Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time.
People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.
As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at whatever time of day.
SCAA is seeking to appoint an experienced, qualified, professional Finance Manager with strong analytical skills, capable of producing and presenting financial information in a succinct and straightforward manner. The preferred candidate will have experience of producing management accounts and other management information relating to organisational performance, cashflow, investment reporting and budget analysis.

They will also develop and strengthen relationships with banks, insurers, investment managers, auditors and other professionals. The person will be expected to produce and present a range of financial information, query and challenge any unusual and misleading information and to support his/her colleagues in the office as required to further the objectives of the charity.
This is a growing charity, and you will have a broad remit, and we are looking for a fully Qualified Accountant holding a CA, ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent membership with experience ideally gained in charity accounting, external reporting and internal management accounting.
The successful candidate is likely to be operating in a similar role in the Private, Public or Third sectors and looking for a new challenge.
