We are looking for a self-motivated individual, ideally with previous finance experience to form an essential part of our Finance team at Vita Multi Academy Trust. This is a part time position working 28.33 hours per week over 5 days. This is a “term time plus” contract, and the successful candidate will work 41 weeks per year, and will be responsible for the Trust’s orders, purchase invoices, payments and petty cash.

You will be a good team player, with strong organisational skills, able to prioritise tasks in order to meet deadlines. Ideally you will hold a relevant finance qualification such as AAT Level 2, however we may consider applicants without this provided that they have excellent administrative skills.

The Trust offers a supportive and rewarding work environment, with opportunities for professional development and growth. Additional benefits include free access to our on site gym, cake break every Friday morning and the opportunity to join the generous Local Government Pension Scheme.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools

We currently do not use AI tools in our recruitment processes; however, we understand that you may choose to use AI tools to help you with your application.

If you do, please remember:

• AI-generated answers can often be generic and impersonal, which may not accurately reflect your qualifications, skills, and experiences.
• AI-generated applications may lack the personal touch that human-written applications have, this may make you seem less engaged or interested.
• Ensure the information provided genuinely represents your own voice and experience.
• You must not provide false or misleading information.
• If you rely too heavily on AI you might not develop the necessary skills to communicate your experiences and qualifications effectively in interviews or other stages of the hiring process. This may make you come across to the interviewer as a different person to the one that wrote the application form, and you may not be successful in the interview.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks.
