The Trust Finance Officer sits in the Trust's finance team at Character Education Trust and supports financial operations across its two schools. The core of the work is processing purchase orders and invoices, keeping financial records accurate, reconciling accounts, assisting with budget monitoring and answering queries from colleagues and suppliers. The post suits someone who enjoys working with numbers and can manage competing priorities with confidentiality, though finance or admin experience is advantageous rather than required. An enhanced DBS check and the right to work in the UK are needed, and visa sponsorship is not available.
