Are you a motivated and experienced management accountant, looking to join a forward-thinking School?   

Royal Russell is an HMC/IAPS co-educational school with over 1000 pupils between the ages of 3 and 18, situated on a beautiful green campus of 110 acres in the Shirley Hills near Croydon. We have over 150 boarding students in the Senior School, and are proud of our day and boarding facilities that rank amongst the best in the South of England.  Our pupils, parents and staff experience a warm and friendly environment with strong pastoral care for every pupil alongside a comprehensive co-curricular and enrichment programme. We aim to build on this alongside improving academic success to continue to be the family school of choice in South London. The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) has recently judged the school as ‘excellent’ in all areas.  

We are a forward thinking progressive School offering an exceptional opportunity to join us in developing the use of management information and systems to support management decisions within the school.  This new role will develop management reports for the Senior Leadership Team and the Board, manage the expenditure team, process items onto the purchase ledger, nominal and fixed asset register, and support development of Finance systems.   

This is a role for an individual with management accounting experience, exceptional excel skills enabling them to present data in a clear, meaningful way for senior management, teachers and support staff. As part of a small finance team, at times the role will involve some data input and cover for processing staff within the team, so you must be a confident, practical accountant, willing to apply yourself to a variety of different tasks and able to prioritise your deadlines.  

We offer excellent benefits which include a 50% discount on School fees, immediate non-contributory pension and free life cover, free car parking, free lunch and the use of our strength and conditioning room, on-site tennis courts and swimming pool.
