The Organisation
ImpactEd Group exists to support our partners to make better decisions using high quality evidence. The Group consists of 3 discrete, but complementary, business units:
- ImpactEd Evaluation works with schools and organisations, such as multi-academy trusts and education organisations, to analyse the impact of programmes and interventions to help partners do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.
- ImpactEd Consulting offers strategic and operational support for its partners, to address challenges and underpin carefully managed growth.
- The Engagement Platform (TEP) measures school and teacher engagement,
to support sustainable working cultures.
The Opportunity
This is a new role in the central team at ImpactEd Group as part of the
Operations team. You will be supporting finance processes across all
three business units on a wide range of tasks and responsibilities. The
team is small and still forming; you will play an important role in
bringing our finance function in-house.
This role will suit you if you enjoy being buried in the detail; are
comfortable working with MS Office (especially Excel); have experience
of using an accounting package or similar (we use Xero) and enjoy
creating and improving processes. Your work will cover lots of small
tasks that need to be completed as efficiently as possible, for example
responding to partner financial queries or bank reconciliation, and
bigger projects, such as improving reporting processes; you need to be
comfortable switching between both types of work. You will also support
employee operations such as booking and paying for travel and elements
of event management.
If you want to work to support better use of data across the education
sector, we want to hear from you.
