Wandle Learning Trust was founded in 2018 and is now a family of five schools. Unique to our Trust is the strong collaboration with Wandle Learning Partnership, which is home to our Teaching School Hub, English Hub and Maths Hub and our not-for-profit phonics programme, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Our aim is to ensure that as a result of attending an academy in the Trust, every young person will be inspired and empowered by their education; inspired to build a purposeful and fulfilling life and empowered to make a valuable contribution to the world around them.
We are now recruiting two Finance Officers to join our Central Team, working across designated academies in the Trust to support the Headteachers in the financial operations of their schools. You will be the schools’ primary point of contact on all financial matters, including the management of day-to-day income, purchasing and expenditure.
The ideal candidates will have experience of working in a finance environment (preferably in the education sector) and be committed to delivering work of a high standard with good attention to detail. With good team working skills, the ideal candidates will have a proactive approach to managing their workload and be skilled in building relationships.
It’s an exciting time to join the Trust during a period of growth; we need a strong Finance team to support and enable the Trust’s expansion plans. In return for your commitment, we offer a generous staff benefits package and a commitment to career development through funded chartered accountancy study support. This role is being recruited to on a career grade, with the potential to progress through the grade upon successful completion of exams, performance appraisals and progressing on to more advanced financial duties within the schools/Trust.
The closing date for applications is Friday 12th July at 12pm.
We reserve the right to close these vacancies early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, interested candidates are advised to submit their applications as early as possible.
Interviews will take place during w/c Monday 15th July 2024.

We are now a family of five schools comprising our founder schools plus three further primaries, Ravenstone Primary School, Paxton Academy and Thomson House School.
Unique to our Trust is the strong collaboration with Wandle Learning Partnership, which is home to our Teaching School, English and Maths Hubs and sector leading phonics programme, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Collectively we are united in the belief that there is no more important role than making a positive difference to children’s lives.
Our aim is to ensure that as a result of attending an academy in the Trust, every young person will be inspired and empowered by their education. Inspired to build a purposeful and fulfilling life and empowered to make a valuable contribution to the world around them.
As a Trust we believe in Educating for life, ensuring that our children are prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Each academy will aim to achieve an outstanding judgement from OFSTED at the earliest appropriate point and be contributing to delivering world-class education within the Trust.
