You will work closely with our schools and the Executive team to ensure compliance and risk management across the Trust.

In this pivotal role you will have accountability for Trust wide investment strategies, statutory compliance and multi million pound budget management.

In turn, we can offer you:

• A generous pension package through the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
• A Health Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme
• Training and development opportunities. All staff are encouraged to study further and the Trust will actively support relevant further qualifications through the apprenticeship levy
• A Trust and school culture of belonging, development and cultivating excellence through the GROW programme

You will be required to apply for an Enhanced DBS Certificate before commencing the role. You must be eligible to live and work in the UK and hold a current driver’s licence. As travel is required between sites, you will need access to a reliable means of transport in order to carry out your duties.
