We work with individuals, families and communities to create lasting, positive change, recognising that people’s needs are often complex. Our dedicated team of around 120 staff, helps address a wide range of challenges, including housing instability, health and wellbeing, employment barriers and more.
We are looking for a forward-thinking Finance Manager to play a pivotal role across the organisation, with a particular focus on our supported housing projects. This is an exciting new position that not only takes on key responsibilities from our Director of Finance, but also additional work linked to our housing projects as we grow.
With major expansion planned over the next two years and our journey towards becoming a Registered Provider of Social Housing (RP) well underway, this is a rare opportunity to shape the financial foundations of a rapidly developing housing portfolio.
The Finance Manager will line manage the Finance Administrator, who undertakes much of Bridge’s day-to-day finance processing, and will work closely with the Director of Finance on organisational wide financial management.
Because of our size, the post will cover a range of financial responsibilities that in larger organisation would be divided across several posts. These responsibilities will include; managing income and expenditure for our housing projects; oversight of the organisation’s purchase ledger; payroll; producing internal management accounts and financial monitoring reports to funders; assisting with organisational budgeting, annual accounts and the audit process. This makes the role ideally suited to someone with a broad range of accounting and financial experience and skills, ideally with either a social housing or charity background.
We are looking for someone who is a part-qualified or a fully qualified accountant, with knowledge of UK accounting regulations. Strong financial reporting and analytical skills along with an understanding of payroll processes and systems is essential.
This is a full-time permanent position, with the potential for hybrid working. A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post.
If you would thrive working as part of our supportive and positive staff team, we’d love to hear from you. Alongside a rewarding career, you’ll enjoy a benefits package designed to help you thrive:
- Competitive salary that reflects your skills and contribution
- 32 days of annual leave to rest, recharge, and enjoy life outside work
- 5% employer pension contribution to support your long‑term financial security
- A dedicated Learning & Development programme to help you grow and progress
- 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme offering confidential advice whenever you need it
- Death‑in‑service benefit worth three times your salary for added peace of mind
- Refer‑a‑friend bonus of £500 when you help us bring great people on board
- Two hours of monthly wellbeing time to pause, connect, and reset with your team
- A programme of mindfulness activities to boost focus on overall wellbeing
