About the Trust:
The Special Partnership Trust (SPT) is a group of schools that provide special education for pupils across Cornwall and Devon. We are a growing trust, currently made up of five schools and four Area Recourse Bases (ARB’s). The Trust has become a dynamic flexible organisation that evolves to ensure it adds value to the learners and staff within the academies/ARBs in the Trust and contributes to the improvement of standards of teaching and learning for all children with additional needs in educational settings across the region.
The SPT is an open-minded Trust, which will consider all opportunities and act on them to ensure it continues to deliver the Trust's vision, values, and ethos.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Finance Administrator to work within the Central Services team performing necessary duties to support business processes, compliance, growth and development.
