WeDoData are working with a highly regarded multi academy trust in Berkshire who have an exciting opportunity for a Finance Officer to join their supportive and inclusive community.

This is an exceptional MAT who are growing and looking to acquire several new schools within the next couple of years so it’s a great time to get a foot in the door with this organisation as there will be plenty of scope to develop and progress as the trust expands.

This role would suit someone who has been working in finance in education for the past 2-3 years, looking for a step up to a mid-level role with lots of opportunity to develop within a close-knit, growing team. The postholder will report to the Finance Controller, who reports directly to the Director of Finance.

* Experience of using SAGE 200 as well as other recognised ledger packages (desirable)

* Exceptional communication skills

* Exceptional attention to detail

The following would be highly advantageous:

* Relevant experience working in finance at trust level

In return, my client is offering:

* A competitive salary and benefits package
