Finance Assistant - Part time.
Required for Sept 2025

18 hours per week. Term time + Inset + 2 weeks.
We are a busy, vibrant, and happy school – academically successful but driven to achieve much more. We believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both. We believe that qualifications are what girls get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping the people they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do.
At the Folkestone School for Girls, girls do not complete an excessive number of qualifications. This allows them not only time to focus efforts on achieving the very best grades within these, but also time to participate in co-curricular activities and interests, both at school and at home. There is time to spend with friends and family and time, too, to just be a child. A justifiable balance between intellect and character.
We seek to appoint a detail oriented, dynamic problem solver with strong mathematical skills for July 2025 to join our vibrant and successful team. The successful candidate will be responsible for assisting the finance officer, the administration of orders and budgets, and assisting with school based financial administration as required. Ability to use IT systems such as Wisepay, Sage and SIMS would be an advantage, but not essential as training will be provided.
Applicants should have good interpersonal skills, be computer literate, numerate and have a flexible approach to work and the ability to work well under pressure.
You will need great people skills, resilience and enthusiasm and a capacity for sustained hard work. Perhaps most importantly, you will be positive, optimistic and have a can-do attitude to anything that will benefit FSG Girls.
You’ll also be able to get involved with our unique personal development and character education programme, The FSGBacc, which encompasses all sorts of activities – from our very own escape room or radio station through to our extensive Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme or our Combined Cadet Force Contingent! Sport, Music, Debate, Drama, Dance, Adventure – something for everyone!
You can find out all about our school and about our unique school vision and ethos via our school website.
