We are looking for an individual with strong finance operations experience to join us as our Finance Operations Officer, where you will work closely with colleagues across the organisation and with external partners to deliver an efficient, well-controlled and customer-focused finance service that maximises our impact for children.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role

As Finance Operations Officer, you will play a key role in delivering a high-quality finance operations service across the organisation. You will ensure accurate and timely processing of income and costs, maintain strong financial controls and reconciliations, and help colleagues across the business understand and use finance processes effectively. You will also work collaboratively with internal teams, external suppliers and partners, including Save the Children International and its member organisations, to support statutory and donor reporting, audits and continuous improvement across our finance systems and processes.

In this role, you will:

• Provide leadership and expert guidance on finance processes including income and cost accounting, reconciliations, retail controls, accounts payable and accounts receivable, ensuring services meet agreed service level agreements.
• Maintain strong financial control by owning and completing bank, cash and balance sheet reconciliations, identifying and resolving discrepancies promptly.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying, designing and implementing enhancements to finance processes and systems to improve efficiency, controls and user experience.
• Ensure accurate and timely processing of financial transactions, supporting smooth month-end and year-end close and high-quality financial reporting.
• Support statutory and donor audits by responding to queries and providing clear, timely and well-documented evidence.
• Support treasury activities, ensuring payments and refunds are processed securely, on time and in line with organisational policies.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Experience in a complex organisation delivering finance operations across income and cost accounting, reconciliations, retail controls, accounts payable and accounts receivable.
• Proven experience of month-end and year-end processes, including journals, data uploads, payment runs and resolving financial issues.
• Strong knowledge of financial accounting concepts and their application within a charity or not-for-profit environment.
• A proactive approach to identifying, developing and implementing controls and process improvements.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to explain financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues and work collaboratively across teams.
• Strong organisational, analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage a varied workload and meet deadlines.
• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

What we offer you

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Location & Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.

This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
