Project Accountant jobs in Germany

£26,000 per year. Full-time, 35 hours per week. Fixed-term role until the end of January 2027. Based in London / home and flexible working.

Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. They’re helping people change their stories. You could join them to support their work with volunteers across the country.

Our client’s project trains, engages and supports volunteers to design new and exciting ways to promote reading and writing in their neighbourhood or workplace. This action includes everything from community book swaps and reading corners to book gifting and reading groups.

They are recruiting two project officers to help deliver this work, particularly as they scale up delivery during the 2026 National Year of Reading. Working as part of a small team, you will be responsible for working with individual and corporate volunteers. You will help them to identify volunteering opportunities, provide training and support, and mobilise key community partnerships. You will also provide essential project administration, including ordering resources, processing safeguarding information and maintaining accurate records, and help create processes and support that enable volunteers to deliver sustainable projects and activities that improve outcomes.

You will be contracted to our client’s office in London, but this role is suitable for home and flexible working, with the majority of your work carried out from home if you would prefer. However, you will need to be available to travel to London for staff and team days, as well as to support project delivery and partnerships. This could be around a day a week on average, although at times it will be a lot less, and unfortunately, our client is unable to cover travel costs for this. There will also be some national travel, for which all travel costs will be covered.

You will have experience of planning and supporting project delivery or events, and excellent knowledge of good safeguarding practice. You will also need good communication skills, organisational skills, adaptability and a problem‑solving mindset. Experience of training, engaging and supporting volunteers would be an advantage.

Reading and writing change everything. They give you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. They’re the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They’re better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go.

Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.

• They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges.
• They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children.
• They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision‑makers.
• They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their skills.

Their team are passionate about their mission and they have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect. They offer a range of flexible working options and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to the organisation’s success, whoever you are.

As well as a competitive salary, our client offers benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

Our client’s people are their most important asset, and they value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). They particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which they work. They would like to increase representation of these groups among their staff as they know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact for their work.
