1. INTRODUCTION
This post of Finance Officer is to be employed by the Inspire and Achieve Foundation to lead the finance activity for IAF programmes and projects across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. www.inspireandachieve.co.uk
INSPIRE AND ACHIEVE FOUNDATION (IAF)
The Inspire and Achieve Foundation is a small, thriving Nottinghamshire-based charity that helps unemployed young people aged 16-26 into positive outcomes and employment. We are a dedicated and ethically driven team that puts the needs of the young person at the heart of all our provision. We are looking for ‘can-do’ employees who are passionate, enthusiastic, have empathy and integrity, who are hard-working (go above and beyond), and who have a demonstrable passion for helping young people.
Our provision includes youth activities, one-to-one mentoring/work coaching, and training programmes (inc. the King’s Trust Team Programme). This role will be based in Mansfield with occasional travel to other sites. Hybrid working will be considered for the right candidate.
2. FURTHER DETAILS
You will be responsible for the day-to-day financial function within the Inspire and Achieve Foundation, including bookkeeping, tracking and evidencing spend, making and tracking payments and invoices, managing payroll, and ensuring good accounting practices are upheld.
Working alongside the Director (Executive) and the Treasurer (Trustee Board), you will lead on the preparation of the quarterly management accounts for the Board and the charity's annual accounts.
The charity has a variety of funding streams and contracts that are continually changing, and this post will be responsible for tracking and allocating expenditure and income against funder criteria as required. Experience of dealing with charity sector finance, including the management of restricted and unrestricted funding, is highly desirable but not essential.

This position is the only finance role within the charity, and as such, the right candidate will be able to work independently with minimal supervision and will be willing and able to apply themselves to anything from basic financial administration through to managing the charity accounts.
This is an exciting and challenging role for a highly motivated, dynamic, and creative individual who is passionate about helping young people make positive changes in their lives.
