Finance and Administration Officer

Are you looking for a role where you can make a difference?
Concordia Academy is looking to recruit a Finance and Administration Officer for our brand new school which opened in September 2016.

We are offering you:

• an opportunity to build or develop your career in a vibrant environment
• potential future progression – the successful candidate will receive extensive training and would be considered for the School Business Manager role as the school grows
• the opportunity to work in a brand new state-of-the-art building
• the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new project and to help shape the direction of a new school

The role involves:

• performing a range of finance and administration tasks – see job description for more details
• using school finance and administration systems effectively
• being the first point of contact for the school (so requires excellent communication skills)
• working with the Regional Business Manager who will support and guide in areas of finance

As a new school we will only have two classes next academic year so this is a great time to join us. You will need a calm, helpful manner, a can do attitude, the ability to work under own initiative and be able to prioritise your workload.
