Joining Netherbrook means being part of TEFAT which means that you would be part of a thriving, values led organisation where there are excellent opportunities to progress within the trust and to create links and network with the other 16 West Midlands TEFAT schools and to join the growing community of 36 TEFAT schools nationally.

At Netherbrook, our pupils are unique, vibrant and valued individuals who all make a valid and important contribution to school life. They are encouraged to be polite, happy and responsible individuals, who respect others and always try their best. Pupils are motivated and active learners, who aspire to achieve their full potential in all that they do.

They are approachable and supportive, and have a strong desire to ensure all our pupils leave Netherbrook equipped to be lifelong learners. Staff are open and professional in all that they do and work hard to deliver the best possible education for our pupils.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team of enthusiastic, hardworking and caring teaching and support staff, who work together to create a purposeful learning environment, where everyone can succeed.

We have a well-developed induction programme and we support new staff effectively, through appropriate training and the sharing of best practice.

Supporting the School Business Manager, the main duties will include:

• Raising orders and processing payments

A strong proven track record in finance administration, preferably in a school setting, and a good knowledge of school MIS and finance systems is desirable but not essential.
