Job description

Finance Officer (12-month maternity cover)


Location: Hybrid/remote working (at least 2 days per week based in our Central London office, however we want to get the best from you, so we are open to discussion).

Contract: Fixed term contract

Duration: 12 months, 35hrs p/wk.  

Peace Direct does not currently hold a sponsorship license and therefore if you do not have the right to work in the UK, we cannot accept your application.

Note: We prefer non-AI applications.


Who we are 
Peace Direct is an international charity with a vision for a just world, free from violent conflict. Working in partnership with local peacebuilders in some of the world’s most conflict-affected places, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace. More than that, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace.

The Role 
Working with a committed and talented team, the Finance Officer is responsible for:

- Recording transactions in our accounting software (Iplicit) and keeping financial records accurate and up to date

- Preparing payments and liaising with banks and payment platforms

- Supporting month-end reporting, reconciliations, and management accounts

- Assisting with annual audit preparation

- Working closely with colleagues across Peace Direct to ensure grants and programmes are well supported

About You: We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Educated to A level and/or working towards a relevant accounting qualification
  • Enthusiastic about finance and accounting
  • Has good attention to detail
  • Accurate, organised, and systematic in their approach
  • Able to meet deadlines and keep finance systems up to date

In short, we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, bring their prior experience to the table, and thrive with minimal supervision.

We will coordinate with the Finance Officer Cover for a handover to ensure a smooth transition between the outgoing and incoming Finance Officers.

How to Apply

Please send your CV and a cover letter detailing relevant experience and why you are interested in the role via Charity Jobs. Please indicate in your cover letter, should you choose to, whether you are applying through the Disability Confident Scheme.

We also offer candidates the choice of submitting a video clip, ie. a video cover letter if this is preferable to a written cover letter. To ensure fairness we suggest you turn the camera off so that we only hear your voice. The video should be no more than 2 minutes in length. You should email it as a video link via WeTransfer or any other file sharing tool, to our recruitment inbox, the address of which you will find on the jobs page of our website as unfortunately the Charity Jobs website does not permit a url to be inserted here.


For the video cover letter, the following should guide your speaking points. Switch the camera off and state the following:

  • Your name
  • The job you are applying for;
  • Describe your overall skills and abilities (as they relate to the post being advertised);
  • A brief description of your work experience (in relation to the post being advertised);
  • What makes you qualified for the new position;
  • Any additional details that help introduce yourself

You should choose either a written cover letter or a video cover letter, but we request that you please do NOT submit both.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a short supplementary information form.
 
Interviews will be held online during the week of 19th January 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be informed should a second interview stage be necessary.
