Thank you for your initial interest in the above post. In this pack you will find detailed information about the post including a full Job description.
We are seeking to appoint a proactive, flexible and customer focused Procurement Officer to join our central Trust Finance team. This is a varied and rewarding role, providing high quality support across all Trust schools.
Working closely with the Chief Financial Officer, you will play a key role in ensuring all schools are fully supported with their day to day finance needs. You will be the first point of contact for staff and students, helping to resolve issues, maintain systems and support the effective use of technology to enhance operational efficiency.
This role requires someone who can build positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, and is committed to delivering a consistent and high standard of service across the Trust, so flexibility and a collaborative mindset are important. No two days are the same, and you will need to be adaptable, organised and confident working both independently and as part of a wider team.
Training and development will be provided as part of the induction process.
We believe that each of the Trust's schools are great places to work in. Results are strong (and improving), facilities are excellent, the students are highly motivated to succeed, and the schools are situated in great surroundings. Each of us is always striving to live by the values of each school and those of the Trust overall - namely "Nurture, Ambition, Excellence" and we do demand that all staff must be role models for those characteristics at all times.
I do hope, having read this pack, that you feel excited by the role and will apply early for this post. For an application form and full information about the position, please visit the ‘Join Us’ page on The Learning Trust website: https://www.tltrust.co.uk/join-us and apply through ‘MyNewTerm’.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 9am on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
Interviews: Week commencing 2nd November 2026.
I really do hope that you are interested in applying for this post and I thank you in advance for all the work you will put into your application - I know just how much work it will entail!
