Full-Time Finance and Operations Assistant
Job Description
Job title: Finance and Operations Assistant
Location: Birmingham or Manchester (hybrid working with the option of 40% of your time spent in the office and 60% working from home)
Salary: £22,500 – £26,000
Hours: 37.5 hours
Contract: 12 month fixed term
Start date: Between 2nd and 14th January 2024
Purpose of the role: The overall purpose of this role is to create a safe, welcoming and confidential office environment for Breaking Barriers staff, volunteers and clients within our Manchester and Birmingham offices. With an eye for detail, this team member will be entrusted with vital administrative and operational tasks and to provide day to day support for the charity’s core functions, including Finance and IT. Juggling routine workstreams with ad hoc tasks, this role will help with the distribution of grants, onboarding new staff, organising client expense claim payment runs, manage data input into our CRM and help to troubleshoot issues that arise in day-to-day work.
The postholder should be excited about the work Breaking Barriers does and willing to support their colleagues in helping the charity to achieve its mission. They will demonstrate flexibility, a can-do attitude, sound judgement, reliability, and discretion. This role is a great opportunity for someone with a hands-on mindset and an interest in pursuing a career in finance who is always looking to get stuck in and execute operational tasks in an efficient and effective way.
The Finance and Operations Assistant will help power everything that we do – this is a great opportunity to learn first-hand how a start-up charity operates and play a key role in our future success.
