Somewhere in West Africa, a mission worker is sitting with a question about their monthly budget. In South Asia, another is preparing to extend their service and needs to understand what that means financially. Every one of our mission workers, serving in around 25 countries, depends on someone back home who understands their situation, knows their name, and helps them navigate the financial realities of life serving in mission.
We’re looking for someone who brings both financial competence and genuine warmth – someone who can manage budgets and reconciliations with accuracy, but who also understands that behind every spreadsheet is a person serving Jesus by making disciples. You’ll be the consistent, trusted point of contact for workers from the moment they join SIM through to when they return home, and every budget review, fund statement, and financial query in between is a chance to make them feel genuinely cared for.
If that sounds like the kind of work that excites you, then we are looking for someone who has experience in bookkeeping and financial management within a small to medium-sized organisation, and who also has experience in a finance customer services role.
