Ivy Education Trust is seeking to appoint an experienced Finance professional with ambition, enthusiasm and ability to play a key role within our Central Trust Finance team. This newly defined role will play a key part in the current and future developments of the recently expanded Trust.
This role will not only lead on the promotion and delivery of good financial management across the Trust, but will support the CFO to develop the processes and systems within the central and school based teams. The post holder will operationally manage the central finance team and work with the CFO to strategically review and assess the financial health of the organisation.
In June 2022, the Ivy Education Trust was formed from the merger of its two predecessor trusts Estuaries Multi Academy Trust and Osprey Learning Trust. We are an eight school cross phase multi academy trust serving pupils and families in Teignbridge stretching from the market town of Newton Abbot through the coastal town of Teignmouth along the South West coast to the seaside town of Dawlish. This partnership represents a truly exciting opportunity for our schools, our staff and our pupils. Two strong multi-academy trusts becoming even stronger by merging into one Trust with a united vision and ambition for delivering high quality education across the communities that we serve.
The Ivy Education Trust works closely with all schools within the Trust and beyond. The Ivy Education Trust celebrates the diversity of each of its schools and is founded upon the alignment of vision and values that we all commonly hold to secure the best outcomes for our pupils.
The name of our Trust is inspired by the story of Dr Ivy Williams. Born in Teignbridge (Newton Abbot), in 1877, she managed what we would wish for all the children and young people of Teignbridge and surrounding area that we serve in our schools by fulfilling her childhood dreams and ambitions.
On 10 May 1922 Dr Ivy Williams became the first woman to be called to the Bar (formally recognised as a qualified Barrister of Law) of England and Wales.
The story of Dr Ivy Williams reminds us of the famous quote from Michelangelo: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”
The Ivy Education Trust supports and challenges all members of our learning community to dream big, aim high, and achieve more than they ever thought was possible.
If you share these visions and aspirations, then we very much welcome your application for this post.
