Full Job Description

  • The Deputy Director of Finance leads the centralised Trust finance function, with team members based both in the Central Office and in our schools, delivering an effective finance service across the Trust, and ensuring a robust system of internal financial controls. The role demands an inspirational leader who supports, develops and encourages members of the team to be their best.
  • The role requires a technically strong financial accountant who also has a broader clear, strategic understanding of how an effective finance function interacts with all the different areas of the Trust to support and enable delivery of the Trust's vision and strategy. Due to the nature of the role, work hours may vary and will sometimes include early evenings due to meetings or events, therefore an ability to work flexibly is needed. Although the Central Trust Team is based at the Trust Office in New Cross Gate, Lewisham, there will be some travel to all Trust schools, and remote working is possible.
