Neighbourhood Watch Network (NWN) is the representative charity for the Neighbourhood Watch movement across England and Wales with over 2.3M members and 60,000 volunteers. We are the largest volunteer led crime prevention and community development charity in the UK. Neighbourhood Watch Network supports and represents the successful grass roots, volunteer led group of organisations under the Neighbourhood Watch brand. We are funded by the Home Office, charitable trusts and foundations, donations and sponsor organisations in the private sector.
Neighbourhood Watch was founded on the premise of bringing people together as neighbours and communities to help prevent crime and all the evidence suggests that the need for this today is as great as it has ever been.
We have received funding to start several new projects, and now need a Finance Officer to join the Finance Manager in a small finance team to support the growing organisation. The Finance Officer will also support the wider team with expenses, reviewing their spending verses their budgets, and will help manage the online shop.
Our mission is to support and enable individuals and communities to be connected, active and safe, which increases wellbeing and minimises crime.
