ABOUT RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT

We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being overlooked and ignored. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities. Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.

OUR APPROACH TO SAFEGUARDING

Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Restless Development’s UK Hub mobilises young people in the UK to take action on inequality and injustice, through opportunities such as the Youth Stop AIDS campaign. We are also part of the VSO-led consortium delivering the DFID-funded International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. The ICS programme brings together young people from the UK and developing countries, so that they can have a development impact on the communities in Africa and Asia in which they volunteer; develop personally; and become long-term active citizens. Since 2011, we have supported over 2,500 young people from the UK to take part in the programme.

As well as working directly with young people leading change, the UK Hub influences a range of decision-makers in the UK to ensure that young people can shape policy. The UK Hub is also at the forefront of developing Restless Development’s unique approach to meaningful youth engagement – using this expertise to provide technical support to bilateral donor agencies, INGOs, international networks and other funders, to improve their work engaging young people.

We are looking for a Finance Manager to manage the UK Finance Team and the financial operations of the Hub’s programmes and activities. The Finance Manager will also be a key member of the UK Leadership Team, helping to drive forward the strategy and performance of the Hub. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your career in the charity and international development sector. You will be given the opportunity to strengthen your technical expertise and wider experience by working on a range of different projects that will stretch you; as well as allowing you to work closely with our dynamic and talented staff; and ultimately making a significant contribution to our efforts to support young people to lead change.

If you are looking for a specialist role in international development, where you can utilise your international finance experience with your background managing the finances of payment by result contracts, this may be the role for you. This is an exciting role with a lot of flexibility and some international travel (2-4 trips per year) working with countries across Africa and the Middle East, leading a consortium of partners to deliver a pivotal programme for people across the world.

Key responsibilities will include taking ownership of the financial management of this £100m+ five year programme, providing sound financial support to country teams and ensuring regional offices have the teams and resources necessary to perform well, capacity building where necessary. This role will also manage consortium partner reports, and provide regular updates to the senior leadership team within the charity on the programmes performance.

The successful candidate will be an excellent business partner with experience working in a contracts funded environment. INGO experience is essential, however contracts experience does not have to be from this sector. Experience working with EU, DFID or USAID funding would be an advantage in either a contracts or grants context.

We are looking for fully qualified accountants (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA) who combine this technical ability with exceptional communication skills.
