Client Requirement

Finding a skilled Director of Finance for a niche educational institution can be a complex and time-sensitive task.

The client, an independent school offering tailored support for students aged 11 to 16 with SEMH needs, required a consultant FD to optimise their resources and maintain high standards of care.

With a clear vision but limited internal capacity to identify the right talent, the Founder recognised the need for external recruitment support, explaining: “I knew we needed expertise to help us grow and improve our financial processes, but I didn’t know where to start. That’s when I reached out to FD Recruit.”

The school sought a Finance Director with extensive experience in consultancy and a proven ability to adapt to the unique challenges of SEMH-focused education. Time was of the essence, and the role demanded a candidate who could hit the ground running.
