As a growing and values-driven company, we combine the heart of social purpose with the ambition of business success. We believe in better outcomes for children—and in doing so, better outcomes for the company. We are building an entrepreneurial, committed team who are aligned in purpose and passionate about impact.

Role Purpose

This is a dynamic administrative and financial support role, vital to the effective day-to-day operation of our organisation.

• Support HR onboarding and administrative updates for new and existing staff.
• Coordinate calendars, document libraries, and business-wide workflows.
• Provide high-level admin and operational support to the Managing Director.

• Minimum 2 years' experience in a finance or business support role (regulated or care sectors advantageous).
• Graduates/Entry level applicants with a strong business or finance background and the right mindset are also encouraged to apply.
• Solid understanding of basic accounting, VAT, bank reconciliation, and document control.
• Entrepreneurial spirit: problem-solver, commercially aware, and results-driven.

• Meticulous attention to detail and strong organisational discipline.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver under pressure.
• Strong IT skills, particularly Excel, Outlook, and finance/HR software platforms.
• A proactive and thoughtful mindset with high levels of discretion, loyalty and integrity
