An excellent opportunity for a finance professional/bookkeeper to join the team at Norfolk's newest and thriving arts and cultural venue, in the heart of the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea.

We need someone to keep our financial records in top order, managing income and expenditure postings, bank reconcilliations and monthly management figures to trial balance level.

We envisage a working week of around 20 hours, with flexibility around weekly patterns of work, to fit around any external or domestic commitments. We'll need you to be in our office some of the time, but the majority could be home based, using remote access to our software systems.

You'll be contributing to the future success of our cultural charity, on a clear road to recovery after the impacts of COVID. Ideally you'd have a finance technician/AAT level 3 qualification, with at least two years' experience of bookkeeping and financial administration. Knowledge of Sage 50 would be an advantage, but knowledge of Office software, particularly Excel, is a must. 

As director you will lead a well-organised charity. You will need to fulfil the range of roles and tasks needed in a small organisation, whilst working to shape its future with the support of a stable, approachable, experienced and involved board of trustees.

We are looking for an individual who can deliver both management and strategy, and is eager to learn new skills. As the most public face of SAGE you will have responsibility for raising the profile of the organisation, but also generating income and managing operations.

The work will be demanding but varied and interesting. The successful candidate will develop an understanding of the service delivery, including occasionally helping practically with the groups if necessary. There will be regular contact with the public, referral agencies, beneficiaries, trustees and other organisations.

The scope of the post is recognised to be wide. Trustees adopt realistic goals in collaboration with the director in recognition of the nature and hours of the post. The role should be attractive to capable candidates at any stage of their career path. 

For 20 years SAGE has used allotments in North Sheffield, and a separate singing group, to support adults with a range of psychological, social and physical needs. Our aim is to build resilience, reduce isolation and give the enjoyment of more fulfilled lives. Referral pathways to the allotment service are varied. We offer individually tailored activities adjusted over time.  Over the course of 20 weekly 3 hour sessions mutually agreed plans are made for follow-on activities to be taken up at discharge. We do not deliver gardening but rather year round supported care to groups no larger than 10, enabled  by 2 workers and 2 volunteers  using gardening as the focus.  Despite Covid we have delivered face to face through the majority of 2020/21, otherwise continuing phone support and reassurance.

In common with most charities we face financial pressure and have been further challenged by Covid.  Funding for the Director post is secured until at least the end of May 2022. Over the last 12 months we have received approximately £45,000 in grants and donations.

Interivews currently scheduled for 13th October 2021.
