We're looking for an experienced Finance & Resources Manager to join our growing organisation, with a current annual income of c£2million and a staff team of 32 FTE.

Leading our finance and central support teams you'll play a crucial role in safeguarding the financial health of YDMT and maximising our resources in order to deliver the greatest charitable impact.

For 27 years we have delivered diverse and inspirational projects, helping to plant 1.5 million trees and securing the future of more than 750 hectares of wildflower hay meadows, creating habitats for our wildlife and helping to tackle climate change. We are passionate about inspiring disadvantaged groups and future generations to care for this special area.

About the role 

Leading on financial management processes across the organisation you will provide high quality, meaningful financial information to support the decision making of our Board of Trustees.

You will support YDMT's fundraising, grant-giving and project delivery - leading the central support team to develop and manage robust HR, finance, IT and facilities systems and procedures.

As a member of the YDMT Executive Leadership Team, you will also support our Chief Executive in shaping the future of YDMT's work. You'll provide support and information to the Board and contribute to our vision and direction. 

About you

We are looking for somebody with a proven background in account management within the charity sector or similar. You'll have a track record of managaing financial accounting systems and handling multiple funding streams in a charitable context, as well as excellent people skills and experience of leading a team. 

Underpinning all of this is your ability to work within our culture – which means sharing our values of being creative, caring, honest and enabling.

Live out your Christian faith in a fun job, surrounded by excellent kind volunteers and straight talking adults with learning disabilities in a beautiful farm setting near Winchester.  If you love cooking, people and thinking on your feet, then this is the management job for you.  Boaz is a small independent charity that over 100 people a week call their "workplace".  Four days a week around 30 people come to the farm to "work and learn together" doing a whole range of horticulture and other jobs such as cooking, craft, animal care and woodwork.  As Deputy Manager you will help keep the fun levels high, the stress levels low, and people working harmoniously together.  Four days each week you'll lead on cooking a simple vegetarian meal for everyone on site, plus be involved in the general day to day management of the charity.  But don't take my word for it, swing by for a coffee and a walk around to get a feel for things BEFORE you apply.  Based in a converted cow barn this is a MARMITE job, and we all know that people either love or don't love that spread.

It's a small team, only two other full time staff members working alongside you, but over 50 volunteers coming and going each week and over 30 adults with learning disabilities who spend half days or several days a week working at the project.  Each day starts with some "listening and prayer time" where people are encouraged to share and receive prayer if they request it.  Then some scripture is shared followed by remembering everything people are grateful for.  As Deputy Manager you would lead these sessions when the General Manager is on leave or be on a rota system.

The role is based on-site, Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4:30.

You get 20 days holiday a year plus Public Holidays to start with, plus additional days for long service.

Pay will be in the range of £28 to £30,000 p/a depending on experience.

Location: The post holder will have a normal place of work in Hampton Hill, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and will be required to travel throughout the borough to support our other offices and outreach venues.

We have a typical annual turnover of £700,000 and in addition to our core advice service, funded by Richmond Council, we have a range of projects funded by other charities. 

This is a unique and crucial position in our charity – it is not client-facing but is essential to the running of the organisation. We need someone motivated by our aims and dedicated to ensuring the smooth and efficient running of our ‘back-office’ functions. 

It is your approach that is most important – you must be flexible, approachable and able to deliver on commitments. For this role, you must have experience in a similar role.

Role purpose

The post-holder will lead on premises, facilities, IT and personnel and administration systems to support the effective delivery of CAR services to clients and management of the organisation.

Reporting to the CEO and responsible for the management of administration volunteers, the post holder will lead on maintaining our office systems and processes.
