Are you a Finance professional, seeking that perfect part time job which fits around the school run or other personal responsibilities?

As our Finance Business Partner, you will join our friendly and experienced Finance Business Partnering team, supporting the Deputy Head of Finance in delivering timely and accurate reporting and planning. You will collaborate with managers across the Group to achieve strategic objectives by providing high-quality advice, direction, and insight.

The working hours for this role could work around the school run or other requirements, and this will be discussed at interview. On successful completion of the probationary period, we can also offer hybrid working opportunities.

This role entitles you to fantastic benefits, including a highly competitive Local Government Pension Scheme and above-statutory annual leave that rises with continuous service plus college closure days over the Christmas period which are not deducted from leave entitlement, plus the option to purchase up to 5 additional days. You also get access to a range of professional development opportunities and discount schemes, including schemes that give you discounts at a variety of shops, restaurants, and more.
