We are delighted to be supporting The Grey Coat Hospital who are seeking a high performing and experienced person to join the senior leadership team as an Interim Director of Finance & Operations.

The aim of The Grey Coat Hospital is "to enable students to take charge of their learning, make decisions based on Christian values, live in the world as independent women and men and meet the challenges of the twenty-first century."

We look forward very much to meeting you and introducing you to our wonderful school.
