Prospectus is proud to be supporting our client in the search for a new Finance Manager. 

The trust empowers young people aged 9 to 15 to challenge all forms of prejudice.  Our client is uniquely powerful as a catalyst for learning and reflection about prejudice. Her experiences as a young Jewish person during the Holocaust provide a powerful insight for young people to learn and reflect on the dangers of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. Through engaging programmes, young people gain the knowledge, motivation and skills to make a real difference. 

The Finance Manager reports into the Chief Executive and is a key role in ensuring organisational resilience, and supporting strong governance and data driven decisions for this impactful organisation.  Your competence with managing day to day financial management operations, and year end are a given.  You will also be a supportive and consultative manager to the Finance Assistant reporting into this role.  What sets the successful candidate apart, is the ability to work closely and effectively with other areas of the organisation.  You will work closely with the Fundraising team, and with the Education Programmes teams.  You will also feel comfortable to present to non-finance related stakeholders such as the Executive team and Board of Trustees, enabling your colleagues to feel fully informed, and being able to answer questions as needed.

The ideal candidate will be ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified or equivalent and will have substantial experience as a senior financial lead within a small organisation.  Your relational capability will also be key, and as such you will be able to demonstrate your strong interpersonal skills and flexibility to work and travel on occasional evenings.
