About the Role
If numbers are your thing, we'd love to hear from you. At Oasis Community Learning, we are driven by a mission to help every young person and community member thrive and succeed, regardless of their background. As one of the UK's largest academy trusts, we support communities across the country through exceptional teachers, dedicated support staff, and talented professionals working behind the scenes.

We are seeking a Regional Finance Assistant to join our finance team supporting three academies across London. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, thrives on accuracy, and wants their work to have a meaningful impact.

Our finance function supports 56 academies and over 5,000 colleagues, making it a busy, varied, and rewarding environment. You will need to be organised, resilient, and able to maintain high standards while managing competing priorities. Most importantly, you will be a team player who enjoys collaborating with colleagues and solving problems.

In this role, you will support a wide range of financial processes including purchase and sales ledgers, bank reconciliations, payroll administration, balance sheet accounts, and transactional finance activity. Attention to detail will be your superpower as you ensure invoices are processed accurately, payments are made on time, and financial records are maintained to the highest standards.

The role is primarily home-based, with occasional visits to our London office at Devonshire House and academies across the region. This offers flexibility to work independently while remaining connected to a supportive and experienced finance team.

In return, you will join a supportive and purpose-driven organisation where your contribution truly matters. We provide flexibility, development opportunities, and the chance to learn from experienced finance professionals. Most importantly, you will know that the work you do every day helps create better opportunities for young people and communities who need them most.

About you
