Finance Assistant
Role Overview & Responsibilities
Do you want to help make a difference to the lives of thousands of children? Then join our exceptional, friendly, professional finance team at Outwood Academy Portland. As a Finance Assistant, the successful candidate must have an excellent aptitude for numbers, good organisational skills, good attention to detail and be a confident communicator.
Whilst it would be helpful if you had knowledge of the education sector and experience of Finance, it is not a barrier to any applicant, as we will offer support and training to help you excel in this role. You will have the opportunity to study an accountancy qualification such as AAT, ACCA or CIMA from Level 2 up to Level 7. The role will give you a well-rounded introduction to the Finance function and provide the opportunity to develop both analytical and professional skills that will be of benefit to you in your future career. You will have the opportunity to help ensure the resources of the school are used in the most effective way for the benefit of the students.
The role will cover finance at both Outwood Academy Portland in Worksop and Outwood Academy Newbold in Chesterfield; the role is primarily based at Outwood Academy Portland with occasional travel to Outwood Academy Newbold, where mileage will be paid.
