Job Purpose
As one of our High Support Needs IDVAs, you will be part of our experienced and dedicated adult team reporting to the HSN IDVA Manager covering the Canterbury District area, and your role will include a mixture of working from Catching Lives homeless centre, community and office working.

- Effective partnership working with all key agency partners (including housing and other specialist services, such as drug and alcohol support) to address the safety of high-risk victims and ensuring that their safety plans are coordinated particularly through the MARAC (multi-agency risk assessment conference).
- Identify training opportunities and provide training and support for housing staff and other relevant agencies as appropriate
- Provide both formal training and informal guidance/casework support to Catching Lives staff.
- Work with volunteers (where appropriate) to enhance the capacity of the service
- Be responsible for personal well-being and exercise appropriate self-care
- Attend wider team meetings to share learning and feed into organisational developments
- Ensure that the service user is at the heart of all service delivery by encouraging participation in service development and reporting on their recommendations and complaints
- Be willing and available to work occasional evenings and weekends to support wider team activities such as representing Rising Sun at events (time off in lieu can be taken)
- Ensure publicity materials are effectively distributed as well as contributing to the development of literature
General

Gambling Harm UK (GHUK) is a lived-experience-led public health charity working to prevent and reduce gambling harm. Formerly Gambling Education Network, we are independent of the gambling industry and funded by public money, which we take seriously.
We are in Year 1 of a two-year national programme. Our two largest contracts are with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and NHS England, and we expect to add further contracts and grants as the charity grows. We are a small team where every role matters, and good financial management directly enables our mission.
The opportunity
This is a new post. You will be the person who keeps our finances accurate, our payments properly controlled, our contracts monitored and our funders confident that public money is being used well. You will report to the CEO, work day to day with the Director of Operations and our Bookkeeper, and have a direct line to the Treasurer and the Chair of our Audit & Risk Committee.
It is a hands-on role with real ownership of the numbers, the contracts and the controls. Two days a week is enough to do it well, and we are flexible about how those days are worked.

• Flag financial or contractual risks and make sure they are acted on
• Give the CEO and Director of Operations early warning of expiry and renewal dates
Bookkeeping assurance and controls
• Work with the Bookkeeper so every transaction is recorded and coded to the right fund, project or funder
• Monitor and report on restricted funds
• Maintain financial controls, procedures and audit trails, and support the annual independent examination
• Identify control weaknesses or irregularities and escalate them
Procurement and compliance
• Support procurement in line with our policies, including quotations and documentation
• Monitor supplier performance, spend and compliance
• Keep financial and contractual records complete, accurate and secure
• Support compliance with Charity Commission requirements and contribute to the risk register where finance or contract risks arise
What we are looking for
Essential
• Experience of financial administration, bookkeeping, management accounts or a similar finance role
• Experience of monitoring budgets and expenditure
• Good understanding of financial controls and procedures
• Experience of contract, grant or supplier management
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with a high level of accuracy
• Well organised, able to work independently and manage competing deadlines
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Confident with Microsoft Excel and standard office systems
Desirable
• Experience in a charity or not-for-profit organisation
• Knowledge of charity accounting, restricted funds and funder requirements
• Knowledge of Charity Commission requirements
• Experience of contract monitoring or commissioned services
• Experience of accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, and of online payment or expenses platforms such as Apron
