Due to a retirement within our Finance team, we are currently seeking to recruit a Senior Finance Assistant, with excellent ICT, numeracy, organisational and interpersonal skills, to start as soon as possible.  The postholder will support the wider Finance Team and Finance Manager in delivering an effective finance service to the school.

The Weald is a high achieving, popular and oversubscribed 11-18 comprehensive school and sixth form college, situated in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, 10 minutes from Horsham, 35 minutes from Guildford and Brighton, and an hour by train to London.  The school has an excellent record of academic and pastoral achievement and we pride ourselves in creating a caring and respectful ethos where every child is important. Last summer, our A-level results placed us as the best 6th form provider in West Sussex; at GCSE our students achieved almost half a grade higher than their expected outcomes.

The closing date for applications is 4pm on Wednesday 10th September 2025

Please note that interviews will be held on Tuesday 16th September 2025.

Applications should be made by downloading and completing our application form (please see attachments below) and emailing it to jobs@theweald.org.uk
