Job overview
Work for an exceptional Multi-Academy Trust.
A Top 5 MAT nationally with outstanding results across Bradford and Leeds.
Dixons are looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic trainee to join our Central Finance team who can put their skills to good use whilst developing their career. This is an opportunity for an aspiring accounting to gain exposure of both management and financial accounting as part of their training. We are looking for the best in their field and the rewards will be working within a team of highly professional accountant's in a fast paced environment.
The Dixons Academies Trust is built around the high-performing Dixons City Academy which opened 27 years ago as one of the first state-funded independent schools in the country. In recent years, our family of schools in Bradford has grown to eight, and now comprises three primaries, four secondaries and one all-through 4-19 school. It includes both sponsored turnaround academies addressing education failure, as well as brand new free schools meeting growing demand locally.
We have a solid platform from which we continue to build. Dixons’ first school in Leeds, Trinity Chapeltown, opened for primary school students in September 2017. Dixons Trinity Chapeltown secondary opening is planned for September 2018, followed by a shared Post 16 provision in Bradford a year later. We have achieved a great deal in a relatively short time, but such is the culture of expectation here that we know our greatest impact is yet to come.
Our mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage by establishing high-performing non-faith academies which promote learning, develop character, value diversity and build cultural capital. By the age of 18 we want every student to have the choice of university or a high-quality apprenticeship.
The successful candidate will:
• already be working towards a professional finance qualification
• have a proven record of working in a finance department of at least 2 years
• maintain effective relationships at a senior level
• have strong ethics and reliability
You will be expected to support the management and financial accounting team in their delivery of an excellent service to all academies within the Trust. You must be a committed and approachable individual and be adaptable and flexible in a busy environment.
The successful candidate will be pro-active and comfortable working with a wide range of people, as well as having strong communication and analytical skills. The role will report directly to the Senior Financial Controller for the Trust.

At Dixons, we are committed to making a difference where it matters most. We work to improve the future for thousands of children in the parts of the north of England where young lives are adversely affected by social and educational disadvantage.
We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should be able to fulfil their academic potential and go on to thrive amongst the demands and expectations of 21st century life.
We are ambitious for every child we teach and want to see a society that benefits from the contributions of our well-educated and empowered young people who come through our network of high-performing non-faith academies. We make a difference to young lives by being that difference and defying the disadvantage we see.
Founded by Dixons City Academy, the former City Technology College, our Trust has almost thirty years’ experience of running our own affairs. Although our original sponsor, Lord Kalms of the then Dixons Stores Group, still takes a keen interest in us, we are now self-sponsoring and independent. We remain true to our original aims, however, and our ambition remains the same: to transform education in our region.
Our family of schools includes primary, secondary all-through and sixth form. We focus exclusively on sponsored turnaround academies to address educational failure and on new free schools to meet growing demand. Our diversity is a real strength of our model, balancing common alignment with the autonomy to innovate. Our start-ups are all graded Outstanding and our sponsored academies have all climbed at least two Ofsted grades with our backing.
We have achieved a great deal in a relatively short time, but such is the culture of expectation here that we know our greatest impact is yet to come.
