CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Grade 14 (Local Government Service, £61,191 - £65,564)
Required September 2023
(Or earlier if a start date can be negotiated)
This is an exciting opportunity for a committed, dynamic, and innovative finance leader. Trustees are looking to appoint a Chief Financial Officer to this newly formed MAT (June 2023), initially with two large secondary schools. As part of this role the postholder will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Trust, as well as the business and finance lead in both schools.
The successful candidate will play a significant role in the strategic leadership and future development of the Trust. You will work to support the CEO in all aspects of financial management, including the development, implementation and maintenance of financial procedures and systems, and ensuring that all legal and governance requirements meet the requirements of the Academy Trust Handbook.
Candidates should have a strong, relevant background in finance and be able to demonstrate successful experience in budget planning, monitoring, and delivery as well as the production of final accounts, demonstrating value for money through the principles of economic, efficient, and effective use of resource. Experience in an education setting, particularly a single or multi-academy trust, is beneficial but is certainly not essential.
Completed application forms (from the relevant advertising platform, also available via Soar Valley College’s website) should be submitted by 9am 5 June 2023.
Interviews will be held on 13 and 14 June 2023.
