What skills and experience we're looking for

Our Trust Development Plan describes our aspirations for growth by increasing the number of academies within our Trust. To support and enable the Trust’s growth plans, we need to appoint a Head of Finance.

The successful candidate will be experienced in operating at a senior level, working with the Chief Finance and Operations Officer to develop and maintain a robust financial framework to ensure compliance with policies, procedures and best practice throughout the Trust.

The Head of Finance will lead the Trust’s Finance team to ensure high standards, effectiveness and efficiency in all of their operations. A strong leader, you will be skilled in achieving team objectives, boosting morale and developing staff to reach their full potential. You will need a flexible approach to your duties, dividing your time between strategic and operational issues based on the needs of the Trust.

What the school offers its staff

Wandle Learning Trust was founded in 2018 and is now a family of five schools. Unique to our Trust is the strong collaboration with Wandle Learning Partnership, which is home to our Teaching School Hub, English Hub and Maths Hub and our not-for-profit phonics programme, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Our aim is to ensure that as a result of attending an academy in the Trust, every young person will be inspired and empowered by their education; inspired to build a purposeful and fulfilling life and empowered to make a valuable contribution to the world around them.
