What skills and experience we're looking for
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Administration Team as a Finance Assistant working with our Financial Controller and Finance Officer. Whilst this post is being advertised as full-time, we will accept applications from candidates interested in part-time hours who should state clearly in their letter of application what days/hours they are interested in.
Your key responsibilities will be to process and maintain accurate financial information, monitor and manage the procurement processes and process and record apprenticeship employer payments. Duties will also include assisting in the support of the cashless payment system and the administration of the learner financial assistance process.
As well as having previous experience in a finance or administrative role, you will possess excellent ICT and organisational skills and the ability to work on your own initiative and prioritise deadlines. Enthusiastic and self-motivated, you will be a team player with effective communication skills.

Our aim is to provide a world class experience to learners and staff.
We are situated close to Uttoxeter, a picturesque market town supporting a variety of independent shops, cafes and bars. The town is surrounded by characterful villages with an abundance of culture and attractions right on the doorstep. This great value location has quick links to major cities, high quality homes that allow younger people and families to get onto the property ladder and close access to the glorious Peak District.
We offer a benefits package which includes membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, Employee Assistance Programme (including financial guidance, legal enquiries, support for issues at home and at work), access to JCB’s dental scheme (monthly fee), free access to the academy’s gym, free on-site parking and Cyclescheme.
