What skills and experience we're looking for

St Peter's is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection ('Good' April 2025 and SIAMS inspection ('Excellent' May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who 'live life to the full'. As a Beacon School, Relational and Restorative Approaches are key to how we educate for a wise, courageous and compassionate community.

Due to the retirement of the current post holder, we are seeking to appoint a solution focused, collaborative team player and leader who will be a dedicated Finance Manager to provide leadership to the Finance team.

The postholder will be responsible for managing the daily operations of the busy finance function and will report to the School Business Manager.

We have recently transitioned from our previous MIS system and experience of using our new system, Bromcom, would be an advantage, although not an essential requirement as training will be given.

Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.

If you're a proactive, detail-oriented finance professional who wants to be part of a school that truly values its staff and students, we'd love to hear from you.

What the school offers its staff

• a welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff
• a supportive working environment
• students with a drive to succeed

A willingness and ability to offer time and energy to our wellbeing programme and/or extra-curricular provision (which we believe adds significant value to our character based approaches to education, including our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors), will be taken into consideration for applications.
