The Role

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, detail orientated, and proactive. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with financial systems and data and supporting colleagues with financial processes and information. You will be a highly valued member of the team, playing a key role in ensuring the smooth running of day-today finance operations, supporting budgeting and reporting processes, and contributing to strong financial governance.

This is an opportunity to develop your finance skills in a supportive environment, gain insight into how a charitable organisation operates, and play an important role in enabling work that makes a big difference in the lives of people who experience mental illness.

The Finance Officer is responsible for supporting the maintenance of financial and administrative services working closely with the Finance Lead. The role will be part of the Finance & Operations team, working across financial and accounting functions.

Is this role right for me?

  • This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone with some previous
    experience in a finance or accounting role.
  • You are comfortable handling core finance tasks and understand how financial processes contribute to organisational effectiveness.
  • You have a working knowledge or MS Office products such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint and are
    confident in using accounting software.
  • You are self-organized with strong planning and prioritization skills which will allow you to effectively manage a variable workload workload with guidance from the Finance Lead.
  • You can spot where and how to improve processes and will take the initiative to share opportunities and suggest changes to others.
  • You might be developing your finance career and may be studying, or interested in studying, a
    professional qualification.
  • You are a keen learner and enjoy working independently as well as collaboratively to achieve
    objectives.
  • You have great communication skills, enjoy building relationships and inspire confidence and respect at all levels.
  • You can demonstrate the impact you’ve made in the organisations you’ve worked with in the past. They’re impressed with how you work, how you support them, and what you make happen.
  • All of our team demonstrate leadership qualities, whether they manage people or not, and they put them into action in different ways: leading a project, using their initiative, knowing when to ask for support.
  • We actively encourage applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences as we seek to be representative of the south London community.
