Working closely with our Chief Executive and Senior Management Team, you’ll:
- Lead the migration from QuickBooks to Xero (or an agreed cloud accounting platform).

You’ll probably have experience of:
- Charity finance.
- Management accounting.
- Budgeting and forecasting.
- Audit preparation.
- Financial controls.
- Cloud accounting systems (Xero experience is highly desirable).
- Leading change and improving systems.
- Supporting non-finance managers.
- Working collaboratively with senior leaders and Trustees.
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys solving problems, embracing technology and helping organisations grow.

That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists, to empower and equip people with entrepreneurial ideas and solutions to grow the social economy. The social economy is a movement of organisations and enterprises that prioritise people and planet.

Our grants run alongside learning programmes, challenging and supporting leaders. We’re innovative in how we do this, through both traditional and enterprise grants. We lead on Match Trading™, a grant that challenges leaders to grow their trading income, and we are working on further grants innovations.

You will support the development of grant policies and processes, writing grant paperwork and documentation, overseeing payments, and reporting to the wider Programmes Team and others about our work.
You don’t need to have managed grants before, but you do need to have a good understanding of a wide range enterprises and charities, gained through experience of training, business consultancy or development support. You will have a good understanding of business models, legal structures and financial systems that social and environmental organisations and community run and owned businesses may use.
