Immediate School Finance Opportunities

We're regularly contacted by schools across Islington that need experienced finance staff at short notice.

This could be to cover sickness, provide additional support during busy periods or help a finance team manage increased workloads. We're therefore looking to register Finance Officers with previous school experience who are available for immediate temporary assignments.

Candidates must have:

  • A clear DBS

  • DBS registered on the Update Service, or issued within the past 6 months

  • Previous experience working in a school

  • Good Excel and finance system skills

  • Strong attention to detail

  • Good organisational skills

  • The flexibility to accept full-time or part-time assignments

Experience with PS Financials, FMS, Sage or similar finance systems would be advantageous.
