Finance Business Partner

Job Role: Finance Business Partner

Location: Newham Community Learning Trust Central Office, Pretoria Rd, London E16 4NP (Eastlea Community School)

Closing Date: 22nd November 2026

Newham Community Learning is a Multi-Academy Trust serving children and young people in East London. We believe every young person deserves an excellent education, whatever their background. Our commitment to equality and social justice shapes how we lead, how we spend, and how we hold ourselves to account.

About this Role

We are looking for an experienced and detail-focused finance Business Partner to join our Trust Finance Team. Working closely with the Chief Finance Officer and Financial Controller, you will play a key role in delivering accurate and effective financial accounting processes across the Trust, supporting strong financial controls, compliance and high-quality financial reporting.

You will take responsibility for a range of monthly and year-end accounting processes, including balance sheet and control account reconciliations, accruals and prepayments, intercompany transactions, trial balances, cashflow forecasting and fixed asset records. You will also prepare payroll journals and reconciliations, support VAT and statutory returns, and contribute to the annual external audit process, including ESFA and DfE reporting, HMRC and pension-related submissions.

Working closely with our schools, you will help ensure financial transactions are accurate, timely and compliant with Trust policies and procedures. You will also liaise with our payroll provider and work alongside the CFO, Financial Controller and Procurement Manager to ensure financial processes are robust, consistent and delivered within required deadlines.

The role will also provide an opportunity to contribute to the continued development and improvement of our financial accounting systems and processes, including PS Financials.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has strong financial accounting experience and a sound understanding of accounting principles and financial controls.
  • Has experience of preparing and reviewing reconciliations, journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet accounts.
  • Is confident working with monthly and year-end financial processes and meeting strict deadlines.
  • Has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in ensuring financial information is accurate, complete and reliable.
  • Has experience supporting external audits, statutory accounts and financial returns.
  • Understands the importance of compliance, governance and financial procedures.
  • Has strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies and resolve issues effectively.
  • Is confident working with financial systems and spreadsheets; experience of PS Financials would be advantageous.
  • Can communicate effectively with colleagues across schools, senior leaders, auditors and external organisations.
  • Is organised, proactive and able to manage competing priorities in a busy finance environment.
  • Works collaboratively and is committed to providing a high-quality financial service across the Trust

This is an excellent opportunity for a finance professional with strong financial accounting experience who is looking to make a meaningful contribution to a growing Trust and play an important role in maintaining high standards of financial management and accountability.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
