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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
BOA Trust is seeking an exceptional and motivated Senior Finance Officer to join its dynamic finance team, working under the guidance of the Chief Finance Officer. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in the financial operations of a thriving multi-academy trust, supporting three innovative academies that are at the forefront of creative and academic excellence. This post will be a 1-year Fixed term Maternity cover position.
With responsibilities spanning financial management, reporting, audit, compliance, and administration, the successful candidate will contribute directly to the Trust’s continued success and integrity.
