Finance Manager

The Cabot Learning Federation is a mature multi-academy trust (MAT) of over 20 academies in the South West of England.

The fundamental mission of the CLF is that its work will bear the hallmarks of excellence in all that it does in supporting pupils to achieve their full potential.

We are now seeking to recruit a Finance Manager to join our expanding central finance team. This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive team, with responsibility for providing finance business partnering to a mix of primary and secondary academies.

What we are looking for:

Working closely with the Principal and Senior Leadership Team, you will be confident in presenting financial information to non-finance staff. To be successful in the post, you will have the ability to build excellent working relationships with both central and academy-based staff. You will be comfortable working with complexity, and able to analyse data to inform decision making. As part of the Central Finance Team, the role will include a broad range of duties but with a clear focus on budget setting and management accounts production.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager, you will provide professional capacity to the Finance Manager Team and support your academies in a varied and wide-ranging role, ensuring effective management and reporting. You will provide financial leadership to Principals and their Senior Leadership team, delivering advice and support in the resolution of financial issues. You will have the determination to improve processes, drive change and be prepared to challenge when required to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils.

The post is full time (37 hours per week) although we would be happy to consider applicants who would like to work 30 + hours per week.
