Finance Manager 

Hours: 32 hours over four days per week
Salary £30K – £35K per annum (pro rota)

We are looking for someone who wants to grow into a broader role and use their skills to make a real difference. This is an opportunity to take on responsibility, develop your leadership skills and be part of something meaningful.

At Ferne Animal Sanctuary, finance is not tucked away in the background. It supports our retail stores, services and long term sustainability. As Finance Manager, you will work closely with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team and be part of conversations that shape the future of the charity.

This is a varied and hands on role. You will oversee the finance function through to trial balance, produce management accounts, support budget setting and monitor cashflow. You will also manage VAT, Gift Aid and regulatory returns, and work with our auditors at year end.

You will not be doing this alone. You will work alongside a strong Assistant Finance Manager as a small team of two, sharing responsibility for the smooth running of finance. Together, you will support colleagues across the charity, helping them feel confident managing budgets and understanding performance.

We are open to different backgrounds. You might be part qualified and ready to step up, qualified by experience with solid technical knowledge, or looking for a role that offers more breadth and visibility than your current position.
