Required for September 2023

We have a fantastic opportunity for an established finance professional to join our friendly team, in the role of Assistant Finance Manager. This part time role is suitable for someone looking for career progression, or a return to the workplace, following a career break. Your responsibilities will be broad and engaging and include leading on income, head office budgets and supporting with our Trust wide financial reporting and budgeting. You will also have the opportunity to work closely with our finance managers and to deputise for them.

The ideal candidate will have a professional qualification in finance or school business management, coupled with a good level of experience, from previous finance related roles. You will already have experience of working on a busy team and a good working knowledge of finance systems and Excel spreadsheets. You will be able to effectively prioritise your own workload and have the ability to work under pressure and to meet deadlines. The Trust will consider applications from candidates who would prefer to work term time only.

We offer:

• a competitive salary and access to a generous pension scheme (LGPS)
• annual performance related pay increments (up to the top of your scale)
• 29 days paid leave, increasing to 32 days (at 5 years’ service) and 34 days (at 10 years’ service) – pro-rata for part time employees
• flexible working arrangements, including the opportunity to work from home, upon the successful completion of your probationary period
• access to our Trust’s family friendly policies including our life leave and career break policies
• opportunities for your own continued professional development, including support for external qualifications
• access to free on-site parking and our cycle to work scheme
• additional employee benefits and rewards including access to a 24/7 Employee assistance programme, and contribution to glasses for DSE users
• an excellent induction program within a friendly and supportive environment

The successful candidate will be based in our head office, at our Washwood Heath Academy site, but will need to be mobile to visit other academies.

NB - CV’s will not be accepted

Informal conversations are warmly welcomed.
