We are seeking an experienced accountant to manage the finances of the Trust and lead the finance team during a period of maternity leave of the existing postholder. This role is an integral part of a finance department that strives to deliver high quality financial services to the Trust and its subsidiaries.
The successful candidate will ideally have experience of working in a charity environment and will be able to evidence strong skills across a range of finance responsibilities and in particular, the development of finance software, following the introduction of a new system in April last year. We are looking for a confident leader, able to deliver effective change and embed new finance processes. This is a hands-on role needing a practical, problem solving approach and has the opportunity to really make a difference.
Experience of XLedger would be an advantage and an interest in nature is desirable. The role is 21 hours worked over 3 days a week. As this is an interim role the contract will span for 1 year (finishing 31st March 2026).
