With the hugely successful reopening of Paisley Town Hall this year and the highly anticipated relaunch of the Paisley Museum in 2026, OneRen is experiencing one of its busiest and most transformative periods.

This is a hybrid role (37 hours), with flexible start and finish times, designed to give you balance while keeping you close to the action.

• Guiding and advising budget holders, senior managers and leadership teams
• Delivering ad-hoc financial analysis to support organisational initiatives
• Assisting with Board and Committee financial reports and statutory returns
• Contributing to the annual accounts process and preparing supporting papers
• Helping shape OneRen's revenue budget for the year ahead
• Working with teams on business plans for new investment and service development
• Supporting long-term financial planning and corporate initiatives

Who We're Looking For

• A qualified accountant or an accountant qualified by experience with strong management accounting skills
• Excellent technical finance knowledge and reporting skills
• Strong communication and the ability to influence non-finance colleagues
• A proactive approach, resilience, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
