Are you looking to start a successful career in finance, where you can earn while you learn and make a real difference in the education sector?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated and professional team at Endeavour Learning Trust, where we are committed to maximising resources to provide the best possible education for our pupils. As a Finance Apprentice, you will play an important role in supporting the financial operations of the Trust, gaining valuable experience while working towards a recognised finance qualification.
Apprenticeships are funded work-based training programmes and you will receive training to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. The Apprenticeship will be a combination of training on-the-job and external training with the chosen provider. Based at the Trust’s Central Team and working closely with our experienced finance professionals, you will contribute to the smooth running of finance processes across all schools in the Trust. You will assist with a variety of tasks including processing invoices, reconciling accounts and maintaining financial records. You may also have the opportunity to visit other schools within the Trust to gain insight into school-based financial administration.
We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic, and highly motivated individual with a keen interest in developing a career in finance. You will be reliable and well-organised, with excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills. Above all, you will be eager to learn, open to feedback, and committed to delivering a high standard of service.
If you are excited by the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution behind the scenes—while gaining valuable qualifications and experience—we would love to hear from you.
