This could be from a professional services, consultancy, construction, or engineering background potentially. Managers or Senior Managers from practice who have prepared accounts for charities in the past will also be considered. In return for your skills and experience, a competitive package is on offer to include a bonus scheme, 30+ days annual leave and a fantastic pension scheme. The role is hybrid with 2-3 days based onsite in Brighton. Candidates need to be based within easy commuting distance of Brighton to apply.
