We are looking for more than an accountant!
Place Matters is a small, entrepreneurial charity punching above its weight.Yes you need be a qualified accountant who will “do” as well as “oversee” but we want you to also be part of our mission to enable community-led, place-based change to thrive. You will provide strategic and practical leadership across finance, organisational operations, risk, governance and compliance. We want you to contribute beyond your functional portfolio - support organisational strategy, planning, culture, partnerships and fundraising and translate Place Matters’ ambitions into deliverable and financially sustainable plans.

We'll conduct interviews on 22 and 23 October 2026.
To enable community-led, place-based change to thrive by strengthening communities, influencing funding, policy, and turning learning into action

We currently have employees working part-time, job share, compressed hours, adjusted start and finish times, and other non-standard working patterns. We are open to considering alternative arrangements and would welcome discussion with successful candidates about any specific flexibility they may require, subject to organisational needs.
