Are you looking for a role where you will genuinely make a difference? Mason & Dale are partnering with a dynamic and growing organisation within the education sector. We are seeking an Administrator to support the finance team and join a high-functioning, fast-paced office where the team gives 110% and supports one another every day. This is a 12-month maternity cover, with the potential to be extended. The team invests heavily in its people; many staff progress into new roles based on their strengths, and this position offers genuine long-term opportunity within the wider administration team.
About the Role
This role is not suited to someone seeking a pure finance career; it is an administrative role within a finance team, with future progression into wider office administration. This role blends finance processing with general office administration. It is not a traditional finance-only role - instead, you will work within the finance team while also supporting the wider office with day-to-day tasks, parent communication, and student interaction. You will receive full training on internal systems and work closely with the Finance Manager. After the maternity cover period, the role will transition into another administrative position within the office (e.g., Admissions, Exams, Trips, Office Administration), depending on your strengths. This role suits someone who is organised, proactive, detail-driven and confident working in a busy environment.
