Cartwheel Arts co-creates inclusive arts opportunities with diverse communities that enhance well-being and celebrate culture and heritage. They call this Art for a Reason.
At this exciting time for the organisation, a National Portfolio Organisation, and a member of the GMCA Culture Portfolio, Cartwheel Arts are looking for an experienced Finance Officer to manage their financial operations and related administrative processes. This includes maintaining accurate financial records, processing invoices and payments, reconciling book-keeping software (currently Quickbooks), and producing regular management accounts. You will be responsible to and work closely with the Managing Director to ensure financial information is provided to the Board of Trustees, funders and other stakeholders; and act as Secretary to the Finance Task Group, convening and minuting meetings.
The right candidate will have experience in finance and accounting and a strong understanding of charity finance. The candidate will work closely with senior leadership and the Programme Coordinators to ensure budgets and financial reporting are up-to-date and comply with legal regulations.
The Finance Officer post is part time (15 hours per week) at a salary of £28,282 per annum (£9,554.70 pro rata). The post enjoys a 7.5% employer pension contribution, with a requirement of 0.5% contribution to be made by the post-holder, and 30 days holiday plus public holidays pro rata.
Cartwheel Arts currently offer hybrid working arrangements but would expect the post holder to work in person in Heywood on Wednesdays. Some evening working will be required to attend quarterly Board & Task Group meetings, and occasional weekend working to attend the annual AGM and other public events as required.
Cartwheel Arts are a small staff team, and all members play an active part in the life of the company. They share tasks and responsibilities in running the company, from housekeeping to strategic planning.
Cartwheel Arts is an equal opportunities employer, and they welcome applications from all sections of the community. They are particularly interested to hear from candidates who live in Rochdale and/or identify as being of the global majority, disabled, neurodiverse and/or LGBTQ+ communities.
Practical experience is more important to Cartwheel Arts than formal qualifications.
Closing date: Thursday 24th April at 10am (applications received after this time will not be considered).
Interviews will be conducted on Wednesday 7th May and will consist of an in-person interview in Heywood. Applicants should ensure that they can be available on the date indicated.
The successful candidate will be offered the post subject to an enhanced DBS check, proof of right to work in the UK and references.
