* A full UK driving licence
* Proven leadership and management experience
* Strong grasp of financial oversight and strategic planning
* Confident in conducting audits and quality observations
* Excellent IT skills

🎁 What’s in It for You?
As a senior leader, you’ll enjoy a rewarding package that reflects your experience and the value you bring:
* 💰 £45,000 – £50,000 salary (depending on experience)
* 🏖️ 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* 📚 3 fully paid CPD/training days per year
* 🎓 Access to fully funded apprenticeships up to Level 5
* 💡 5% employer pension contribution
* 👶 50% discount on nursery fees for your family
