Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be part of Home-Start Southwark and Lewisham's senior leadership team, in the only finance-focussed role within the team, taking ownership of the organisation's financial systems, reporting, and compliance — and critically, you will have the opportunity to strategically shape how finance operates over the next 6–12 months.

You will have the rare opportunity to shape the tools, processes, and reporting frameworks from the ground up, working directly with the CEO to make finance a strategic enabler rather than an administrative burden.

We are looking for an experienced and organised Finance Officer to join our team and take responsibility for the day-to-day financial management of our charity.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with numbers but also understands that good charity finance is about much more than processing transactions.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of our finances, including bookkeeping, payments and receipts, reconciliations, payroll liaison, budgeting, grant monitoring and producing regular management information. You will also support the preparation of year-end information and work with our external auditor as required.

We are a placed based health and wellbeing charity working to improve the lives of people in our communities. We are committed to making a meaningful difference and ensuring that our resources are used effectively and responsibly.

This is an opportunity to join an organisation where your work will have a direct impact. Good financial management enables us to deliver our work, meet our commitments to funders and make sustainable decisions about our future.

If you are looking for a role where you can use your financial skills in a supportive, purposeful organisation — and where your contribution will genuinely matter — we would love to hear from you.
