About this Role

The Athelstan Trust is a successful and growing Multi-Academy Trust consisting of six secondary schools and four primary schools in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. We currently employ over 800 people and educate over 5,000 pupils and plan to expand further over the coming years.

As a member of our Athelstan Trust, you will benefit from:

- - Being part of a trust that is absolutely committed to raising educational standards for all the children in our schools

- - Our commitment to developing the talents and skills of all our staff throughout their career

- - Being part of a caring, collaborative and excellent community

A secondment opportunity has arisen for an experienced school business professional to support Kings Lodge Primary School following the departure of the current Finance Manager.

The role covers finance, HR, procurement, compliance, SEND finance administration, and operational support, ensuring the school continues to run efficiently and in line with Trust expectations.

The Athelstan Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check along with standard pre-employment safeguarding checks. As the role includes working with children, it is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants must, therefore, disclose all spent and unspent convictions.

References will be sought for shortlisted candidates before interview. Please also be aware that you will be subject to an online check (see information below) and that you may be questioned about the findings of such a check at your interview.

We are a flexible working employer, and we are willing to make any reasonable adjustments you require during your interview so please ask us.

Candidates who would like to talk about this opportunity are invited to contact Danielle Gregory Evans, CFO, by email dgregory@theathelstantrust.org
