Finance Assistant job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and customer-focused individual to join the Finance Team within The Learning Trust. This permanent role will primarily be based at The Learning Trust Hub, while also supporting finance operations across all schools within The Learning Trust.

As a Finance Assistant, you will play a key role in delivering a high-quality support service to students and staff. Your responsibilities will include resolving queries, assisting in the planning and management of school visits and events, collecting parental income and pursuing debts, assisting Belgrave Primary School with wrap around care and other finance tasks, assisting in the operation of the Purchase Ledger as required and helping with general office duties as required.

Experience of working in a busy office environment is desirable. A proactive approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively under pressure are essential.

You may occasionally be required to work at other schools within The Learning Trust, so flexibility and a collaborative mindset are important. On whichever site you are working, we believe that each of the Trust's schools are great places to work in. Results are strong (and improving), facilities are excellent, the students are highly motivated to succeed, and the schools are situated in great surroundings. Each of us is always striving to live by the values of each school and those of the Trust overall - namely "Nurture, Ambition, Excellence" and we do demand that all staff must be role models for those characteristics at all times.
