SCM is a community of students, past and present, and it is community that is at the heart of who we are and how we do things. Wherever students find us and however they engage, they are our purpose; supporting them to be, and, where they are open to it, to grow in their lives and faith.

We are deeply committed to an inclusive, progressive and radical approach to the Christian faith and we are a movement for today, which means campaigning on current issues of concern such as the refugee crisis, the arms trade and food injustice, and modelling LGBTQ+ celebration and pushing the church to do the same.

SCM is a small charity with a strategic plan for growth and sustainability, of which effective fundraising and financial management is a key part. We are looking for a Finance and Fundraising Administrator who will provide high quality administrative support for the fundraising work of SCM, helping to ensure that strong relationships are built with donors and supporters. The post holder will also support the Operations Manager in monitoring the financial performance of the charity by ensuring that financial records are kept up to date.

The main duties of this role include:

• Recording the fundraising activity of donors on a database and maintaining donor records.
• Sending out thank you letters and supporting the Fundraiser with appeal mailings.
• Supporting the Fundraiser to prepare monthly fundraising progress reports.
• Ensuring that all financial transactions are recorded on the accounting software (QuickBooks), including creating invoices.
• Administering the day to day financial activities of the charity, paying bills and expenses claims using online banking and ensuring monies received are banked promptly.
• Maintaining the smooth running of the office by undertaking a range of administrative tasks including dealing with post, staffing the telephone, arranging travel and accommodation and maintaining stocks of stationery as required.
• Undertaking any other tasks as required commensurate with the post, such as taking minutes of meetings.

The ideal candidate for this role will be someone who is well organised and has a keen eye for detail, with experience of working or volunteering in a similar role. You will need to show, in addition to the skills and experience listed in the person specification, that your values align with our values, and that you share our commitment to safeguarding. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude are as important to us as qualifications and experience, so do please get in touch even if you don’t think you meet all of the criteria quite yet.

You would be joining a small but dynamic staff who are deeply committed to the values and work of SCM, and who are excited to welcome you the team and work with you in your role. We can also offer you a competitive salary, a generous annual leave entitlement, pension contributions, enhanced sickness and family leave pay, and flexible working.

Here at Charity Horizons we are delighted to be partnering with a National Education Charity whose primary aim is to advance the education of young people in mathematics. They do this by working with hundreds of volunteers across the UK to organise maths competitions promoting problem solving and teamwork and other mathematical enrichment activities. As a charity, they are just about to embark on an exciting new period of strategic growth and are looking for talented, committed, ambitious and innovative individuals to help them on their journey - could this be you?

We are looking for an Admin and Finance Officer to work directly on specific activities and support the team by working closely with our incredible volunteers and supporters, providing excellent stewardship and communications, as well as being the first port of call for general and financial enquiries from our supporters. The main duties of this role will be extremely varied and will include importing income data on the UKMT website and entering sales invoice payments onto the website. You will download bank statements, resolve issues with unidentified payments and unpaid invoices, and ensure outgoing payments are made in a timely manner. Another key part of the role will be liaising with accountants, auditors and other relevant parties to ensure financial records are up to date and information is provided accurately.

To be considered for this role you should come to us with previous administration and finance experience. You will have effective organisational, time management and excellent interpersonal skills. Strong customer service skills are a must, as is the ability to solve problems and communicate with people across all levels of the organisation and the general public. A high level of accuracy attention and excellent numeracy skills are also essential. Experience of using Xero, Sage or other accounting software would be advantageous.

The role is largely home-based, but will involve working from the charity’s offices in Thorpe Park 1-2 days a week. This really is a hugely exciting opportunity to join an ambitious, supportive and innovative team at a hugely exciting time as the charity looks to grow and progress and enter an exciting new phase of it’s journey.
