Homerton has a rich history. It was originally established in Homerton, London in 1768 as a dissenting academy. It later moved to Cambridge, and it received its Royal Charter in 2010, making it Cambridge’s newest and now largest College. The past 30 years have seen remarkable change as Homerton has rapidly developed into a forward-looking Cambridge College, fit for the twenty-first century, leading the way in relation to access and widening participation, education, innovation, diversity and inclusion, and encouraging a commitment to public service. It is one of the most diverse Colleges in the University. The College now seeks to appoint a new Bursar. The Bursar is the senior financial and administrative officer of the College and plays a pivotal role in the leadership of a diverse College community. The Bursar will support the College’s core mission of education, learning and research through the executive management of its finances, facilities, investments and commercial activity, thereby ensuring the College’s long-term financial sustainability. Ideal candidates will possess exceptional leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, embodying a service-oriented mindset along with strong business acumen. They will have experience in building external relationships and be able to blend the drive for generating income with delivering charitable purpose. Successful candidates will demonstrate their ability to plan for growth and maximize team performance while building effective relationships with fellows, staff, students, and contractors. It is essential that the appointee be a strong team builder. Candidates may come from a range of backgrounds: the most important thing is that the appointee is a team player, be able to operate strategically across the College and value the educational and academic work of the institution. Homerton has a commitment to being innovative, globally minded and cutting-edge.
