This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced charity finance professional to join a friendly, values-driven organisation at an important point in its development.

Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire is entering a new strategic period, and we are looking for a Finance Manager who wants support real change. You will have the chance to shape how we plan, report, forecast and make decisions, helping us build strong financial systems that support high-quality services for adults, parent carers and young carers across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

The role is available due to the upcoming retirement of our current Finance Manager, creating an opportunity for someone to bring fresh insight, strengthen our processes and work closely with the CEO, Treasurer, Senior Management Team and Finance Officer.

You will lead the day-to-day finance function, produce monthly management accounts, oversee payroll, support budget holders, manage cash flow forecasting, review investments, strengthen financial policies and controls, and provide financial modelling for funding applications, tenders and service planning.

This is a varied and influential role where your work will directly support better decisions, better use of resources and stronger services for unpaid carers, who play such a vital role in our communities.

We are looking for someone who can combine technical finance skills with a practical, collaborative approach. You will be confident explaining financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues, spotting risks and opportunities, and helping managers understand the financial impact of their decisions.

You will be joining a supportive team where flexibility, trust and shared purpose matter. We offer hybrid working, a part-time senior role with real influence, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a respected local charity.

About you

You will bring experience of charity, not-for-profit or comparable financial management, with strong skills in management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, payroll oversight, financial controls and reporting.

You will be comfortable managing a small finance team, improving systems and processes, working with auditors and trustees, and supporting organisational efficiency without losing sight of the people and purpose behind the numbers.

Most importantly, you will want to use your finance skills in a role where they make a real difference.

Why join us?

At Carers Support BSG, you will find a warm, committed and practical team working to improve life for unpaid carers of all ages. We support adults, parent carers and young carers through advice, information, assessments, groups, wellbeing support, hospital and GP-based services, and community connection.

You will have flexibility in how you work, the support of an experienced team and the space to help modernise our financial planning and reporting as we develop our next strategy.

If you are looking for a finance role where you can be both hands-on and strategic, where your judgement will be valued, and where your work will help sustain services that matter deeply to local people, we would love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the finance function and line managing the Finance Officer.

• Producing accurate monthly management accounts and financial reports.

• Supporting the CEO, Treasurer, SMT and trustees with financial insight and decision-making.

• Leading budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning.
