Director of Finance and Operations

Founded in 1923, Benenden is proud to have been at the forefront of pioneering girls’ education for more than 90 years.  In 250 acres of parkland in Kent, 550 girls benefit from an intimate educational experience with the core values of confidence, compassion, courage and courtesy at its heart.

Key to school life at Benenden is its culture of ‘stretch without stress’, and the unique boarding approach which is central to the Complete Education enjoyed by every girl. Motivational teaching through a dynamic and challenging curriculum is central to the educational offering of the school and girls are encouraged and supported to develop their interests and excel in areas beyond the classroom. 

Benenden now works towards its Centenary Vision, an exciting development plan which will lead the school to its milestone 100th anniversary in 2023. The school has constantly sought to develop and improve its educational provision, adding an all-weather pitch, pavilions, additional on-site staff housing, the state-of-the-art Science Centre and the Eco-Classroom to the campus in recent years.  

The School now seeks a Director of Finance and Operations who will play a pivotal role in the continued growth and strategic development behind Benenden’s success. The successful candidate will be commercially and financially astute, have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and will be a visible presence within the school community, truly embracing Benenden’s ethos and principles.
