Job overview
The Role
As Finance and Administration Manager, you will be expected to manage all aspects of finance across the school, whilst co-ordinating the work undertaken by the office staff (team of four). In addition, the post will assist the Senior Team in matters relating to Human Resources, where required. The successful candidate will work as part of the school community to help ensure all children are provided with the very best learning opportunities.

The school is located just off Junction 9 of the M5. Both the main school building and the Post-16 Centre are new, attractive and spacious buildings being built in 2013 and 2017 respectively. The learning and working environments are second to none. In addition, the school can offer:
- Local authority pension
- Access to a on-site gym
- Mentoring for new/existing teachers

- Opportunities for development and progression
- A challenging but positive and enormously rewarding work place
What We Are Looking For
With the introduction of this new post, we are looking to add to our committed staff with an individual that can demonstrate real financial management experience in a school environment. Whilst the successful candidate will have already managed complex school budgets, they will also be required to demonstrate an aptitude for managing the office team and the processes that they are required to undertake. Alderman Knight is vibrant school and an exciting place to work and we would hope that the successful candidate would fully embrace this, working flexibly and positively.
Our School
Alderman Knight Special School is an ‘Outstanding’ (2014) school catering for children between 5 and 19 who have moderate and additional complex learning needs. This includes children with Autism, social communication, emotional and speech and language needs. A small minority have more severe learning difficulties. Pupils’ have a wide attainment range. In the primary phase the majority of the pupils are working within P levels and KS 1 expectations. However, across the secondary phase, attainment can range from Y1 to KS3 expectations and pupils achieve a wide range of accreditations including Entry Level, Level 1 and 2 qualifications and GCSEs. Some students in KS5 have the opportunity to study Level 3 qualifications within the neighbouring secondary school. Unlike the majority of special schools, we can offer a mainstream model in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 with state-of-the-art specialist classrooms. Our Post-16 provision is a recent addition to the school, starting in September 2016.
Next Steps
If you decide to apply for the post we would like you to complete the standard TES application form and Supporting Statement. Please follow the online instructions.
