You’ll have experience of working with small organisations and charities, knowledgeable about the areas of financial control that you will be our expert on.

The role is an employee position for one day per week, however we are open to discuss flexibility of working hours and the possibility of freelance working with the successful candidate.

We actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills and stories to join us and influence our working practice.
