This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a high-achieving school where financial excellence helps create the very best learning environment for pupils. Supporting the School Business Manager, you'll play an important role in managing the school's day-to-day finances while becoming part of a friendly and collaborative staff team that values every member of its community.

Whether your background is in education or the wider finance sector, the school offers excellent training, long-term career development and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to a thriving school.

The Role

The Finance Officer will support the efficient financial management of the school, ensuring robust financial processes are maintained and deadlines are met.

Responsibilities include:

  • Processing purchase orders, invoices and supplier payments

  • Reconciling accounts and maintaining accurate financial records

  • Supporting budget monitoring and financial reporting
