Our vision is to create a group of exceptional schools that radically improve students' life chances. Cockburn Multi-academy Trust currently comprises five schools: three secondary, one primary, and one infant school. While our schools are at different stages of their journey towards excellence, it is the incredible staff teams that make the difference.
Cockburn MAT is a growing trust, having expanded from 1 to 5 schools in the past five years, and from 5 to 8 schools this year alone.
As the trust continues to grow, so does the finance operation, and the central finance team will also expand. The successful graduate may, upon qualification, progress to a managerial role within finance to support future graduates as the trust develops.
The candidate will join the central finance team and support individual schools within the trust. This role offers an opportunity to gain first-hand experience of how both schools and central finance operate and what drives them.
You will be supported to achieve your accountancy qualification, with training, support, and challenging assignments provided.
