Finance and support services manager jobs

Overview

At Young Roots, we want to see a compassionate and welcoming society for young people seeking safety. We work alongside young refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, building trusted relationships, providing practical and emotional support and promoting young people's rights and power. 

Our youth hubs and casework are transformative for young refugees, enabling young people who have fled danger, experienced traumatic journeys, and are often here alone to find community and connection, a space to be a young person, and access support to address a range of practical challenges they face. We also draw on our evidence from working every day with young refugees and asylum seekers to call for change to the laws and policies which are harming young people. 

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced finance professional to play a vital role in ensuring Young Roots can continue delivering life-changing support to young people seeking safety.

This isn't just number-crunching – you'll be a trusted finance partner, working collaboratively across the organisation to support effective budget management, shape future initiatives, and ultimately help us maximise our impact for young refugees and asylum seekers.

The role requires proven experience in charity finance, including independently managing month-end processes, producing statutory accounts in accordance with Charity SORP, and managing grant funding. You'll need an accounting qualification (AAT Level 4, full- or part-qualified ACCA/CIMA, or equivalent by experience) and hands-on experience with accounting systems such as Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can communicate financial information in ways that make sense to non-finance audiences, work confidently with senior stakeholders, and is motivated by supporting our mission.

We welcome applications from candidates with diverse career paths. If you've gained relevant skills through non-traditional routes or timeframes, we encourage you to apply. 

This is a permanent role offering 21-35 hours per week (0.6-1.0 FTE); we're open to any hours within this range. The role is hybrid, with two days at one of our London offices. Salary is £40,973-£45,199 per annum pro rata.
