With a substantial investment portfolio and a long-standing commitment to advancing knowledge, creativity and independent thinking, the Trust plays a vital role in supporting researchers and institutions across the UK and beyond.

You will bring:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Strong financial accounting and statutory reporting experience.
• Experience of investment accounting, financial services or auditing organisations with significant investment portfolios would be advantageous.
• Sound knowledge of financial reporting principles, with charity accounting experience desirable but not essential.
• Experience improving financial processes, systems and reporting.
• Excellent analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and relationship-building abilities.
• A hands-on, adaptable approach and willingness to contribute across a broad range of activities.

Why Join the Leverhulme Trust?

• This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected charitable institutions and work at the heart of an organisation that invests heavily in research, education and innovation.
• Generous 25% pension contribution scheme
• Play a key role within a nationally significant charity with a multi-billion-pound endowment.
