pivotal leadership role offering the opportunity to work closely with the CEO and investors to drive financial performance, execute growth strategy, and maximise enterprise value across a multi-site education provider. As Finance Director, you will operate at the heart of the business, combining strategic finance leadership with hands-on operational influence.

We are delighted to be partnering with a high-growth, private equity backed group of independent schools in London to recruit a commercially driven and strategic Finance Director. This role is paying £120,000 - £130,000 + bonus + hybrid working. Note, it is critical you have previously worked within a multi-independent (or multi-academy trust) setting. This organisation is a fast-growing group of independent schools in the UK backed by private equity investors, focused on building a premium, multi-site education platform. It operates a portfolio of schools that typically combine strong academic performance with modern facilities and a broad co-curricular offering. The model is centred on acquiring, integrating, and improving schools while preserving their individual identities and educational standards. From a strategic perspective, the business is driven by value creation typical of private equity ownership, growing pupil numbers, optimising fee structures, improving operational efficiency, and expanding through acquisitions. There is usually a strong emphasis on data, performance tracking, and central support functions to enhance outcomes across the group. Culturally, they are fast-paced and evolving, sitting somewhere between traditional education and corporate performance-driven businesses. If you're considering joining a business like this, the appeal is typically exposure to strategy, M&A activity, and board-level decision-making, but it also comes with the intensity and accountability that private equity ownership brings. This is a pivotal leadership role offering the opportunity to work closely with the CEO and investors to drive financial performance, execute growth strategy, and maximise enterprise value across a multi-site education provider.
