Job overview
Hybrid working (2-3 days based at Head Office)
At Academy Transformation Trust, we’re on a mission. We want to transform education, performance and lives, and we’re giving young people the best possible start to their careers across our fast-growing network of academies. A not-for-profit trust, we focus on our students’ interests in everything we do, and we are passionate about using innovative technology to accelerate learning. We work inclusively within our communities, embracing the varied localities we serve while sharing our common vision and values. At ATT we are passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and welcome all applications.
As our new Head of Finance, you will be a proven high class finance professional who is innovative, meticulous, measured and with an unrelenting desire to deliver the best possible service to all Academies and the central team within ATT.
ATT's finance function is going through one of its most exciting periods since the formation of the Trust. It is moving into the closing stages of its First Class Finance change programme, that has already seen it refresh policies, processes and procedures this academic year – with implementation of a new finance system to come this summer – which is moving ATT finance to the cutting edge for finance support within the Multi Academy Trust sector.
If successful in being appointed to this role, you will ensure the new finance system is embedded, new processes are successfully implemented and the Trust oversees a successful year-end between September and December 2024. Furthermore, the Trust is keen to pursue an ambitious growth strategy, so the newly appointed Head of Finance will play a key role in moving ATT to the next stage of its evolution.
In return, we offer to you:
- An amazing people development offer through our ATT Institute providing you with continuous self-development.
- A comprehensive package of benefits via our benefits platform. You will enjoy a generous pension scheme, shopping discounts, cycle-to-work scheme, cinema tickets and an employee assistance programme.
