This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a high level of financial, administrative and managerial skills to join a team intent on enabling a vibrant school to deliver outstanding education.
Along with your strong and clear interpersonal skills you will be able to demonstrate a track record in a relevant field of business, not necessarily education. A good understanding of the mechanics of business and accounting processes and records is essential, as is the ability to understand and evaluate accounting information and act upon it appropriately.
It is essential that the applicant is a supporter of independent education, who understands and is committed to promoting the Augustinian values and ethos of the School as enshrined in the School’s mission statement.
The closing date for applications is Monday 11th November 2024 at 8am.
For further information and an application form, please visit the Job Vacancies section.
Austin Friars is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service as well as any other checks appropriate to the post.
Application Requirements
* a completed application form (Parts A and B)
* a supporting letter of application (addressed to the Chair of Trustees)
(Please note that a CV is not required and will not be considered instead of an application form.)
The appointment will be subject to the satisfactory outcome of the DBS Enhanced Check. In addition to candidates’ ability to perform the duties of the post, the interview process will also explore issues relating to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
Candidates for interview will have the opportunity to have a tour of the School.
One referee should be the applicant’s current or most recent employer. Please note that references will not be accepted from relatives or from people writing solely in the capacity of friends. References will be sought prior to interview and the School may approach previous employers for information to verify particular experience or qualifications, before interview.
Where an applicant is currently working with children, the current employer will be asked about disciplinary offences relating to children and whether the applicant has been the subject of any child protection concerns and if so, the outcome of any enquiry or disciplinary procedure. Where an applicant is not currently working with children but has done so in the past, that previous employer may be asked about such issues.
All candidates invited to interview must bring documents confirming any educational and professional qualifications referred to in their application form. Where originals or certified copies are not available for the successful candidate, written confirmation of the relevant qualifications must be obtained from the awarding body.
Where the successful candidate has worked or been resident overseas in the past five years, the School will carry out such checks and confirmations as may be required in accordance with statutory guidelines. If relevant, the School will also verify the right of foreign nationals to work in the UK.
All candidates invited to interview must also bring with them:
* A current passport (if you do not hold a current passport, or you do not hold a British passport, then further evidence will be required as proof of the right to work in the UK)
* Driving Licence – photocard
