Dilworth is an independent (private) boys’ boarding school for young men, years 7-13, and offers a fully funded wraparound education. Students achieve exceptional NCEA results at a level comparable with the highest performing NZ schools and excel in sports, music, arts and cultural endeavours, and outdoor education.

The school, which has an Anglican tradition, was founded by the legacy of benefactor James Dilworth in 1906 and has grown to be one the largest boarding schools in Australasia. The school is funded by an endowment which is administered by the Dilworth Trust Board, a significant owner of commercial and industrial property in New Zealand.

Dilworth School provides a safe and inclusive environment and has gone through an extensive period of change over the last four years. In 2022 the school was awarded Child Wise Accreditation, the only school in Aotearoa, New Zealand to have achieved this level of Child Safeguarding.

Dilworth’s scholarship is the gift of opportunity for young men who want to get ahead in life and be the very best they can be. We are seeking a proactive and highly organised School Finance Officer to join our Finance team at our Senior Campus in Epsom.

In this role, you will assist the Finance Manager (School and Payroll) with all day-to-day operational and administration tasks including providing support with payroll processes.

Why do we want you?

• You will ensure that goods and services are processed in accordance with school policies and procedures, provide system support to all school users and understand the importance of building valuable connections with stakeholders across all campuses.

Why do you want us?

• You will be well supported in this role by the Finance Manager (School & Payroll), and the greater Finance team.
• You will have the ability to use good judgment and will be provided with variety in your work. You will be a self-starter who is approachable and confident in your skill set.
• You will join a well-resourced school that is committed to supporting continuous improvement in all areas of the environment.
