ABOUT YOU

Ideally, you’ll be someone with strong leadership skills, a keen eye for detail, and a solid understanding of student funding within a further education setting. You’ll be confident managing people, systems, and processes, and you’ll know how to balance operational delivery with a focus on student-centred service.
You’ll bring at least two years’ experience in financially supporting learners in an FE environment, along with experience of managing financial responsibilities, including audits. You’ll have worked in a customer service-focused setting and will be used to providing effective support and guidance to students. You’ll have experience of line managing staff to achieve targets, preferably within an educational context. A key part of this role also involves analysing and presenting statistical data, so you’ll need a strong track record of producing clear, informative reports to support decision-making.
You’ll have a good working knowledge of government funding streams such as the Learner Support Fund, Advanced Learner Loans, or similar schemes, and you’ll feel comfortable interpreting and applying funding guidance. A sound understanding of audit requirements and financial accountability is essential, as you’ll be responsible for ensuring public funds are well-managed and compliant with external standards.
As a team leader, you’ll know how to motivate and support staff, conduct appraisals, manage performance, and identify training needs. You’ll create a supportive, fair working environment where your team can deliver high-quality services that make a difference to students.
Above all, you’ll be committed to helping our students access the support they need to succeed. You’ll take pride in leading a service that has a direct impact on the student experience, and you’ll bring a practical, organised, and student-focused approach to everything you do.
