We are looking for a solution-focused Admin & Finance Assistant to join a small, friendly team who believe in the power of volunteering and active citizenship. Based in our main office, this Admin & Finance role is varied and busy. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working with numbers and Excel, and will pick up new systems and processes with ease. The role Around half of the role involves administration and office tasks, essential to the smooth running of the organisation. Youll be assisting with HR administration, managing the facilities, equipment and supplies, and assisting colleagues and volunteers. Although the other half of the role is finance-based, you dont necessarily need prior accounting experience. If you find it satisfying to work methodically and with attention to detail, youll be perfectly suited to this. Youll look after our financial records in Xero, a user-friendly, online accounting system. This role is part-time and we are open to between 21 and 28 hours per week to be agreed with the successful candidate. The hours may be worked over three, four or five days, Monday to Friday. About you As well as being able to manage a busy workload with competing priorities, the ideal candidate will be comfortable learning and working with systems and processes, and adapting them to improve efficiency. Youll be highly numerate as well as confident and experienced in Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. While experience of basic financial administration or bookkeeping would be beneficial, you can learn this on the job. Excellent communication skills are essential, as youll be working with colleagues and volunteers in a busy office.
