Finance & Operations Officer Vacancy

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, hardworking and positive individual to join our school in the role of Finance & Operations Officer. The role includes key financial responsibilities within the Finance department as well as specific operational tasks across the wider school.

The successful candidate will be joining a highly effective and welcoming team, and will be required to possess the right skills and attitude needed to support the smooth running of our financial and operational processes. We are seeking a candidate who ideally has previous experience of using the SIMS system, and, in particular, has a working knowledge of school financial practice and systems, for example FMS6 or PS Financials. You must be able to work confidently to manage key financial processes within the integrated double entry accounting system. Finance responsibilities include processing orders, creating journals and accurately recording income and expenditure.

St John’s Catholic Comprehensive School is a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) school; as such, our school site, including all caretaking, cleaning and catering provisions, is managed by a third party contractor, Kier Facilities Services (FS) Ltd. The school employs an ICT Network & Operations Manager who leads on managing the PFI contract in school. Our new Finance & Operations Officer will support this Manager with various operational elements within school, collaborating with the Kier FS team to arrange any necessary support to ensure the smooth and safe running of the school site.

The successful applicant should have excellent time management skills, be able to meet strict deadlines, be a team player and have a flexible approach to work within the changing needs of the school, as priorities could alter at short notice.

This role requires good organisation and attention to detail skills. Experience of working in a similar finance or operational role in an educational or comparable setting would be advantageous, however, training will be provided for the right candidate.

As with any school role, tact, diplomacy and confidentiality will be required. In addition, this role requires excellent verbal and written communication skills, together with sound ICT skills (full ICT training on the specific software packages used in school will be provided).
