Whitegrove is a large, successful and over-subscribed primary school on the north-east side of Bracknell. We are seeking an experienced professional to join our talented staff team. The Finance Assistant will support the School Business and Operations Manager by carrying out finance duties relating to procurement, purchasing, lettings and other
aspects of finance and compliancy.

The successful candidate will have:

• experience of working in a finance role in a business or education environment
• good organisation skills, be methodical and have the ability to prioritise
• proficient IT skills and strong oral and written communication skills
• ability to relate to children and families and maintain confidentiality
• a proactive attitude approach to problem solving
• initiative and be unflappable under pressure in order to meet the needs of the school

In return we can offer:

• happy, hardworking, well behaved and motivated learners (and staff!)
• a caring and supportive team

This would be a perfect opportunity for someone wishing to step up from school administration or someone wishing to move from industry or commerce to a school setting. Some experience of working in schools or working with children would be an advantage. An apprenticeship may be available for the right candidate. Training and structured opportunities for professional development will be readily available.
