Job overview
The Governors invite applications for the post of Bursar and Clerk to the Governors on the retirement of the current Bursar at the end of December 2019.
Mayfield School is a leading Catholic independent boarding and day School for some 400 girls aged 11-18, situated in the East Sussex countryside, less than 50 miles from London and 40 minutes from Gatwick. Described by the Independent Schools Inspectorate as "outstanding" and by Country Life as "one of the finest schools in the land", this is a unique opportunity to join a forward-thinking leadership team where you will enjoy being part of a strong community and dynamic School.
You will be a highly-motivated individual, innovative and business minded. As a critical member of the School’s Senior Management Team with responsibility for the financial, operational and business aspects of the School, you will have strong financial acumen although an accounting qualification is not essential. Being of the Catholic faith is not a requirement although you will be expected to have strong empathy with the core values of this warm and welcoming community.
The successful applicant will be a strong communicator, a strategic and commercial thinker with a proven track record of financial and project management and effective leadership of teams. The Governors will welcome applicants from both educational and non-educational backgrounds.
The post is available from December 2019, and it is hoped that a meaningful period of handover will be possible for the successful candidate.

About Mayfield School
At Mayfield School we aim to educate the student’s mind, soul, heart and body in partnership with parents, so that each individual may develop: inner confidence, an unshakeable framework of spiritual values, strong moral principles, a deep capacity for compassion, and the knowledge, intellectual curiosity and training to continue learning throughout life; the confidence to become what they want to be, but make that self just what our Lord wants it to be.
We believe that our boarding experience is one of our strongest assets – it stimulates lifelong friendships and family loyalty to the school. It strengthens our work hard, play hard ethos. Our community is a temporary home for about half of our students and it prepares girls for independent life at university and beyond.
Our extra curricular activities programme is designed to compliment and support the girls’ curriculum studies and enhance the boarding experience. By combining their academic studies with creative and physical activities outside of the school day, girls learn to balance their activities with their studies and give equal commitment to both.
