Our aim is for everyone in the National Church Institutions (NCIs) to feel that they belong, and are valued for who they are and what they contribute. Together, our people contribute in different ways towards our common purpose, whichever NCI they work in and whatever their background.
The Church of England is the largest single provider of education in England with one million students attending 4,700 Church of England schools. The Church of England Education Office brings together the educational work of the Archbishops’ Council with the National Society (Church of England and Church in Wales) for the Promotion of Education (“National Society”), including children & young people, schools, further and higher education.
The National Society and the Archbishops’ Council are part of the National Church Institutions (NCIs) which are national administrative bodies that work together to support the mission and ministry of the Church of England. The Finance Business Partner – Education works within the Finance department which is a shared services function working across the NCIs to provide a comprehensive, cost-effective finance service to each organisation.
We are seeking a dynamic, self-motivated, qualified finance professional who is able to develop strong relationships with the departmental directors and other staff across Education, understand the business and provide meaningful financial insight and advice to support the delivery of strategic and operational objectives.
You will act as Finance Business Partner for the Church of England Education Office, providing accurate and timely management information, budget monitoring, analysis and advice to budget holders and key stakeholders, fostering a culture of financial accountability and cost efficiency. You will also provide relevant challenge and insight to support decision-making and ensure that budgets and forecasts reflect objectives and strategy.
An effective communicator, you will be able to explain financial issues to non-finance staff and to help people to use financial information well. You will deliver relevant training and support across departments to help improve financial literacy and ensure compliance with relevant financial control procedures.
You will be someone who is always looking to improve processes and work smarter, collaborating with your finance colleagues to drive best practice in everything we do. You will look for ways to improve the quality of management reporting and ensure that your customers receive an excellent service. You will be a confident Excel user, able to use Excel to design and build management reports which can be quickly and easily produced. Experience of using and implementing other reporting tools would also be advantageous, as we seek to improve ways of working.
This post is part of the Finance Business Partnering team within the Finance team, with Finance Business Partners dedicated towards different NCIs. Whilst you have autonomy and focus on your ‘lead client’ you will also work collaboratively with the rest of the Finance team to develop a high quality finance service to the NCIs, including best practice internal and external reporting and a robust financial control environment.
Please note this role is being offered on a 12 month fixed-term contract (maternity cover).
The role is based in Church House, Westminster although there will be an element of Hybrid working. Further details will be discussed at interview.
To arrange an informal conversation, please contact natalie.stewart@churchofengland.org
