Delta Academies Trust
Delta Academies Trust are looking to appoint a Finance Manager to join our Trust in January 2027 or sooner if possible, on a full-time, permanent basis. This role is based at Head Office in Knottingley.
Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.
Your New Role
As a Core Finance Manager, you will be committed to providing and leading high standards within the Finance Team, supporting and providing guidance to a number of primary/secondary academies in their financial management. You will be responsible for ensuring each academy abides by the Trust’s financial regulations and that they provide timely management information in a prescribed format to stakeholders. You will have the ability to communicate effectively and provide expert professional advice to ensure effective finance systems and procedures are operated across the organisation.
If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position, then we would very much like to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
