Our client is committed to transforming lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through Education. The charity is an independent funder, and our income is generated from our endowment which consists of both property holdings and financial investments, therefore we do not fund raise.
The organisation has distributed over £230 million in grants to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through Education, with around £15 million in grants distributed each year. The charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities) who live within nine Boroughs in West, Central and North London.

The post holder will also be required to support the annual budgeting process, year-end audit and preparation of statutory accounts for approval by the Trustee.
The person:
The charity is looking for someone with previous finance experience preferrable but not limited to the charity sector, and strong collaborative and relational skills to work with different colleagues across the organisation. You will be a person who can take initiative, solve problems and get things done timely, be confident working with different internal stakeholders and external professional advisors and capable of considering different requirements and priorities in a knowledgeable way.
This person will have excellent attention to detail and will be highly organised and a strong communicator across a wide range of audiences.
