Director of Finance and Operations (DFO)
Immanuel College has grown enormously over recent years and now educates some 700 children and young people, employs 150+ adults and has a turnover of nearly 13m. The school’s sole purpose is to help the children to be successful, joyful learners and to lead fulfilled lives. The College has built a strong reputation and, with demonstrably impressive ‘added value’, has exceeded expectations in terms of its exam results although not at the expense of the pupil’s welfare, which has continued as a central pillar of its approach.
Following this period of growth and educational advancement, Immanuel College is now on the cusp of a period of development which will include a substantial building and refurbishment programme over the next five years. The Director of Finance and Operations will therefore play a pivotal role in helping the Governing Body and the Head to realise their long-term objectives for the future development of Immanuel College. Working in close support of the Head, the DFO will act strategically and commercially as the facilitator of these aims working in a way which builds trust and confidence across the school community whilst building and leading a team of capable colleagues to manage the non-teaching functions of the school.
The successful candidate will bring a proven track record of successfully managing finance and other operational resources, as well as the delivery and implementation of significant organisational change. A commitment to the values and mission of the College and a collaborative and enabling style of leadership will be key elements. Applications are encouraged from candidates with significant educational experience, business or public sector backgrounds, who bring a high level of commercial acumen, a proven track record of change management and a genuine passion for education.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
