Cambridge, United Kingdom Long Road Sixth Form College Full time

At Long Road we are committed to sustainability and playing our part in addressing the climate crisis. As well encouraging environmentally friendly activities, such as recycling, we embed environmental education across the curriculum. If you’re interested in making our community a greener place you can get involved in the Sustainability Committee and complete the nationally recognised Carbon Literacy programme, gaining certification and qualifying as trainers in your own right.

Working alongside the Senior Finance Officer the apprentice will learn all aspects of a busy finance function, including; bookkeeping, financial reporting, invoicing, credit control and office administration.

**Training to be provided**

You will undertake the “Assistant Accountant” Apprenticeship (an Advanced Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning as part of their Flexible Apprenticeship Programme.

Assessment will be by an “End Point Assessment” and will be graded “Pass” or “Distinction”. This will include two elements:

- A Professional Discussion. This will include a series of questions allowing you to to display the knowledge and experience you have obtained over your apprenticeship. You will build a Portfolio of reflections and product evidence that will be used for discussion points in the PD.
- A Synoptic Exam. This will include elements you have learnt throughout your studies of the individual AAT Units and this will contribute towards your end grade.

You will be prepared for both of these elements by undertaking studies for the AAT (Level 3) Advanced Diploma in Accounting. This will underpin both elements of your “end point assessment”. It is anticipated that your apprenticeship duration will be for 15-18 months. Those with no prior accounting knowledge might be required to first complete their Level 2 Accounts/Finance Assistant Apprenticeship.

You will receive support from both the employer, and the training provider, to complete and achieve your Apprenticeship and will be given time to study during the week on a day release basis. As you are working towards a professional qualification, it is also expected that you will continue your studies outside of normal office hours.

As you learn more in both the office and in your studies your responsibilities, and the variety of tasks you undertake, are expected to increase.

Those with previous relevant qualifications and experience may be considered for a Higher Apprenticeship undertaking the Professional Accounting Technician Standard.

**Working Week**

Monday to Thursday 8.30 to 4.30pm, and Friday from 8.30 to 4.00

**Vacancy description**

A broad range of accounting and finance tasks will be undertaken providing experience across our activities, including work with:

- Sales Ledger and Debt Recovery
- Cashiers Duties
- Treasury
- Purchase Ledger
- General Ledger
- “ParentPay”, College Shop and Exams Shop

Both practical and theoretical training will be undertaken, with an aim to ultimately becoming a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT)

**Desired Skills**

- Meticulous
- Highly competent Excel skills
