Kyra is York’s only independent women’s charity dedicated to self-development and wellbeing. We bring together women from all walks of life who may be feeling isolated, vulnerable or simply seeking connection and growth. Run by women, for women, we’re proud of our warm, inclusive, and supportive community.

This role is a brilliant opportunity to work at the heart of a values-led charity, playing a key part in ensuring our financial health and operational stability. You’ll be a vital partner to our CEO and Board of Trustees, enabling them to focus on strategy and sustainability, while you provide oversight on everything from budgeting and reporting to payroll and process improvement.

• Improving processes and strengthening back-office efficiency
Who we’re looking for:
• A solid background in finance, bookkeeping and payroll
• Experience using accounting software (we use Xero)
• Understanding of charity finance and the Charity SORP (or a willingness to learn)
• Experience managing restricted funds and funder reporting
• Great attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• A proactive, collaborative approach—you’re not afraid to get stuck in
• The confidence to work independently and the initiative to identify and introduce improvements where appropriate
Why join Kyra?
• Purposeful work in a women-centred organisation
• A supportive and flexible working environment
• A chance to shape and strengthen a small, impactful charity
• 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• An extra day off for your birthday
