You’ll probably have experience of:

• Charity finance.
• Management accounting.
• Budgeting and forecasting.
• Audit preparation.
• Financial controls.
• Cloud accounting systems (Xero experience is highly desirable).
• Leading change and improving systems.
• Supporting non-finance managers.
• Working collaboratively with senior leaders and Trustees.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys solving problems, embracing technology and helping organisations grow.

To support an equitable and accessible recruitment experience, we actively encourage candidates to let us know if they require any reasonable adjustments during the application or interview stages.

As part of the Disability Confident Scheme candidates who declare a disability and meet the six essential criteria we have selected will normally be shortlisted for interview. There may be occasions, such as having a high-volume of applications, where it is not possible to interview all Disability Confident candidates who meet the six selected essential criteria for the role. They may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both candidates with and without disabilities. In these circumstances, they will ensure that a proportionate number of disabled candidates are shortlisted for interview.

The organisation is committed to equity of opportunity, aiming to provide a working and learning environment free from discrimination. They are taking appropriate steps to create a workforce that reflects the diverse society in which we work and live in. Therefore, they particularly encourage applications from candidates under-represented in the current workforce, including those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and LGBTQIA+ people. Please note, all candidates will be expected to actively demonstrate their commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Belonging throughout the application and interview stages.
