The Bridge Project has been supporting people across Bradford since 1983. We work with individuals, families and communities to create lasting, positive change, recognising that people’s needs are often complex. Our dedicated team of around 120 staff, helps address a wide range of challenges, including housing instability, health and wellbeing, employment barriers and more.

We are looking for a forward-thinking Finance Manager to play a pivotal role across the organisation, with a particular focus on our supported housing projects.

This makes the role ideally suited to someone with a broad range of accounting and financial experience and skills, ideally with either a social housing or charity background.

We are looking for someone who is a part-qualified or a fully qualified accountant, with knowledge of UK accounting regulations.  Strong financial reporting and analytical skills along with an understanding of payroll processes and systems is essential.

This is a full-time permanent position, with the potential for hybrid working.   A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post.

• Competitive salary that reflects your skills and contribution
• 32 days of annual leave to rest, recharge, and enjoy life outside work
