You'll ensure we have the liquidity needed to support our work as income flows in from our incredible fundraisers, navigating the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funds to safeguard every pound raised and maximise our impact.
Using data and metrics as your tools, you'll drive performance improvements while supporting the development of our Accounts Assistants team. Your ability to balance rigorous treasury controls with collaborative partnership will be essential to success in this role.
This role will focus approximately 80% on Treasury and 20% on Accounts Receivable.

You're an experienced treasury professional who enjoys using forecasting and data to provide strategic financial insights.

You'll have:
- Proven treasury or cash management experience in a medium to large organisation, including cash flow forecasting, cash positioning, and banking relationship management.
- Effective forecasting and analytical skills with the ability to model scenarios and provide strategic cash insights to support decision-making.
- Experience managing banking relationships, optimising cash deployment, and working with multiple bank accounts and treasury systems.
- Track record in managing end-to-end accounts receivable processes, including invoice generation, reconciliation, and collections.
- Ability to develop and motivate teams using a high challenge, high support approach, particularly those undertaking professional development.
- Good communication and influencing skills, with proven ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders and colleagues across departments.
- Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel, with strong ability to analyse, interpret and present financial data effectively.
- Understanding of financial accounting systems and how they integrate with treasury operations; charity sector experience is beneficial but not essential.
What you'll focus on:
- Managing treasury operations including monitoring daily cash position, forecasting cash flow, and optimising cash deployment across the organisation.
- Owning banking relationships, negotiating terms with financial institutions, and ensuring efficient payment and receipting processes.
- Producing cash flow forecasts and treasury reports that inform executive decision-making and enable strategic investment planning.
- Managing end-to-end accounts receivable processes from invoice generation and account reconciliation to debt recovery and customer service.
- Driving performance through data by owning and reporting on key treasury and AR metrics, using insights to deliver continuous improvement.
- Leading and developing the Accounts Assistants team, creating a culture of high challenge, high support, and professional growth.
- Strengthening controls by proactively identifying treasury risks, process inefficiencies, and implementing effective solutions.
- Working collaboratively across directorates to improve financial practice and ensure robust, efficient operations.

We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.
We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.
We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a DBS check at the relevant level.

ISEAL is looking for an experienced events professional to manage a range of in person and virtual events for its global stakeholder base. This is an exciting role for someone with a strong track record in organising events of differing sizes for in-person, online, and hybrid audiences, and who is interested in sustainability.
Events are a vital part of ISEAL’s work to communicate with, influence, and engage our key stakeholder groups, including policy makers, multilateral organisations, donors, companies, NGOs, producers, and, of course, ISEAL’s own members. To support these aims, ISEAL hosts at least one major public forum, conference or symposium each year. In 2026, this will be a Global Sustainability Symposium and will take place in Accra, Ghana in June with around 200-300 participants.

Job Title - Head of Legal Aid and Billing
Contract - Permanent
Hours - Part Time, 21 hours per week (0.6 FTE) with some flexibility around working hours
Salary Range - £28,800 to £34,800 per annum (£48,000 to £58,000 FTE)
Location - London office - Coram Campus, 41 Brunswick Square, London WC1N 1AZ
About Coram
Coram is the UK’s oldest children’s charity founded by Thomas Coram in London helping vulnerable children and young people since 1739. Today, the Coram group helps more than one million children, young people, families and professionals every year by providing access to the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.
One of the nine members of the Coram group, Coram Children’s Legal Centre (CCLC) is the UK’s specialist centre for children’s rights in education, immigration, community care and family law, and provides significant international legal systems consultancy. The centre is located on the Coram Campus in central London with a base in Colchester. We champion access to justice through information and advice, legal practice and representation, policy and strategic litigation. Our Legal Practice Unit provides advice and representation primarily under legal aid contract. Our Policy and Practice Change team promotes practice change through training and capacity building to professionals and secures systems change through research, policy and advocacy.
About the role
This role will provide leadership and management for CCLC particularly focused on the Legal Practice Unit’s legal aid billing operations. Through systematic and efficient management, the post-holder will play a pivotal role in CCLC’s financial and operational sustainability. The role will be accountable for maximising the unit’s legal aid billing in controlled work, certificated work and inter partes costs and will hold responsibility for the unit’s billing systems. It will also be responsible for private fees billing. The post-holder will oversee the smooth running of legal aid billing including through line management of the billing team. The post-holder will work very closely with legal, operations and administrative staff. The role will act as a key point of contact for a range of internal and external stakeholders including Coram’s central finance team who will support the role with grant fund management and overall accounting functions for CCLC. The post-holder will support the Managing Director of Legal Practice and Children’s Rights and department heads in the successful maintenance of our relationship with the Legal Aid Agency. Where appropriate they will be deputising for the Managing Director on legal aid and financial matters.
The role would suit a highly organised and efficient legal aid lawyer, or a finance or billing professional with solid experience of legal practice and a deep understanding of the challenges of legal aid. Whilst candidates with direct experience of legal billing (and more specifically civil legal aid billing) are welcomed, we recognise that this is a highly specialised and niche field. As such, this role could suit a highly experienced solicitor who appreciates the important role developing sustainable businesses plays in ensuring access to justice and who therefore wishes to move into practice and financial management. They will need an aptitude for processing large amounts of data, developing and managing spreadsheets and improving organisational systems. However, they will be well supported through training, an enthusiastic and competent junior billing team, the central finance team and an outsourced legal cashiering company, as well as a friendly and collaborative management team including the Managing Director and the Heads of Education Law, Community Care Law and Immigration and Asylum Law.
This is a largely office-based role in order to fully provide support to the billing team. However, some remote / hybrid working may be possible depending the experience of the candidate after the initial settling in period and there will be flexibility over how the three days will be spread across the week (within working hours). The team are mostly based in the London office and with one billing team member in Colchester so the post holder may require some occasional travel.
