At PDET, our core vision is for every child within our Trust, to experience an excellent education and realise their God-given potential to flourish. The role of a Finance Business Partner at PDET is essential to this, to provide high quality financial and commercial advice, support and control to our schools, ensuring the effective allocation of resources and funding, to contribute to overall school and pupil success.

About PDET Finance
PDET’s central finance team is made up of 2 separate but interrelated teams. The group finance team of 6 colleagues is led by the Head of Finance and is responsible for ensuring the financial control environment is maintained and improved. Within this team is a treasury function of 2 colleagues that manage a single bank account. The finance business partner team, where this role will sit, is the other finance team and currently comprises 6 colleagues who support 20 academies.
As a Trust of 33 primary schools, we educate over 6000 children. A number of our schools are very small, and this means we need to be smart with the resources we have at our disposal. Recruiting roles like this provides PDET with the best tools to support all our academies, all our staff and all our children.
If you feel you have the suitable skills and experience to make real change, contact us today! Please see the attached Job Description for more details about the responsibilities and specifications of this role.

About Peterborough Diocese Education Trust
- Type
- Multi-academy trust
Peterborough Diocese Education Trust (PDET) is a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) that was created in 2014 to be the ‘home for church schools’. It is currently made up of 33 academies; 30 academies are in Northamptonshire, one in Rutland and one in Peterborough.
Our primary academies deliver education to 6000 children of all faiths and none. Many of our staff would not describe themselves as regular church attenders, however, they feel that they are able to subscribe to the values that we consider important to achieving outstanding education within a distinctly Christian ethos.
We believe children flourish in our schools if the adults are flourishing. Therefore, supporting and developing our staff is a key priority. We regard this as a strength of our Trust.
We believe in the infinite worth of each person: children deserve the very best education and staff deserve support to deliver this.
