Finance Officer | Outstanding Primary School | Wandsworth

Marchant Recruitment
London

Are you an experienced finance professional looking to bring your skills into education? An Outstanding primary school in Wandsworth is seeking a dedicated Finance Officer to join its experienced business support team from October Half Term 2026.

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

  • Managing income, including trips, lettings and parental payments

  • Assisting with payroll administration and pension documentation where required

  • Liaising with suppliers, contractors and external finance providers

  • Ensuring compliance with financial procedures and audit requirements

The Successful Candidate

The school is looking for a well-organised and detail-focused individual with previous experience in finance, accounting or business support.

Strong numerical skills, excellent attention to detail and confidence using financial software and Microsoft Excel are essential. Experience within a school or academy would be advantageous but is not essential, and applications are welcomed from candidates looking to bring their finance expertise into education.

Salary & Benefits

  • £32,000 – £38,000 per annum

  • Full-time, permanent position

  • October Half Term 2026 start
