Job overview
Skinners' Academies Trust is seeking to appoint a highly efficient and experienced Payroll and finance Officer to cover a maternity leave for the Skinners' Academy, Hackney, taking responsibility for the effective operation and management of the payroll function.
A hybrid/flexible working arrangement with a preference for the post-holder to be willing to commute to one of our Tunbridge wells academies on a regular basis.
Role purpose
The role advertised is primarily to support the finance function of Skinners’ Academy Hackney, an academy within Skinners’ Academies Trust. The role would report into a small central finance function, based in Tunbridge Wells. There would be no requirement for the post-holder to be based in Hackney.
While this role can offer hybrid/flexible working arrangements, it would be preferable for the postholder to be willing to commute to one of our Tunbridge Wells academies on a regular basis as well as potentially requiring occasional ad-hoc visits to Skinners’ Academy Hackney.
This position is advertised as Maternity Cover, although there may be the possibility for a permanent role upon successful completion of the term. The role commences 1st September 2024 (or as soon as is possible after this date). The role is anticipated to be full-time, although part-time applications will be considered.
The closing date for applications is 12pm on Wednesday 21st August. Interviews will take place w/c Monday 26th August 2024.
We reserve the right to make an appointment in advance of the closing date, so early applications are encouraged.
For more information about this position, or to have a confidential discussion about the role, please contact Mr Jamie Owen, CFO of the Trust on 07964 722 793 or email jowen@satrust.org.uk.
Skinners’ Kent Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal record check via the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be undertaken for the successful candidate, including a check of the DBS Children's Barred List. All applicants must be willing to undergo safeguarding screening appropriate to the post, including checks with the DBS and at least two satisfactory references.
It is an offence to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
