Wishford Schools is a leading group of independent prep and senior schools.

Varied in character but united in ethos, our schools understand where the true value of an independent education lies, and provide high-quality learning, outstanding opportunitiesand a happy, caring environment in which children achieve amazing things.

The group is highly entrepreneurial in approach and is expanding through acquisitions and developments.


We're looking for a motivated, entrepreneurial individual with 3 years' experience in Corporate Finance, Transaction Services or Audit to join our growing and dynamic team.


Working alongside the Group's senior leadership team, you will assist with the identification, assessment and execution of acquisitions and related projects as the group continues to expand.


The main duties of the role are:

  • Developing a thorough understanding of the dynamics of the education sector.
  • Researching and identifying potential acquisition opportunities.
  • Analysing financial statements, management information and market data to identify risks and opportunities and focus areas for due diligence.
  • Project managing transactions, including liaising with external advisers and due diligence providers.
  • Reviewing due diligence findings, summarising these and identifying areas for further investigation.
  • Preparing financial models, benchmarking operating assumptions to historical data, and commenting on the suitability of the underlying assumptions.
  • Reviewing legal documents such as sale and purchase agreements and completion accounts, particularly in respect of the apportionment of working capital.
  • Preparing presentations for the Board summarising opportunities, risks and due diligence findings.
  • Coordinating the preparation of postacquisition action plans and monitoring and reporting on their implementation.
  • Tracking and reporting on activity in the sector.
  • Maintaining meticulous records in the Group's online data room, including ensuring data security.
Familiarity with the education sector would be beneficial, but is not a pre-requisite.

The key attributes sought are a highly-organised, analytical approach, strong numeracy and presentation skills and the ability to work well as part of a team.
