Redmaids’ High School is a vibrant and forward\-thinking community, where 720 girls aged 7–18 are empowered to learn without limits. The School’s high\-achieving educational culture nurtures confident and well\-rounded young women equipped with the skills, creativity and mindset needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The successful candidate will combine strong technical financial expertise with excellent judgement, the ability to build relationships quickly and the confidence to challenge and improve established ways of working.
