Are you looking for a role that fits around your life, not the other way around?
Do you want to be part of a supportive team that values work-life balance as much as you do?
Here's your chance to join a dynamic, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting essential sectors across the UK. For nearly 80 years, they've been a key player in supporting professionals by creating chances for networking, offering training, and providing resources that help both individuals and organisations thrive. Now, they are seeking their new Head of Finance in this part-time, flexible position working on a hybrid basis.
Picture this: your mornings are free for school drop-offs, or perhaps to enjoy that long walk with the dog on a morning. And say goodbye to long, stressful commutes! Working from home means you can skip the traffic and enjoy a more relaxed start to your day, allowing you to spend more time doing what you love.
Whether you prefer to work across 3, 4, or 5 days, the hours will be tailored to fit your schedule with one day per week in their Gateshead office, allowing you to excel in your career while managing personal commitments.
As Head of Finance, you will lead the financial strategy, ensuring the organisation runs smoothly while managing a dedicated Accounts Assistant who has been with the business for almost 10 years. This is a new role offering a unique opportunity to shape its direction and contribute to the organisation's growth and sustainability.
Your day-to-day tasks will include overseeing payments, invoicing, bookkeeping, and budget control, as well as producing monthly and quarterly management accounts. You will collaborate closely with external accountants during audits and ensure that VAT and other tax returns are filed accurately.
Key responsibilities will involve managing payroll and employee benefits, liaising with volunteer Treasurers, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. While experience in voluntary organisations is ideal, it is not essential; a genuine passion for supporting community-oriented initiatives is highly valued.
As part of the benefits package, you'll enjoy a generous holiday allowance of 28 days (pro-rata) plus bank holidays, as well as a pension contribution of 5%, which can be matched up to 8%.
So, if you're ready to contribute to an organisation that values integrity, supportiveness, and sustainability, while enjoying the flexibility to manage your personal commitments, click 'Apply' now!
