King Alfred Trust is a multi-academy

trust formed in 2014. We currently have

two schools within the Trust – Pewsey Primary and King’s Gate Primary and

Puddleducks Nursery and Pre-School. We are seeking to appoint an

experienced, highly organised Chief Financial Officer to join the Trust. The role will be based in Pewsey but will

require travelling across both schools.

An

exciting opportunity to join our Senior Leadership Team as the Chief Financial

Officer has arisen. This role is pivotal to the success of the Academy, where

the successful applicant will take a strategic and business focused

responsibility for the Academy’s management of finances, administration and

personnel management. You will work closely with the Executive Headteacher and

Trust Board providing overall strategic and operational leadership, advice and

support in respect of the core business services of the Academy. You will be

responsible for preparation of the accounts and presenting them to the Board,

preparing for audit and submission of the regular returns and accounts to the

DfE in line with the requirements of the Academies Financial Handbook, of which

you will be expected to have strong knowledge. You will have experience working

within education or the public sector and have the ability to work within

a well governed, publicly accountable

environment that takes pride in providing quality education to all children.

The

successful applicant will be a superb communicator who can negotiate with

external organisations and manage internal teams across the Trust. Experience
