Director of Operations

This is an exciting and significant opportunity for someone with flair, energy and commitment to join our forward-thinking and expanding school.

The Director of Operations plays a key role in the day-to-day success and continued growth of Radnor House Twickenham, ensuring that business and support activities are managed effectively.

Responsible for the management of the school premises, health & safety, compliance & risk management, and leading a large team of non-teaching staff, the Director of Operations is a key member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), reporting directly to the Principal and with regular involvement with the Board of Governors.

The Director of Operations leads on administration, HR, IT and premises, working closely with the heads of these departments to ensure the effective day-to-day operations of the school, and alongside the Financial Controller to ensure its sound financial management. This is a diverse and demanding role that would suit someone dynamic and inspiring who is keen to get involved and who has a genuine ‘can-do’ attitude.

There will be an exciting new challenge in September 2023, when the Senior School at Radnor House moves to its new location at Kneller Hall, creating the largest independent school site in southwest London and requiring considerable initiative and oversight to ensure the successful management of this significant change.

On offer is a fifty-two week contract with thirty-three days annual leave (including Bank Holidays). In addition, there will be a very competitive salary, commensurate with skills and experience, with excellent professional development opportunities alongside benefits including free school breakfasts and lunches, Pilates, Christmas closure, cycle-to-work scheme, pension and life assurance.

Applications can only be considered in the form of a completed application form which should be returned to hr@radnorhouse.org by midday Friday 30th December 2022.
