    • Assist with preparing and submitting DfE/EFA funding bids and coordinating multi-source funding arrangements.
    • Process and reconcile orders and invoices for consultants and contractors; resolve payment issues.
    • Work closely with Corporate Finance to review capital expenditure and project budgets.
    • Provide clear, timely responses to Member enquiries.
    • Support general budget management tasks as required.

    Preferred Skills & Experience

    • Advanced Excel skills, including managing, analysing and presenting complex financial data.
    • Strong organisational and prioritisation abilities, with experience working to tight deadlines.
    • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with strong numeracy and attention to detail.
    • Strong Excel skills (advanced formulas, data analysis, tracking).
    • Experience supporting budget management, financial controls, or capital project finance.
    • Someone organised, accurate and able to work to tight timelines.
    • Confident communicator who can liaise across finance, PMO, schools, and senior stakeholders.
