We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, proactive and professional Finance Officer to support the finance function at Ellis Guilford School. We require an individual capable of creating well organised, structured routines to ensure that the workload of the Finance Team is carried out to a high standard of accuracy, in a timely and efficient manner and in accordance with the Trust’s financial regulations.
