SENIOR BURSAR

Applications are invited for the post of Senior Bursar with effect from no later than October 2003. The Senior Bursar is the principal financial officer of the College, with responsibility for the management of its finances and of its stock exchange and property investments. The successful candidate will work closely with a Domestic Bursar who is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the fabric of the College, for the employment of certain staff and for residential conferences; and with a Junior Bursar who is responsible for Cambridge residential properties; and will also be expected to work closely with the Development Director in fund raising and related activities.

Applicants should be of outstanding ability, with established administrative and financial experience at a senior level, and with good management and communication skills. The ability to absorb and respond sympathetically to the ethos of a self-governing residential College, and to participate enthusiastically in its corporate life, will be very important. The appointment will be for three years in the first instance and thereafter with eligibility for reappointment every five years until the retirement age of 67. The Senior Bursar will be elected a Fellow of the College.

Salary and other terms and conditions of the appointment will be negotiable, but the salary for a full-time Senior Bursar would be likely to be in the region of £42,000 a year according to qualifications and experience.

Further particulars may be obtained from the College Secretary, Peterhouse, Cambridge, CB2 1RD. Applications, which should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae and the names of three referees, should be submitted to the College Secretary not later than 31 January 2003.

Peterhouse is an equal opportunities employer.
