Admin and Finance Officer

Job description

Here at Charity Horizons we are delighted to be partnering with a National Education Charity whose primary aim is to advance the education of young people in mathematics. They do this by working with hundreds of volunteers across the UK to organise maths competitions promoting problem solving and teamwork and other mathematical enrichment activities. As a charity, they are just about to embark on an exciting new period of strategic growth and are looking for talented, committed, ambitious and innovative individuals to help them on their journey - could this be you?

We are looking for an Admin and Finance Officer to work directly on specific activities and support the team by working closely with our incredible volunteers and supporters, providing excellent stewardship and communications, as well as being the first port of call for general and financial enquiries from our supporters. The main duties of this role will be extremely varied and will include importing income data on the UKMT website and entering sales invoice payments onto the website. You will download bank statements, resolve issues with unidentified payments and unpaid invoices, and ensure outgoing payments are made in a timely manner. Another key part of the role will be liaising with accountants, auditors and other relevant parties to ensure financial records are up to date and information is provided accurately.

To be considered for this role you should come to us with previous administration and finance experience. You will have effective organisational, time management and excellent interpersonal skills. Strong customer service skills are a must, as is the ability to solve problems and communicate with people across all levels of the organisation and the general public. A high level of accuracy attention and excellent numeracy skills are also essential. Experience of using Xero, Sage or other accounting software would be advantageous.

The role is largely home-based, but will involve working from the charity's offices in Thorpe Park 1-2 days a week. This really is a hugely exciting opportunity to join an ambitious, supportive and innovative team at a hugely exciting time as the charity looks to grow and progress and enter an exciting new phase of it's journey.

Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format, such as audio or video upload, please contact either Charlie or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this.
