At SSE, finance isn't a back-office function — it's central to everything we do. Every pound we manage connects directly to our mission: supporting social entrepreneurs to change their communities for the better.

Our finance team is small, close-knit, and genuinely hands-on. We manage income from a wide range of funders — from major institutions through to smaller, place based partners — alongside distributing millions of pounds in grants directly to the social entrepreneurs we exist to serve.

The work is varied, meaningful, and never dull. Because we manage everything in-house, you genuinely own your work end to end — from coding invoices and uploading forecasts into Business Central, to presenting financial insight to our Senior Management Team and steering us through external audit.

We're a team that performs well but we never stand still and welcome people spotting a better way of doing something. If you want to embed smarter technology, automate a clunky process, we always welcome fresh thinking

Awel Aman Tawe is a pioneering community energy charity working to tackle the climate emergency while strengthening community resilience. Founded in 1998, we have developed two of the largest renewable energy co-operatives in Wales – Awel Co-op (wind) and Egni Co-op (solar and smart local energy systems).

We are entering an exciting and pivotal phase. Alongside our established renewable energy assets, we are developing new infrastructure, including a solar farm and battery storage project (one of the UK’s first “tribrid” systems). We are also advancing shared ownership wind and solar projects with commercial developers – these are multi-million pound projects and will be getting built over the next 2-10 years. We are also expanding our portfolio of community, education and enterprise activities. As of end 2025, AAT and group companies have a combined balance sheet of more than £19m and turnover of £4m

Our work spans multiple legal and operational structures, including a charity, community benefit societies (co-ops), trading activity and joint ventures. Hwb y Gors, our low-carbon arts and enterprise centre, is a key part of our growing earned income and community development.

We are a dynamic, values-driven organisation with a strong track record and ambitious plans for the future.

About the Role

As we journey towards our vision to bring fullness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face, we’re looking for a passionate, motivated and mission-driven individual to join our team as Finance Manager. 

The Finance Manager will play a central role in shaping the financial strength and future growth of the charity.

Working closely with the Director of Finance, you will be a key voice in safeguarding financial health and driving forward our mission.

As someone who has completed or nearly completed their Accountancy qualification, you will be given responsibility in an environment centred on growth. The Finance Manager will lead a high-performing finance function, bringing expertise across budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and analysis.

You can work well within a high‑performing finance function, bringing strong charity finance experience, excellent technical skills, and the ability to communicate clearly across the organisation, including with department heads throughout the team.

Alongside this, you’ll bring an active Christian faith, playing a full part in the spiritual life of the organisation and working sensitively with people of all backgrounds.
