About Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT)
JRCT is a grant-making Quaker Trust that supports people who are passionate about making a positive difference; whether they are advocating for some of the most vulnerable people in our society, promoting nonviolent responses to conflict, or taking steps towards an environmentally sustainable future.
Every year JRCT makes grants for all kinds of charitable work, from grassroots community groups to well-established charities working to build a peaceful and just world. We aim to be a responsive and supportive funder, working to strengthen the hands of people who are tackling the root causes of conflict and injustice.
In 2019, the Trust announced plans to significantly increase annual grant spending to over £10 million per year for the next ten years. The Trust further increased its grant-making in response to the Covid-19 crisis. Since then, we have grown our programme staff team in order to better support increased grant portfolios.
Having publicly recognised the ways in which the Trust benefited from or contributed to oppressive practices including enslavement, indenture, colonialism, and Apartheid, JRCT has hired a Head of Reparations and made a commitment to a multi-million programme of reparative justice, the first phase of which will take place between 2026 and 2029.
Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust currently runs five grant programmes: Peace and Security, Rights and Justice, Power and Accountability, Sustainable Future, and Northern Ireland as well as a Grassroots Movements pilot fund.

Use your finance expertise to support meaningful community impact every day.
Evergreen Care UK is a relational charity rooted in a Christian ethos, guided by our values of Compassion, Dignity, Connection and Trust. We welcome and serve people of all faiths and none.
Through our community cafés and services, we support people in later life to remain independent, reduce loneliness, and stay connected to their communities. We believe ageing is something to be celebrated, and that every person has gifts, stories, and experiences worth valuing.
We are now looking for an experienced and trustworthy Finance Lead to play a vital role in the sustainability and growth of our organisation. This is a high-trust, part-time role where your work will directly enable Evergreen’s services to continue and expand.
Working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, you will bring clarity, insight and confidence to our financial management—supporting good decision-making, strong governance, and responsible stewardship of resources.
About the role
This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You will take ownership of financial reporting, year-end accounts, and internal controls, while ensuring the organisation remains compliant and financially well-managed.
You will:
- Prepare monthly management accounts and provide clear financial insight to leadership and trustees
- Lead the preparation of annual statutory accounts in line with charity SORP
- Support the independent examination process and ensure timely regulatory submissions
- Monitor budgets, cash flow and restricted funds, highlighting risks and opportunities

Why join Evergreen?
This is an opportunity to play a key role in a small, relational charity where your work has direct and visible impact. Your financial leadership will help ensure more people in later life experience connection, dignity and belonging.
You’ll benefit from a flexible, part-time role that can work around other commitments, while working closely with senior leadership in a trusted and valued position.
