Detail

We are looking for an exceptional candidate to lead on all aspects of finance and operations at Tranby; a well-established, successful, all-through, co-educational independent day school. Tranby provides an excellent academic and extra-curricular education for children aged 2-19.

Tranby is an outstanding local school attracting pupils from across Hull, The East Riding and beyond. Through its predecessor schools, it has educated generations of local families and is today the first choice both for them and newer arrivals to the area.

As Director of Finance and Operations, you will contribute directly to our mission to bring out “the best in everyone” through outstanding leadership of those areas and the teams that deliver them. The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional financial and operational acumen, the ability to think creatively and drive innovation, and the ability to harness the support of the school communities as an inspiring, visionary leader.

As part of United Learning, Tranby benefits from central support and expertise. You will be joining a network of dedicated, highly professional colleagues across both our independent schools and academies, who work collaboratively and share a vision of bringing out the best in everyone.

At a time of unprecedented change and challenge for the independent schools sector, this role provides the right leader with a fantastic opportunity to thrive and build their reputation alongside that of the School, with the full support and structure of a leading schools group behind them. If you share our ambition for this role and for the children and young people we serve, we look forward to receiving your application.

We are striving to have a more diverse staff body and acknowledge that we are currently under-represented, so we particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates.

What do our staff say?

“I love working at Tranby. There have been many changes in recent years, swift changes but relevant and positive. I feel very much part of a nurturing extended family where we all look out for each other and quickly spot where and when we need support.”

“I can honestly say that it's the best school I’ve worked in, where morale is good and staff members feel happy to go to work every day. Each staff member is made to feel valued and has their strengths and skills identified and celebrated. This ultimately brings the best out in everyone and creates confident and happy members of staff.”

“I have never worked in a place where staff wellbeing is such a huge priority. The support and range of different things that are available to staff are fantastic.”
