Finance Officer

The school is seeking an enthusiastic and capable individual to undertake this role.

The Finance Officer will report to the Business Manager and will lead on finance and payroll administration including processing supplier invoices and payments, raising sales invoices, performing bank reconciliations, credit control, distributing lunch vouchers and travel bursaries to eligible students, assisting with monthly payroll, preparing returns for pension schemes, and keeping the single central record and staff personnel files up to date.

Whilst this will form the core of the role, you will be working as part of a small team and as such might from time to time be required to cover for other support team members on reception or to help with other tasks in order to ensure the smooth running of the school, for example to cover for absence.

Working hours are 24 hours per week falling between 08:00 – 18:00, with exact hours to be agreed with the successful applicant. This is ideally a year-round post although we will consider requests to work on a term time plus basis. 

This post is an exciting opportunity for an individual with an eye for detail who enjoys accounting and wants to make a difference to the lives of talented young mathematical scientists from diverse backgrounds. You would work with passionate staff and teachers delivering one of the most exciting and successful educational visions in the UK. The successful applicant should have excellent organisational and time-management skills and the ability to prioritise their workload to ensure that deadlines are met, as well as to work autonomously and take initiative. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are also essential requirements. An accounting qualification such as AAT is highly desirable, but we will also consider candidates without a formal qualification who can demonstrate that they have the experience listed in the Person Specification in the Job Pack.

The post will commence as soon as possible.

King’s College London Mathematics School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure through the DBS.
