Due to the upcoming retirement of our Finance Manager, after 26 years of being with The Wyvern, we have an exciting opportunity to join our wonderful Admin Support team.
You will work closely with our School Business Leader in ensuring the school's finances are well looked after. Your key responsibilities would be:
1. Assist SBL in maintaining and monitoring all budgets and presenting regular management reports to ensure efficient and effective control of income and expenditure.
2. Ensure that the school complies with statutory requirements from the DfES, KCC, Governing Body, and other agencies.
3. Prepare, implement, and reconcile all financial transactions relating to the school’s income and expenditure to ensure compliance with legal requirements and KCC Financial Regulations.

12. Support SBL in preparation for financial audits and all statutory returns.
