Training:

The Level 2 Accounts/Finance Assistant Apprenticeship will take you 15 months to complete.

We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this apprenticeship through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices will attend Boston College fortnightly as well as study online materials during allotted time at work on alternating weeks.

Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace.

Training Outcome:
As the Trust grows, it is expected that the Finance team will also expand and as staff leave there will be the opportunity to progress for the right candidate.

Employer Description:
Children are at the heart of everything we do and we strive every day to add value to our schools to enable them to be even better places for our children and young people to learn and grow. We are proud that our trust serves a wide number of different communities and is made up of different kinds of schools. It's this diversity and difference that gives us our strength and broadens our knowledge base of what works best for children. As a Trust we promote the individuality of our schools and provide them with the freedom to develop their own strengths, distinct character and to meet the needs of their communities whilst at the same time seeking to maximise the benefits of being part of a larger network and organisation. Being part of a Trust gives our staff access to exciting professional development opportunities, gives children the chance to interact with others from different schools and provides challenge and support to school leaders through effective governance. We are driven by a passion to do our very best for the children in our schools and we know that by working together we can achieve things that we could not do alone.
