Role description Over the past two years the current Chief Operating Officer has successfully taken the Cathedral through the governance and organisational changes required to conform to the Cathedrals Measure, enabling the Cathedral to become registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales at the start of this year. After 11 years working in both finance and as COO, the current post holder is now moving on to become the first COO at a local secondary school. The Cathedral Chapter is therefore seeking to appoint a full-time Chief Operating Officer to lead us forward in this new era and contribute across a number of strategic and managerial aspects of Cathedral life. Our new COO will drive and manage the delivery of the Cathedral's strategy and will work with the Chapter to ensure that the Cathedral is effectively and efficiently run. They will have a key role in the delivery of the Cathedral's recently updated vision and mission priorities. The successful candidate will report to the Dean, have oversight of all operations within the Cathedral, provide support to the Chapter in its strategic planning, and be responsible for finance, governance, administration, property and for staff who are employed to support the Cathedral's work. They will need to have experience of being responsible for a broad range of operational functions, an understanding of working within a complex governance and charitable structure, be able to inspire our staff team and have the desire and motivation to nurture and encourage a strong sense of community. For the right candidate this offers an exciting and inspirational opportunity. Main purpose of role The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is the most senior lay officer and their relationship with the Dean is key. The COO role acts as a link between the lay and the clergy staff members, between the business of making a Cathedral run and the Cathedral as a place of worship. The COO supports the Dean, working in partnership with the Chapter and has overall responsibility for the effective and efficient business administration and operations of the Cathedral. The COO contributes to the formulation and implementation of the Cathedral's strategy through participation at Chapter and with the Senior Management Team. As Clerk to the Chapter, he/she is the adviser on issues of governance and good practice and ensures compliance with all policies and procedures and relevant statutory legislation. As well as being the clerk to the Chapter, the COO attends the following Chapter committees: Finance, Audit and Risk and Nominations. The COO also attends the Fabric Advisory Committee, the College of Canons, the Alban Foundation, and the Music Trust and Education Trust meetings. Our next COO will inspire and grow the staff team to enable them to fulfil their potential and play their part to help the Cathedral meet our agreed vision and strategy. The COO reports to the Dean. The COO's direct reports comprise: Head of Finance, the Head of Development and Fundraising, the Head of Marketing and Visitor Experience, the Director of Property and Fabric, and the Head of HR & Office Support. The COO chairs the Senior Management Team. A planned restructure of the finance team has recently been completed following registration with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 1 March 2024. Therefore, the Cathedral will very shortly be recruiting for a Chief Finance Officer (CFO) who will report directly to the COO. It is hoped the successful COO candidate will have an opportunity to be involved in the recruitment for the CFO post. Until the CFO is appointed, the existing finance structure of Head of Finance and Finance Assistant will remain in place. Once implemented, the new finance team structure will comprise a part time CFO and highly experienced full time Finance Manager. The COO oversees the care and conservation of the fabric of the Cathedral church and its estate, taking into account the expert views of the Cathedral's Fabric Advisory Committee and other independent regulatory bodies. The COO manages the Cathedral's relationship with the Cathedral Architect and Cathedral Archaeologist. The COO has oversight and leadership in the generation of additional income from commercial events and activities. The post-holder is a director of Cathedral Enterprises (St Albans) Ltd, a trading company wholly owned by the Cathedral responsible for the retail, catering and venue hire operations. The COO has overall supervisory responsibility for all 50 lay employees, several of whom work part-time, and an annual operating budget of £2-£3 million, plus funded fabric projects amounting to anything between £250,000 to £4million a year. The COO also works closely with the Cathedral Wardens and lead volunteer roles at the Cathedral. The COO is the senior responsible officer for data protection, health and safety and security. They also have strategic oversight of the Cathedral's risk management processes. The COO is supported in the area of Safeguarding by the Cathedral Safeguarding Officer who reports to the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care and attends the Safeguarding Committee meetings. The deadline for applications: Friday 17 May. Interviews: Monday 3 June. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete some online assessments and have a remote feedback session with a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, coordinated by Green Park Recruitment Consultants before interviews on 3 June Shortlisted candidates will also be offered information gathering meetings with the Diocesan Secretary, Chair of the Finance Committee & Head of Finance - meeting the latter 2 in a single meeting.

An internationally recognised specialist independent school and UK-registered charity (Gard'ner Memorial Ltd), More House School is the largest and leading school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. With an 85-year history, the School has seen rapid growth in pupil numbers over the last thirty years, from 65 to 500, and has repeatedly been graded Outstanding in five successive Ofsted inspections over the past decade. Located on a 30-acre estate in Frensham, on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, the School provides residential boarding and day places to a mix of privately-funded and local authority-funded pupils from across the South-East and beyond, and delivers a programme of outreach support and training to schools and educational trusts in both the independent and state-maintained sectors. This is an exciting time; the School is planning its next phase of its Frensham campus development, ensuring the quality of facilities and pupil experience for the future, and is exploring potential opportunity for significant expansion, so that many more children and young people can access our unique model of education, especially girls. The new role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) will support the Headmaster in implementing the new strategy ensuring strong financial planning and continuous development of the School's supporting operations in a cost-effective manner. Responsible to the Headmaster and Board of Governors, and reporting directly to the Headmaster on a day-to-day basis, the COO will bring proven experience of strategic and financial planning as well as the successful management of people. Our School Vision is: To lead in transforming the futures of intelligent children who experience Specific Learning Difficulties, Developmental Language disorder and associated conditions, by empowering them. Our School Values are: Kindness - Spirit - Responsibility The School A nationally celebrated charity, More House School provides an exceptional, mainstream education for boys with Specific Learning Difficulties and Developmental Language Disorders. Providing a transformative education repeatedly recognised as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted over more than a decade, we offer a specialised learning environment for 500 day and boarding boys from Year 4 to Year 13 (aged 8 to 18). Our pupils are taught to recognise their strengths and develop their self-belief so that they achieve independence and extraordinary results at GCSE, BTEC and A Level, above the national averages. Delivering a mainstream independent school experience, both academically and socially, the very broad curriculum affords all pupils the opportunity to discover their strengths, challenging them to fulfil their academic and extra-curricular potential. Judged 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in its last five School inspections, our most recent inspection (March 2023) graded More House School 'Outstanding' overall, and 'Outstanding' in each of the six sub-sections of the report. The School's provision for residential boarders was most-recently inspected in November 2023 and likewise graded Outstanding in every respect. More House is CReSTeD approved, listed in their Specialist Schools category, and is a member of the Independent Schools Association and the Boarding Schools' Association. Approximately 60% of pupils have their places at the School funded by a local authority, and are the subject of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Currently, more than thirty different local authorities have funded pupil places in the School. The remainder (40%) of pupils' places are funded privately by parents and extended families. The School is set on a wooded hillside in nearly thirty acres on the Hampshire/Surrey border and within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Attractive modern facilities lie above the playing fields. London Waterloo is one hour away by train from close-by Farnham railway station, and there is easy access to the M25, M3 and A3 major routes. Guildford is twenty minutes' drive away, Basingstoke twenty-five, and Southampton an hour. In the past ten years, the School has refurbished and extended its boarding facilities, refurbished its eight Science laboratories, built its School of Engineering and CAD facilities, and opened a new Humanities block and School Chapel. Autumn 2017 witnessed the completion of our brand-new library and Media Studies centre, and growth in learning support facilities. 2018 saw the expansion of the campus and the conversion of a large domestic building into our new Sixth Form centre, which was opened in January 2019, improving further the facilities for both teaching, and independent study. In December 2022, we installed a new Strength and Conditioning fitness gym for students and employees. Future plans include an ambitious building project improving further our Science laboratory facilities, extending the School's medical surgery and improving facilities for therapeutic counselling. We are also seeking planning permission for another project which will realise increased resources for Sports. The School's governors are also trustees of the Charity (The Gard'ner Memorial Ltd, Registered charity number: 311872) and non-executive directors of the not-for-profit limited company, limited by guarantee (Registered company number 523768). Teaching and support-services staff join the School from a variety of backgrounds and are united by a shared commitment to the School's vision and its values of Kindness, Spirit and Responsibility.

An internationally recognised specialist independent school and UK-registered charity (Gard'ner Memorial Ltd), More House School is the largest and leading school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. With an 85-year history, the School has seen rapid growth in pupil numbers over the last thirty years, from 65 to 500, and has repeatedly been graded Outstanding in five successive Ofsted inspections over the past decade. Located on a 30-acre estate in Frensham, on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, the School provides residential boarding and day places to a mix of privately-funded and local authority-funded pupils from across the South-East and beyond, and delivers a programme of outreach support and training to schools and educational trusts in both the independent and state-maintained sectors. This is an exciting time; the School is planning its next phase of its Frensham campus development, ensuring the quality of facilities and pupil experience for the future, and is exploring potential opportunity for significant expansion, so that many more children and young people can access our unique model of education, especially girls. The new role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) will support the Headmaster in implementing the new strategy ensuring strong financial planning and continuous development of the School's supporting operations in a cost-effective manner. Responsible to the Headmaster and Board of Governors, and reporting directly to the Headmaster on a day-to-day basis, the COO will bring proven experience of strategic and financial planning as well as the successful management of people. Our School Vision is: To lead in transforming the futures of intelligent children who experience Specific Learning Difficulties, Developmental Language disorder and associated conditions, by empowering them. Our School Values are: Kindness - Spirit - Responsibility The School A nationally celebrated charity, More House School provides an exceptional, mainstream education for boys with Specific Learning Difficulties and Developmental Language Disorders. Providing a transformative education repeatedly recognised as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted over more than a decade, we offer a specialised learning environment for 500 day and boarding boys from Year 4 to Year 13 (aged 8 to 18). Our pupils are taught to recognise their strengths and develop their self-belief so that they achieve independence and extraordinary results at GCSE, BTEC and A Level, above the national averages. Delivering a mainstream independent school experience, both academically and socially, the very broad curriculum affords all pupils the opportunity to discover their strengths, challenging them to fulfil their academic and extra-curricular potential. Judged 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in its last five School inspections, our most recent inspection (March 2023) graded More House School 'Outstanding' overall, and 'Outstanding' in each of the six sub-sections of the report. The School's provision for residential boarders was most-recently inspected in November 2023 and likewise graded Outstanding in every respect. More House is CReSTeD approved, listed in their Specialist Schools category, and is a member of the Independent Schools Association and the Boarding Schools' Association. Approximately 60% of pupils have their places at the School funded by a local authority, and are the subject of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Currently, more than thirty different local authorities have funded pupil places in the School. The remainder (40%) of pupils' places are funded privately by parents and extended families. The School is set on a wooded hillside in nearly thirty acres on the Hampshire/Surrey border and within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Attractive modern facilities lie above the playing fields. London Waterloo is one hour away by train from close-by Farnham railway station, and there is easy access to the M25, M3 and A3 major routes. Guildford is twenty minutes' drive away, Basingstoke twenty-five, and Southampton an hour. In the past ten years, the School has refurbished and extended its boarding facilities, refurbished its eight Science laboratories, built its School of Engineering and CAD facilities, and opened a new Humanities block and School Chapel. Autumn 2017 witnessed the completion of our brand-new library and Media Studies centre, and growth in learning support facilities. 2018 saw the expansion of the campus and the conversion of a large domestic building into our new Sixth Form centre, which was opened in January 2019, improving further the facilities for both teaching, and independent study. In December 2022, we installed a new Strength and Conditioning fitness gym for students and employees. Future plans include an ambitious building project improving further our Science laboratory facilities, extending the School's medical surgery and improving facilities for therapeutic counselling. We are also seeking planning permission for another project which will realise increased resources for Sports. The School's governors are also trustees of the Charity (The Gard'ner Memorial Ltd, Registered charity number: 311872) and non-executive directors of the not-for-profit limited company, limited by guarantee (Registered company number 523768). Teaching and support-services staff join the School from a variety of backgrounds and are united by a shared commitment to the School's vision and its values of Kindness, Spirit and Responsibility.
