Charity experience - Qualified Financial Professional - Good communicator - Collaborative - UK based

Background

NAPAC (the National Association for People Abused in Childhood) is entering an important period of growth. Our income sources are diversifying, our public profile is rising and our operations are becoming more complex. With new earned income streams, additional grant funding, VAT considerations and more detailed Board reporting, we are now strengthening our finance function to ensure accuracy, clarity and confidence in all financial matters.

We are therefore seeking a freelance finance professional to provide part-time, ongoing operational finance support. The role involves managing our monthly financial bookkeeping and reporting functions, working closely with our Chief Operating Officer and wider team. Our current provider will continue to handle payroll and year-end audit preparation, but we are moving our day-to-day finance support to this new model.

We are looking for a proactive, highly competent individual who can understand the way NAPAC works and provide accurate, timely and thoughtful financial support. This is a key role that underpins our success and gives confidence to the team, trustees, funders and external stakeholders.

Scope of Work

The successful individual will be responsible for:

• Maintaining accurate financial records in Xero, including all necessary transactional data entry (such as inputting and coding income, expenses, invoices and credit notes), reconciling bank and PayPal accounts and preparing monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet and cashflow reports).
• Supporting monthly reporting cycles for internal governance (Income Generation Subcommittee and full Board).
• Liaising with our team to ensure invoices are raised, chased and coded accurately.
• Managing grant income allocations and restricted funds tracking in line with funder requirements.
• Supporting our team with financial queries, budget phasing and grant planning.
• Advising on Xero housekeeping (e.g. Chart of Accounts simplification, tracking codes).
• Advising on VAT issues, including preparation for registration if required (though this may be handled separately with legal input).
• Supporting periodic financial forecasting and budgeting alongside the CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
• Attending virtual meetings as required (Income Generation Subcommittee monthly; quarterly Board meetings and ad hoc meetings with staff).
• Ensuring a smooth handover and transition from the current provider.

Occasional projects may include:

• A full review and restructuring of our Chart of Accounts.
• Retrospective re-coding of entries for YTD accuracy and reporting.
• Supporting audit/year-end examination preparations (collaborating with TC-Group as our year-end auditor).

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong experience in operational charity finance or with social enterprises.
• Has demonstrable experience of restructuring a Chart of Accounts within finance systems.
• Holds or is training towards a recognised accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or who can demonstrate equivalent experience in operational finance roles, particularly where they have led on financial reporting, forecasting and working within Xero-led systems.
• Has excellent working knowledge of Xero and related finance systems.
• Understands the operational pressures faced by small to medium-sized charities.
• Can lucidly explain financial information for colleagues with varied levels of financial literacy.
• Is detail-oriented, reliable and a clear communicator.
• Is comfortable working independently but collaboratively.
• Can offer a blend of rigour, responsiveness and a values-driven approach.
• Is based in the UK and able to attend NAPAC's London office at least once per month.
• Is available during business hours (09:00-17:00).

Time Commitment and Working Style

The expected time commitment is approximately three-six days per month, depending on workload and reporting periods. We anticipate this may be higher in the first two-three months to support onboarding, systems review and transition from our existing provider. We are open to flexibility and working arrangements.

This role will primarily be delivered remotely, but requires in-person attendance at NAPAC's London office at least once per month. The successful provider must be available during UK business hours (09:00-17:00) to attend scheduled meetings as needed both via Teams online and in-person.

A laptop will not be provided, but full IT onboarding and access to relevant systems (e.g. Xero, Teams, secure file-sharing platforms) will be arranged, along with any required security protocols. Payment will be on a day-rate basis, agreed in advance.

Expression of Interest and Selection Process

To apply, please email an up-to-date CV and an Expression of Interest cover letter of no more than two pages (address in attached brief). 

Expressions of Interest are being accepted until 10am on Monday 26 January 2026.

 Your Expression of Interest should include:

• Your relevant experience, including specific examples of Chart of Accounts restructuring
• Your day rates
• Your reasons for wanting to work with NAPAC
• Your contact details

Merseyside Youth Association Limited is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to maintaining a non-abusive environment

Our Second Home is the UK’s youth movement of young people with refugee backgrounds. Since 2018, we have supported over 750 young people from 53 countries to build community, develop leadership skills, and flourish into adulthood in the place they now call home.

Our work begins with transformational residential experiences, where young people form friendships, grow in confidence, and experience belonging – often for the first time since arriving in the UK. From there, many go on to take part in our Leadership Training Programme and local Youth Hubs in London and Bristol, before returning as peer leaders themselves. This cycle of engagement, growth and leadership is at the heart of our theory of change.

We are now entering a pivotal phase of our development, delivering a new 2025–2028 strategy focused on sustainable growth, deeper impact, and long-term resilience. Fundraising is central to this ambition.

The role (Read the recruitment pack for more information)

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to act as the organisation’s operational lead for income generation. This is a part-time role (18–24 hours per week) with significant flexibility, ideal for someone who is organised, thoughtful, and motivated by building something meaningful.

The Fundraising Manager will manage and coordinate income across five strands: trusts and foundations, major donors, corporate foundations, individual and digital giving, and statutory funding. While the role has a strong trusts and foundations focus, it offers real scope to build skills and experience across a broad fundraising portfolio.

Working closely with the CEO, a highly experienced freelance Bid Writer, and the wider team, you will be responsible for developing funding pipelines, producing high-quality proposals and applications, stewarding funder relationships, and translating programme impact into compelling narratives. You will also play a key role in donor communications, reporting, CRM management, and supporting campaigns and events.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys balancing writing, relationship-building, planning and delivery – and who values doing fundraising with integrity and care.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience in fundraising (particularly trusts and foundations) or strong transferable skills such as persuasive writing, project management, or stakeholder engagement. You will be comfortable managing multiple deadlines, maintaining an organised pipeline, and working independently while staying closely connected to a small team.

You will bring strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build warm, professional relationships with funders and supporters. Experience using a CRM system is important, as is an understanding of – or willingness to learn about – the UK voluntary sector funding landscape.

Above all, we are looking for someone who aligns with our values: putting young people at the centre, acting with rather than for, creating opportunities for leadership, and building a culture of freedom, respect and acceptance. We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the asylum system.

This is a role for someone who wants their fundraising work to be closely connected to real people, real programmes, and real change – and who is excited to help shape the next chapter of a growing, values-led organisation.

The Pilgrims’ Friend Society is a long-established Christian charity supporting older people to live well in safe, caring communities. We are seeking an experienced and inspiring Housing Operations Manager to lead our housing services and shape their future.

You will provide visible, pastoral leadership to housing managers and residents, fostering cohesive teams, engaged communities and well-run schemes. You will oversee budgets, service charges, health and safety, safeguarding and GDPR, while ensuring our properties remain clean, safe and attractive. Resident engagement sits at the heart of the role, including meetings, consultation, prayer and community building.
