About Us

We are an established consultancy company working in the education finance sector. In our 10th year of trading we are looking to grow the team once again.

We have many new projects on the horizon, so although we need someone to add support during this growth period, we are looking for you to continue your career with us. Therefore, although this is an Apprenticeship role, we are looking for the successful candidate to remain with us long after they gain their qualification(s).

We are a friendly team and have a positive, upbeat, happy culture. We pride ourselves on being flexible for our staff and provide a good work life balance, but in return we want commitment and passion.

We have offices in East Malling, however this role will be based at your home address and will require regular travel to clients’ premises. Mileage will be reimbursed to you at the HMRC rate.

The Role

As an Apprentice with EduFin, you will gain fantastic insight and experience into the education finance sector whilst we support you to become AAT qualified.

The AAT qualification is one of the most recognised in the Finance industry and could lead to you studying for your ACCA or equivalent through us if you so wish.

You will be supported through your training with the firm; shadowing our consultants on site to start with and then being able to assist us with finance assistant roles; working your way up to consultancy days as you gain experience.

Some days will require home working therefore a high level of self-motivation is required.

We also run a Helpdesk and have designed various software packages; so, if you like IT as well as finance then you will never be bored with us!

The Person

Due to this being an apprentice role there isn’t a list of skills that we require or desire you have.

We are simply looking for someone with a great work ethic who is confident in face to face situations and wants to learn what we do!

There is great satisfaction from our work, and we pride ourselves on delivering the best possible service to all of our clients – so this must be important to you also.

As a member of the EduFin team you will be expected to present a professional image of yourself and the company at all times.

You will need a clean driving licence and access to a vehicle. You will also need a clean enhanced DBS check which will be initiated by EduFin at the time of employment.
