Unity is a charity that cares passionately about people, both the vulnerable and disadvantaged service users we support and our amazing team who make Unity a great place to work. We are looking for a Finance & Governance Coordinator to support the effective operations of Unity’s finance function.
Reporting to the Head of Finance and Corporate Services, the Finance & Governance Coordinator oversees our monthly payroll process, as well as the effective and timely invoicing and processing of payments. They ensure adherence to our finance policies and procedures and also provide administrative support to our board of trustees, ensuring good governance is maintained.
The successful candidate will bring a minimum of 5 years experience in a finance-related position, ideally within a charity setting. We also want you to have a detailed knowledge of the Sage finance system, experience of both management and financial accounting practices, and excellent Excel skills. Previous experience of supporting effective charity governance is desirable but not essential.
Unity is a values-led organisation and we’re looking for applicants who share our outlook and demonstrate equality, inclusion, honesty, fairness, bravery, respect, and kindness in their behaviour and actions.
As well as an excellent workplace culture and competitive salary, Unity also offers generous annual leave, starting at 36 days (including 9 public holidays) and rising to 43 days, as well as a 5% employer's pension contribution and further benefits and discounts. Unity also has a comprehensive learning and development programme at an organisational, team, and individual level.
About Unity
Our services are split across three areas – supporting young and adult carers, supporting adults with learning difficulties, and our social enterprise, the Spoon Café. Unity is committed to creating a brilliant workplace culture, and our average length of service for our staff is more than 5 years. Don’t take our word for it though. Here's what our staff say:
“I love my job because I can see the positive impact I have on our service users every single day. It’s so rewarding.”
“I've been with Unity for 12 years and worked in various different roles. I've got a number of qualifications during that time. No two days are ever the same and I love the variety the job brings.”
Unity was named UK Company of the Year 2024 by Investors in People, an accolade we’re really proud of. We hold IIP Silver status and are also a Scottish Living Wage and Disability Confident employer. We are working hard towards the Carer Positive Established award (currently hold Engaged accreditation), as well as our LGBT Charter. We expect to complete both in the first half of 2025.
Are you enthusiastic about making a difference in young people’s lives?
Helm’s long-term vision is a Scotland where all young people dare to dream and can make those dreams a reality. Our more immediate mission is to ensure that young people in Scotland have access to the education and training that supports them to learn. Our strategy for achieving this focuses on three key activities, which we believe will make education, training, and employment accessible and achievable for all:
* Remove Barriers to Learning and Employment
* Develop Education, Training and Employment Services
We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual who is an education and employment sector ambassador with a deep working understanding of the issues facing disadvantaged young people and families in Dundee and throughout Scotland. You will have significant leadership, management, and change experience, the gravitas and credibility to engage effectively with education and employability professionals, and the energy and personality required to lead a youth-focused organisation with authenticity and drive. The successful candidate will have significant senior management experience in a relatively large organisation in an education, social work, or youth work environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide leadership to the charity and inspire others to embody its values
* Develop and lead the charity's strategy
* Create strategic partnerships outside the charity
* Create a high-quality work environment that is attractive to staff
* Ensure compliance with regulatory and legal requirements
* Take executive responsibility for the financial leadership of Helm
* Be responsible for the implementation of Helm’s business and operational plans
What do we give you in return? We provide you with a competitive salary, 35 days annual leave, health benefits, a pension plan, a generous range of benefits, and job satisfaction with a real opportunity to make a difference every day.
We are committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all young people and use a thorough and rigorous recruitment and selection process including PVG Scheme checks to ensure this commitment is not compromised.
