The NSPCC is its people.

Employees and volunteers who feel their best, can be their best and give of their best; playing their part in the fight for every childhood.

Children and young people – who need us to be with them and here for them. Today. Tomorrow. For as long as it takes.

About the role

This role is key to ensuring that the executive director of finance and technology, and executive director of people fulfil their responsibilities. The directorates that these directors lead provide the leadership in effective financial management and control, and ensure we create a culture where all our people feel valued for the individual they are and for the contribution they make.

About you

You have well developed interpersonal skills and are administratively very strong. Much of this strength of yours will come from managing busy inboxes and diaries, planning and arranging meetings, taking accurate minutes and other direct or transferable responsibilities you have had.

You focus on the customer, and you are able to write and speak clearly and confidently to a varied audience, including peers and colleagues, managers, senior leaders, trustees and members of the public. Calm under pressure, you are comfortable working on your own and as part of a team, where you build and nurture strong relationships.

You organise and plan your own work, establishing clear priorities and always delivering work to the highest standard you are able to. You thrive on solving problems and finding solutions.

What's in it for you?

Benchmarked pay, a generous set of terms and conditions, a fulfilling working environment and the opportunity to make a difference. Every single day.

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.

NSPCC is that the NSPCC highly embraces,

encourages and promotes diversity and

inclusiveness of staff.
