We wish to appoint an inspirational and highly motivated Finance and Payroll Manager to make a real impact in this rapidly improving school. Over the period since our last Ofsted inspection in November 2015 we have made significant progress. A new Headteacher and thirteen new teachers (including seven NQTs) took up post on 1st September 2017, and four new senior leaders took up post on 1st January 2018. With solid foundations now in place, the opportunity to play a significant role in leading the school back to ‘Good’ and on to ‘Outstanding’ is both exciting and realistic. Our financial audits over the last three years have been outstanding and we wish to appoint a highly skilled colleague who will support us in delivering at least the same outcomes. 

This is an outstanding opportunity for a qualified, or part qualified accountant to join our dynamic and forward thinking team. We are looking for an individual with a strong background in financial management and accounting, with experience in all of the core areas of finance, including:  

• Accounts payable 
