Flexible working hours will be considered for the right candidate

We are looking to appoint a Finance Assistant with strong organisational and administrative skills, the ability to work well with students and staff, and a secure understanding of finance.

The Finance Assistant role is an important one, interacting frequently with suppliers, parents/ carers and students. The successful candidate will require the professionalism, organisational skills and attention to detail to support a wide range of stakeholders. Previous experience of work within a school context would be an advantage.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023 saw us being judged strongly good in all areas. Our current SIAMS grading is outstanding. Both inspections evidence our excellent quality of education and commitment to ensure all students flourish both academically and pastorally. We believe in educating the whole child and our Christian values of joy, perseverance, servant leadership, charity and forgiveness underpin everything we stand for. It is important that all of our staff, whether they are teachers or not, work closely with our young people and ensure that they are successful in all that they do. We are looking for staff who will always go the extra mile for our young people and believe that education happens both in and out of the classroom.

The Academy prides itself on an outstanding staff body - both teaching and associate staff. Chelsea Academy is a happy and thriving environment in which to work; we attract hardworking, committed and passionate staff, all of whom are keen to progress further in their careers. Staff development and wellbeing is an ongoing priority because without recruiting and retaining the very best staff we cannot deliver on our vision.

We also offer:

  • Exceptional professional development and career progression

  • Positive working relationships at all levels

  • An ambitious, dynamic and supportive Leadership Team

  • Private Medical Care Support Packages

  • Rigorous focus on staff wellbeing

  • Cycle Scheme
