Charity Finance Manager and Yoga Teacher

The Finance Manager works closely with the Chief Officer and is an active member of the management team, developing and implementing the organisation's strategy and business plan.

Leading on the internal operational management of the organisation, you will be responsible for financial management, controls and reporting, as well as having oversight of IT and HR. You will have a keen focus on improving systems and processes. You will also manage, support and train the finance assistant.

The Finance Manager plays a key role in ensuring the Board of trustees have accurate information in order to make decisions that are in the best interests of the charity. You will maintain organisational compliance as required by a company limited by guarantee and a Scottish charity, including acting as Company Secretary.

Role, skills and experience

Our new Finance Manager will be a creative, analytical and solution-focused individual who enjoys working with numbers and data.

We would ideally like the new Finance Manager to start the role around 4th August to facilitate a four-week handover with the current postholder.
