What skills and experience we're looking for
We’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in financial and administrative practice, but more importantly, someone who can use those skills with confidence and purpose. You will bring experience of managing budgets, handling financial processes or working within a busy office environment, alongside excellent organisational, numerical and IT skills. You’ll be someone who notices detail, manages competing priorities calmly and takes pride in getting things right.
While experience in a school or public sector setting is helpful, what will really set you apart is your mindset: you’ll be curious, reliable and quietly decisive, with the ability to interpret information, solve problems and keep systems running smoothly. You’ll understand the importance of safeguarding, confidentiality and professionalism, and be committed to continuous learning as part of a team that works together to create the best possible environment for pupils and staff alike.
(Job description/person specification attached)
What the school offers its staff

If you have a track record of great practice, embrace change (but only where there is proven impact) and can form strong, successful relationships with children and adults alike, come and join us!
