Methodist Independent Schools Trust (MIST) is partnering exclusively with Robertson Bell to recruit a Head of Finance on a permanent, full-time basis. The Methodist Church is engaged in education as part of its Christian mission in the world. Methodist Schools seek to reflect a Methodist ethos and contribute to diversity in education.

Methodist Schools are inclusive and welcoming communities where individuals are valued, good order is respected, relationships cherished, and where excellence in its widest sense (academic, extra-curricular, lifestyle) is pursued. Methodist Schools aim to maintain high educational standards in all academic, cultural and sporting activities and provide excellent pastoral care, stimulating excitement in learning and requiring discipline in study so that all pupils thrive and develop to their full potential, whatever their ability.

Since the founding of Kingswood School by John Wesley in 1748, Methodist Independent Schools have been providing a high quality, rounded and caring education. Today, MIST is formed of ten independent schools.

As the most senior finance professional within the organisation, the Head of Finance will have overall responsibility for the quality of the consolidated financial reporting for the charity (£100m+ turnover), and for supporting the Business Director with ensuring that Trustees are appropriately informed of the financial position of the charity in order that they may fulfil their oversight duties.

MIST values applications that reflect the diversity of the communities in which they work, and welcomes colleagues of all faiths and of none.
