Are you adaptable, organised, willing to learn, with experience of managing budgets and order systems?

As a result of the retirement of our long serving Finance Manager, we are recruiting a new Finance Manager to join Flixton Primary School to provide finance leadership, support and guidance within our hardworking team.

The ideal candidate will have experience of schools’ finance and management, having worked in the education sector, but a desire to ‘learn the ropes’ and a capacity to acquire new skills is equally important. Our new Finance Manager will be committed to delivering work of a high standard with strong attention to detail. With good team working skills, the ideal candidate will have a proactive approach to managing their workload and be skilled in building relationships and managing their time, as well as a good sense of humour for those days when it doesn’t quite go to plan.

The school is currently in the process of introducing the Access Finance system to manage the budget, and training will be provided.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and a Children’s Barred List check.

Flixton Primary School aims to select all staff on merit, irrespective of race, sex, disability, age, gender reassignment, sexuality or other protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

We welcome applications from disabled candidates. If you have a disability, please indicate any adjustments we might make when applying in order to ensure that the shortlisting process is fair and meets your needs.
