Mosaic Schools Learning Trust is seeking a reliable and organised Finance Assistant to provide high-quality financial administration support across the Trust. Working closely with the Finance Managers and Head of Finance, you will play an important role in maintaining accurate financial records and supporting effective budget management for our schools.
Key responsibilities include processing invoices and payments, managing accounts receivable and payable, maintaining records on the Trust’s finance system, supporting monthly financial processes such as reconciliations and VAT returns, and responding to finance-related queries from schools and external stakeholders. You will also assist with audit preparation and ensure all financial documentation is securely and consistently maintained.
We are looking for someone with strong administrative and IT skills, a high level of professionalism and confidentiality, and the ability to work accurately, independently and as part of a team. Experience in a finance or school environment is desirable but not essential.

Our work is underpinned by a strong moral purpose and our shared values of being respectful, resilient, and resourceful. We are passionate about diversity and recognise that everyone brings something unique to their role, regardless of any protected characteristics. We are committed to equality, fairness, and non‑discrimination across all recruitment and employment practices.

All appointments are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, along with other relevant pre‑employment checks, including an online search. References will be requested prior to interview for shortlisted candidates where possible and permitted.
The Trust reserves the right to close this vacancy earlier than advertised should sufficient applications be received; early applications are therefore encouraged.
