Help ensure strong financial foundations for a charity where people in later life can connect, belong and thrive.
Use your finance expertise to support meaningful community impact every day.
Evergreen Care UK is a relational charity rooted in a Christian ethos, guided by our values of Compassion, Dignity, Connection and Trust. We welcome and serve people of all faiths and none.
Through our community cafés and services, we support people in later life to remain independent, reduce loneliness, and stay connected to their communities. We believe ageing is something to be celebrated, and that every person has gifts, stories, and experiences worth valuing.
We are now looking for an experienced and trustworthy Finance Lead to play a vital role in the sustainability and growth of our organisation. This is a high-trust, part-time role where your work will directly enable Evergreen’s services to continue and expand.
Working closely with the Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, you will bring clarity, insight and confidence to our financial management—supporting good decision-making, strong governance, and responsible stewardship of resources.
About the role
This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You will take ownership of financial reporting, year-end accounts, and internal controls, while ensuring the organisation remains compliant and financially well-managed.
You will:
- Prepare monthly management accounts and provide clear financial insight to leadership and trustees
- Lead the preparation of annual statutory accounts in line with charity SORP
- Support the independent examination process and ensure timely regulatory submissions
- Monitor budgets, cash flow and restricted funds, highlighting risks and opportunities
- Maintain strong financial controls and support good governance
- Provide oversight of bookkeeping and day-to-day financial processes
A collaborative and relational role
As part of a small team, how we work matters as much as what we do. You will work closely with colleagues, contributing to a culture of trust, collaboration and shared responsibility. Your role will help ensure that financial systems support—not hinder—the delivery of impactful, people-centred services.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who combines strong financial expertise with a thoughtful, values-led approach.
You will bring:
- Proven experience in a similar finance role, with responsibility for financial reporting and year-end accounts
- Experience producing management accounts and financial reports
- A strong understanding of accounting principles and internal controls
- Working knowledge of charity SORP (or willingness to develop this)
- Confidence in building relationships and communicating financial information clearly
- Alignment with our values and comfort working within a Christian ethos
Experience in the charity sector, supporting trustees, or working with systems such as Liberty Accounts (or similar, e.g. Xero) would be advantageous.
Why join Evergreen?
This is an opportunity to play a key role in a small, relational charity where your work has direct and visible impact. Your financial leadership will help ensure more people in later life experience connection, dignity and belonging.
You’ll benefit from a flexible, part-time role that can work around other commitments, while working closely with senior leadership in a trusted and valued position.
Please submit your CV along with a short covering statement (no more than 1–2 pages) outlining:
Your experience in a similar finance role, including responsibility for financial reporting and year-end accounts
Your experience of working with charities or purpose-driven organisations (if applicable)
Why this role appeals to you and how your values align with Evergreen Care UK

The Personal Assistant (Diary & Events) works closely with the Bishops, the Bishop's Chaplain & Executive Assistant and the Finance & Associate PA.
The post-holder will need to have (or be able to quickly develop) a thorough knowledge of the many facets of a Bishop's roles, the workings of the Diocese of Liverpool and the Church of England more widely. As well as having excellent organisational, administrative and diary management skills, the post-holder must have the capacity to respond quickly often working independently and calmly to rapidly changing circumstances and effectively manage competing demands.
This role demands initiative, discretion and creativity. It is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, is passionate about the Church's mission, and is confident in managing both strategic and operational responsibilities. It requires someone who is proactive and can organise their work so that they are one step ahead in order to anticipate issues and influence positive outcomes. The post holder will also be an excellent communicator, able to handle difficult conversations and be highly collaborative in order to build highly effective working relationships with a wide range of individuals and organisations.
The role will be primarily based at Bishop's Lodge, Woolton Park, Liverpool. There is a requirement to be flexible and, on occasion, to work from the diocesan office at St James' House.
These relationships will be vital as everyone in the bishop's office must have a good awareness of each other's work and the capacity to allocate tasks and support each other's workstreams according to the particular demands. Holidays must be agreed between staff to ensure that the office is well staffed. The PA (Diary & Events) will not normally be away from the Office or on holiday at the same time as the Finance & Associate PA.
Any given day is varied and therefore likely to produce a range of demands both foreseen and unforeseen; the Personal Assistant needs the flexibility and initiative to respond appropriately as and when matters arise. The following are, however, the focal responsibilities of the role:
Diary Management
Working with the Bishop's Chaplain & Executive Assistant, to have overall responsibility to plan, organise and coordinate all elements of the day-to-day diary management for the bishops and the Bishop's Chaplain. This includes but is not limited to:
- Book, manage and adjust appointments, engagements and meetings.
- Organise the diary and schedule the bishops' day in a way that enables and sustains their ministries.
- Take the lead on making travel and accommodation arrangements
- Ensure the bishops have all necessary paperwork or information in advance of meetings or engagements
- Liaise with parishes, clergy and all key stakeholders both internal and external where required.
- Be pro-active in drafting appropriate responses to all requests and invitations.
- Protect the bishop's diary by setting criteria to manage all diary demands including pushing back on requests to ensure that the number of commitments is sustainable.
Administrative and operational support
- Managing the administration for Readers in the diocese including liaising with the Diocesan Team and the Warden of Readers.
- From time to time as and when required to serve as clerk to the meetings held by the bishops and to take notes, co-ordinate agendas, actions and follow-ups.

Bible Society is on a mission to increase Bible confidence in the Church and change the conversation about the Bible in culture. We are ambitious to see the Bible ‘translated’ into every part of life and society.
We see a huge mission opportunity in England and Wales and increasingly our attention is focused on growing Bible confidence in the Church and inviting the spiritually open to engage with what the Bible has to say in their own lives.
As Director of Domestic Mission you will be responsible for:
- Leading and implementing programmes to mobilise the domestic Church for Bible mission, and to enable spiritually open people to discover and engage with the Bible.
- Embedding a mission culture marked by prayerful humility, relational partnership and inter-confessional collaboration.
If you are content with the state of contemporary Christianity in modern society and the place of the Bible in popular culture, then this is not the role for you. On the other hand, if you are provoked and stirred by the confusion, misunderstanding and lack of knowledge about the Bible in society; if you know the transforming power of Scripture to bring us into an encounter with Jesus by the Holy Spirit and change our lives and relationships; and if you want to harness your excellent leadership, relationship-building and missional vision-casting skills to help mobilise a Bible movement in our generation, then we are excited to be talking to you.
