Finance Business Partner job summary
The Sir John Brunner Foundation is looking to appoint a Finance Business Partner to join the central team. This is a new role, established following a reorganisation to a centralised Finance shared service and business partnering model.
Pivotal in ensuring effective Financial planning and organisation with the objectives of the Foundation, the Finance Business Partner will work within a centralised Finance team, providing a critical link between the Finance function and the nominated academies.
In joining a welcoming, experienced and professional Finance team, the successful candidate should expect to manage all aspects of financial planning and organisation to facilitate the delivery of the Foundation’s strategic priorities. You will be an experienced Finance practitioner who is able to work proactively, communicate effectively and provide expert advice and guidance to managers. You will be enthusiastic, always work to the principles of best value for public money and strive for continuous improvement, thereby contributing directly to the success of the Academies, children and families we serve.
Candidates will have solid expertise in finance where experience of delivering financial efficiencies and driving operational change can be demonstrated. Prior experience in the education sector is not a pre-requisite and applications are encouraged from candidates and commercial, charitable, private or public sector.
This is an exciting time to be joining our Multi Academy Trust, of three High Schools and a Sixth Form College, which collectively educates over 4300 children, and employs over 450 professionals, as we begin to centralise and raise the profile of our professional services.
Each of our good and outstanding academies operates at the heart of their local communities. The Foundation’s offices are based at Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College campus set in beautiful grounds. The other Academies, The County High School, Leftwich; Middlewich High School and The Macclesfield Academy are all based within Cheshire. Regular travel to the nominated academies will be required.
Hours available: up to full time (37 hours per week, all year round).
If you have the enthusiasm, experience and skills to succeed please view the job description and person specification.

Interviews are likely to be held on w.c. 23 September 2024. You are encouraged to submit an early application, as the Foundation may decide to close the advert early.
