The SABDEN Multi Academy Trust provides specialised education to young people with complex Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH). We are three special schools, a secure unit, a large countywide alternative provision, a vocational free school and one of five teaching schools within East Sussex. We strive to discover success through learning, self-belief and achievement. Pupils are empowered to take responsibility through a personalised curriculum supported by secure systems.

St Mary’s School, as part of the SABDEN Multi Academy Trust, is a 'Good' special school in Horam. As one of three special schools within the Trust, we make provision for children and young people with a range of social, emotional and mental health needs, all of whom have an Education Health Care plan (EHCP). We are ambitious in our drive to improve outcomes for all our learners. St Mary’s School offers the right candidate the opportunity to work in a lively, industrious environment.

The main responsibility of the post, under the direction of the Resource Coordinator, is to support the administration and finance systems across the school. The ideal candidate will have experience of working with finance systems including database systems, reconciliation and whole school documentation including reports to SLT and Trustees.  You will have good interpersonal skills and strong communication skills, both written and orally. You will need strong planning and organisation skills, along with good IT skills and have the ability to produce accurate and up-to-date records and reports as required.

The working pattern (working the contracted hours over 5 days per week), will be discussed at interview and agreed on successful appointment.

The successful candidate will be joining a Trust and school that continues to be ambitious in its drive to improve outcomes for our pupils. You will join a highly dedicated and professional staff team and be part of a supportive working and learning environment, where your professional development is highly valued.

If successful, you will become part of a very committed and hardworking team. While some experience of working within a school is preferable it is not essential.  We will provide you with high quality training and support.
