The governors are seeking to appoint a Finance Officer and Wrap Around Care Administrator who is conscientious, well organised and highly motivated person to join our supportive, friendly and committed team.  The successful candidate will ideally have a knowledge and understanding of how school’s financial systems operate in regards to: raising purchase orders, timely payment of invoices, budget monitoring and reporting.  Experience of using E5 or other similar financial packages would be an advantage.  As well as having responsibility for the school finances, the appointed person will also be the first point of contact for the school’s growing Wrap Around Care provision and will be responsible for all administrative and financial tasks.  You will be working closely with others and therefore, being a positive, energetic and friendly person is essential.  There is also the need for excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to prioritise and to remain calm under pressure. 

This role would ideally suit someone with previous experience in a similar role or could suit someone with experience of working in an office environment and starting pay would reflect this experience. 

Blakedown is a church school and the candidate should be at ease with and promote the Christian ethos of our school.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment – this will be explored via the interviewing process.  The successful candidate will need to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Please return completed application forms directly to the school.
