At SSE, finance isn't a back-office function — it's central to everything we do. Every pound we manage connects directly to our mission: supporting social entrepreneurs to change their communities for the better.
Our finance team is small, close-knit, and genuinely hands-on. We manage income from a wide range of funders — from major institutions through to smaller, place based partners — alongside distributing millions of pounds in grants directly to the social entrepreneurs we exist to serve.
The work is varied, meaningful, and never dull. Because we manage everything in-house, you genuinely own your work end to end — from coding invoices and uploading forecasts into Business Central, to presenting financial insight to our Senior Management Team and steering us through external audit.
We're a team that performs well but we never stand still and welcome people spotting a better way of doing something. If you want to embed smarter technology, automate a clunky process, we always welcome fresh thinking
To equip people with skills, funding, and networks to realise their potential, improve lives and protect the planet.

Website & Infrastructure Maintenance: Maintain and update website content via the admin backend (updating committee member profiles, helping members with login issues, and updating job listings). Ensure core plugins and page layouts are regularly updated to their latest versions. Troubleshoot and fix any automated background tasks or form workflows that are not functioning as expected, and proactively source appropriate external IT or web developer expertise when a complex technical fix is required.
Social Media: Manage member applications to the members-only Facebook group, including tracking usernames to remove lapsed members.
Newsletters & Email: Add any administrative or membership-related updates to the monthly newsletter and proofread final copy before sending.
Cyber Security Incident Response: Act as an initial administrative responder if a cyber security incident is suspected, following the organisation’s cyber incident response playbook. This includes knowing how to force log out affected users, revoke active sessions where possible, reset passwords, reset or rotate other access credentials where required, preserve relevant records, and escalate promptly to the allocated line manager and board of directors. Credentials may include passwords, security codes, access tokens, API keys, recovery codes, or other information that proves a person or system is authorised to access an account.
Committee & Volunteer Support
Committee Administration Support: Provide administrative support to volunteer committees, including maintaining committee webpages, distributing communications, adding meetings to committees’ Teams calendars where requested, updating records, and supporting agreed administrative processes.
Volunteer Admin: Assist with the administrative onboarding and retention processes for volunteers, ensuring they have the guidance and resources needed.
Internal Communication: Facilitate effective and GDPR-compliant information sharing between different branches of the professional body.
Annual Governance Minute-Taking: Assist with taking minutes once a year, specifically for the organisation’s General Meeting (AGM/GM).
Annual Report Formatting: Support the preparation of the organisation’s annual report by formatting supplied content into a clear, consistent and accessible document, ensuring headings, images, tables, captions, branding, layout and proofreading corrections are applied accurately before review and publication.
Ad Hoc Executive Support: Assist with ad hoc requests from the Association Chair and Vice-Chair.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The success of the administrator role will be measured against the following KPIs:
Data Integrity & Compliance: The membership database and CRM are consistently reliable, audit-ready, and compliant with UK GDPR regulations, with syncing errors or data gaps proactively caught and resolved during routine maintenance.
Financial Health & Transactional Accuracy: Invoices, renewal notices, and approved payments are processed accurately and strictly on schedule to maintain healthy organizational cash flow. Financial records in Xero and internal staff leave logs are kept consistently up to date, ensuring the bookkeeper and directors have reliable financial data.
Service Excellence & Responsiveness: Members, committees and external enquirers experience a seamless, professional, and timely customer service journey, characterized by steady frequent inbox management and the elimination of communication backlogs.
Operational Pipeline Efficiency Administrative workflows—specifically member onboarding, offboarding feedback loops, and volunteer tracking—move through the pipeline steadily and predictably without administrative delays.
Digital Channel Stability & Readiness The organization’s digital assets (website content, plugins, and communication channels) remain secure, functional, and up to date, with technical issues or security concerns actioned or escalated promptly to minimize operational downtime.
Governance & Documentation Quality The Board and volunteer committees receive accurate, well-formatted, and brand-consistent documentation (including minutes, reports, and marketing collateral) delivered on schedule to support organizational decision-making.
