Role

About Volunteer Edinburgh

This is an opportunity to join a team who genuinely care about volunteering and understand the power of being of service to others.  

Volunteer Edinburgh makes an outstanding contribution to the life of people in the city and has developed into one of the city's most dynamic and adaptive third sector organisations.

Our strong people-focused culture has supported continual innovation over the years — from launching an AI tool for volunteer managers to establishing city-wide hubs and community engagement tools. 

Role, skills and experience

Our new Finance Manager will be a creative, analytical and solution-focused individual who enjoys working with numbers and data. You will work closely with the management team and the board of trustees to enable the organisation to deliver its strategic objectives. You will have the ability to present financial information in a way that is understandable and meaningful, especially to non-financial people. 

You will be familiar with charity accounting principles and have experience in improving systems and processes.

We would ideally like the new Finance Manager to start the role around 4th August to facilitate a four-week handover with the current postholder.

Working for us

Volunteer Edinburgh is committed to creating a positive, supportive culture where employees and volunteers can thrive. Working for Volunteer Edinburgh will offer you: a generous leave entitlement of 29 days plus eight public holidays, pro rata for part-time employees; 7% employer pension contribution; opportunities to learn within the organisation and outside it; an established support and supervision framework and an employer-supported volunteering policy that provides paid time off to volunteer. In addition, salaries are contractually linked to local government pay.  

Location

The main place of work is Volunteer Edinburgh’s office at 222 Leith Walk, EH6 5EQ.
