Job description

Finance Officer

£40,000 FTE (pro rata) 21 hours per week Hybrid Glasgow

A finance role offering the flexibility you want, the responsibility you enjoy and a cause worth being part of.

Good part‑time finance opportunities aren't always easy to find, particularly those offering genuine ownership, a supportive environment and the chance to contribute beyond the day‑to‑day numbers.

That's what makes this opportunity with a well‑established Scottish charity worth exploring.

Working alongside a network of community organisations across Scotland, our client uses the power of sport to improve health, tackle poverty, build skills and bring people together.

It’s an ambitious mission, and a well‑run finance function plays an important part.

The opportunity

You’ll take ownership of the charity’s day‑to‑day finances, working closely with the Chief Executive and a small, supportive team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing transactions, payments and reconciliations using Sage 50.
• Preparing financial reports, budgets and forecasts.
• Monitoring project finances, including restricted and unrestricted funds.
• Supporting the integration of financial processes following a recent merger.
• Liaising with external accountants, auditors and payroll providers.

It’s a hands‑on role offering independence, variety and the chance to contribute as the organisation develops.

What we’re looking for

You’ll have solid bookkeeping or finance experience, ideally within a charity or not‑for‑profit organisation, and a good understanding of charity accounting.

You don’t need to be a qualified accountant. Being organised, dependable, comfortable taking ownership and enjoying teamwork matters more.

An appreciation of the positive impact community‑focused organisations can have is equally important.

Why consider it?

You’ll enjoy flexibility in how your 21 hours are worked, hybrid working, pension contributions, healthcare cover, a family‑friendly environment and a two‑week Christmas closure.

You’ll also join a welcoming team where people are trusted, supported and encouraged to contribute.
