Are you interested in a role where you receive full on the job training and no previous experience is required?
Do you seek a role where you are valued, and your work really counts to the team succeeding?
Are you well organised and able to work to routine?
Do you want to make a real difference to applicants applying to York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity?
If so, this role could be for you!
We are looking for someone to join our Charity Finance Team, a small team based at Tribune House, Clifton Moor, York.
This fixed term/secondment role is to provide Maternity cover for a minimum of 9 months.
No previous experience in either Finance or the Charity sector are required for this role. Full ‘on the job’ training will be provided by the Charity Finance Team Leader.
We are open to candidates applying for the role who can provide equivalent qualifications, or explain previous experience in relation to the Person Specification.
The role is 30 hours per week, Monday - Friday working within a flexi-time policy.
After the probationary period, our current working policies permit an element of remote/hybrid working options which would allow the successful candidate to work remotely for some of the working week.
Please note - if you would like your application to be considered for secondment, you must secure agreement from your line manager beforehand that you can be released to undertake the role.
What are the main duties in the life of a Charity Finance Assistant?
• Managing our emails – responding to email applications and queries
• Processing “Request to Expend” forms – these are completed when someone wants to make a purchase using charitable funds and are logged on a simple spreadsheet
• Emailing applicants to confirm when funds have been approved
• Working with the team leader to collate information from finance reports to enter in to the charity finance system – again no prior finance knowledge or experience is required for this, training will be provided
We are looking for someone who is a confident user of email. Experience of using Microsoft Excel would be useful but not essential, as the spreadsheet files we use in this role are basic and full training will be provided.
Whilst the role is within the Finance team, it is predominately an administration role and we are looking for someone with good administration skills, who is organised, to ensure tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Still interested? Then we would really like to receive an application from you!
