Do you tire of reading adverts for run of the mill Finance jobs, wishing there could be a bigger project out there for you? How about something completely unique to get your teeth into? Can you see yourself being the leader of a complex acquisition/construction project worth over £100m?

A large property developer is currently in the process of making a £100m acquisition which will ultimately create thousands of new homes; it is the start of a long-term project central to the regeneration of the local area of London. A new post is being created within the Finance team of the parent company to essentially oversee, and be responsible for, the entire project from a Finance perspective. Key responsibilities will evolve over time and be shaped by the appointed candidate, but the overview of responsiblities for the Senior Project Accountant would include:

• Being the Finance figurehead for integrating the new development into the Group
• Business Partnering with Directors and Senior Managers in the Development function, ensuring that the project lifecycle remains on course
• Building a team within the parent company as time goes on to deal with the increased demand on Finance
• Conducting investment appraisals and reappraising the project at every stage; performing financial modelling and stress testing of various scenarios to inform a robust strategic business plan
• Performing due diligence on the acquisition, ensuring that everything from a compliance and tax perspective is compliant with all necessary regulations and protocols.

If you're looking for a non-traditional Finance position with the opportunity to oversee a major project that will put thousands of people into homes and be a key hub in the redevelopment of a part of London, then this could be the role for you. The employer is well respected and has excellent staff satisfaction; the benefits package is excellent, and you would join a highly skilled team all working towards a common purpose, based in an easily accessible office in the heart of London.

This is a highly complex position and would suit someone with a very specific set of skills and experience. Those who come from an audit background who have then gone on to deal with complex acquisitions or mergers, group consolidations and/or joint ventures may find that this is the senior Finance role they have been looking for.

While there may be many candidates with an interest in this position, essential criteria include:

• A full, recognised accountancy qualification. Those who qualified in audit who have experience in roles requiring complex financial appraisal and financial modelling, complex transaction planning and long-term business planning - within sectors relating to Housing, Property, Development or Construction will be seen highly favourably.
• First class communication skills with the credibility to be the point of contact for a multi-million-pound contract
• Being capable of taking on a senior leadership role and building a high functioning team as the project progresses.

This is a newly created role and preparations are being made to resort to video interviewing to allow recruitment to proceed during the coronavirus outbreak. The client is well geared to remote working and interviewing and therefore this process will not slow down due to the increased demand to work from home - if this role appears to be of interest, please apply now to kickstart an informal chat.

About us

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

About the role

Volunteers are the bedrock of our sponsoring churches, and that means they play an important role at Christian Aid too. This is your chance to make real difference at Christian Aid by joining our newly expanded Volunteering team in one of three news roles that will deliver a volunteer experience that is rich, rewarding and impactful.

Working with colleagues across the UK, you'll lead on the recruitment and welcome of new volunteers, matching supporters to the roles that make the best use of their time, skills and interests. You'll also advise and train others on how best to work with volunteers and support decision-makers to design our volunteering programmes in line with best practice.

About you

We're looking for someone with significant experience of working with volunteers - you'll know what makes a great volunteer experience and can demonstrate how you've achieved this in other roles. You'll also have supported others to work with volunteers.

Excellent communication skills will be vital in this role, as you liaise with a range of colleagues and supporters around the UK and often via digital means, such as phone, email or video calls. Being home-based means that you'll also need to be able to work independently, prioritising tasks and managing your workload to meet tight deadlines.

And of course, you'll need a good understanding of church communities and structures, Christian Aid's key audience, so that you'll know how best to motivate and engage these potential volunteers to join us.

If this sounds like it could be you, why not share your skills with Christian Aid to recruit new volunteers, retain our current volunteers and grow our movement for change?

Further information

This role requires applicants to have the right to work in the country where this position is based.

We value diversity and aspire to reflect this in its workforce. We welcome applications from people from all sections of the community, irrespective of race, colour, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief.

You can expect a wide range of rewards and benefits, including a generous holiday allowance, and flexibility that will ensure you enjoy a good work/life balance.

If you have any questions about the role, please contact Stacy Cannon, UK Volunteering Manager, at [email protected]
