Trust Accountant job summary
This is an exciting and highly responsible role for a qualified / part-qualified accountant in a fast moving, highly innovative and expanding Multi Academy Trust. The successful candidate will have responsibility for supporting the Trust’s Chief Financial Officer and will work alongside senior colleagues from the Trust’s Central Executive Team.
The Trust Accountant will be a key part of the Trust’s financial team. The main responsibilities of the post include accurate financial monitoring, maintenance of financial systems, supporting the audit process and helping to produce accurate accounts.

In this role you will have significant responsibilities, work with senior colleagues, contribute to projects across the Trust and most importantly make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children.
