School Business Professional
This is a Federation post, not a Stedham only one. The Weald and Downland Schools Federation is Harting CE Primary School and Stedham Primary School, and the job works across both. Everything to do with applying goes to Harting, using the contact details further down this page.
The role takes overall responsibility for the day to day financial administration of the Federation. That means budget monitoring and reporting, forecasting and financial planning, invoices and payments, and looking after the online financial management systems. You would work closely with the Headteacher and the leadership team, and talk to parents, staff, governors, community partners and outside agencies.
It would suit someone organised, proactive and keen to make a real difference in a successful and welcoming Federation. Finance experience matters, and so does being a strong communicator and a team player. The Federation offers a supportive team, a committed leadership team and governors, and a real commitment to your professional development.
