Job overview

  

Finance Officer - Term time only 

Flexible working hours around 36 hours per week NJC Pay Scale 6 up to £26,277 (pro rata)

Woodcote High School has long been a top choice for parents in the Coulsdon & Purley area of South London. Located in a pleasant suburban setting on the borders of Surrey, Sutton and Croydon, the school has a rural feel.

Judged “good” by Ofsted in 2015 in all areas. Inspectors praised our students as “attentive, hardworking and practically always keen to learn. They get down to work fast and keep going diligently”. We are recognised by the DfE as providing outstanding value for money.

As a stand-alone Academy Trust we are directly responsible to the Education and Skills Finance Agency for financial probity. Hence we require an experienced finance professional to ensure that we meet all of our financial obligations and keep us in good fiscal health.

Our ideal candidate will be financially qualified perhaps with ACCA or at least accreditation towards this qualification such as AAT level 3. We are looking for someone who can manipulate spreadsheets and accounts packages with ease. Experience of working in a busy school environment would also be an advantage. In return we will offer a flexible and “family friendly” package which could be particularly attractive to “career returners” and colleagues with child care commitments.

If you have energy, ambition and a passion for accountancy, finance and compliance and are keen to work as part of a fantastic and supportive team, then we would like to hear from you. Successful applicants will join our team of specialists at a crucial stage of our journey to become "outstanding". 

Please telephone the school if you would like to arrange an informal visit before you apply. Applications are welcome from all applicants who feel that they can make a significant contribution to our finance and HR team.

You can download all the details and an application form for this post from TES HireWire or www.woodcotehigh.com (click on staff vacancies link at the bottom of the home page). Alternatively you can telephone or email the school.

About Woodcote High School

Since opening in 1957, Woodcote High School has constantly evolved and grown, whilst remaining at the forefront of educational developments in the area.

Exam results have for many years exceeded national and local averages, delivering a positive Progress 8 score. Other landmark achievements over recent years include significant building projects, the opening of a Sixth Form at the School, the opening of an international standard athletics facility (Track Coulsdon, in conjunction with South London Harriers and other funding partners) and the establishment of the Enhanced Learning Provisionfor mobility impaired students.

Woodcote is a busy community, with lots to offer our students. We encourage students to develop enquiring minds that in turn increases their enthusiasm for enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Those interested in music and performance deliver great seasonal productions, and benefit from a wide range of individual music tuition. Our world-class Track Coulsdon is at the heart of our great sport and PE facilities, and we have a full range of extra-curricular sport.

In the Sixth Form, in addition to the whole school enrichment programme, students have the opportunity to stand for student leadership positions, take part in charity events and lead assemblies for raising awareness on subjects they are passionate about. We also run a series of events where guest speakers are invited into school to speak to the student body.
