About The Role
Are you looking for a role where you can really make a difference? Changeworks, Scotland's leading environmental charity, is recruiting a Finance Manager to play a key role in helping us tackle the climate emergency.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, the Finance Manager will be responsible for the effective running of our finance function. You'll provide accurate and timely financial information to assist executive, senior management, and budget holders with effective decision-making. You'll line manage the Finance Officer and Finance Assistant and ensure that finance functions for the organization run effectively and efficiently.
Your role will also include the development, improvement, and implementation of operational financial procedures including the finance and expense system. You will assist the Head of Finance in ensuring the charity continues to comply with VAT regulations and will work with HR on payroll and pension administration.
Applicants for this role should have full or substantial progress towards full membership of a professional accountancy body or significant experience as a Finance Manager.
This role requires strong communication skills as you will be a key contact explaining financial information to non-finance professionals across Changeworks. You'll be confident to work autonomously and take the initiative, as well as work as part of a team.
About Us
Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organizations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.
The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organizations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonization projects and programmes.
We are a growing organization, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonize homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You'll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.
We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme, and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.
At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
