About the Trust

This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 17 unique SEND and mainstream academies.

We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

Please see a copy of our most recent prospectus, for further information.

Our Opportunity

The role will include undertaking a range of financial processes - placing and processing orders of supplies and equipment, maintaining records, reconciling accounts and handling/banking cash.

As part of a busy team your role will include all aspects of office administration such as reprographics, filing, word processing and data input on the school’s computer systems.

This is a ‘front of house’ position which will include reception duties. You will be dealing with a wide range of enquiries from parents, pupils and visitors, supportively and positively, so you will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

The post demands organisation, flexibility, enthusiasm, an ability to prioritise and an ability to deal with confidential material. It is essential that you can work equally well as part of a team or alone and are able to meet deadlines, using initiative and time management skills.

Whether you have experience of working in a financial or a school office environment, you must be able to provide our children with aspirations for their futures along with promoting a positive culture in everything you do.
