Role Description

We are looking for an experienced, values driven Finance Manager to join our team in Twickenham. This is an exciting new opportunity to use your finance expertise to help us make a real difference to children and families.

Working closely with our CEO and Trustees, you’ll play a key role in keeping Purple Elephant financially strong, well-run and ready to grow. You’ll take ownership of our day-to-day financial management and use your expertise to help us make good decisions for the future, including:

• Management accounts and financial reporting
• Budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management

• Business partnering and providing clear, useful financial insight
• Developing and improving our systems and processes, including Xero

You’ll be someone who can bring structure and confidence to our finances, while working closely with colleagues and Trustees in a friendly, growing charity.

Charity experience and knowledge of Xero are desirable, but  we’re most interested in finding someone who shares our values and wants to use their financial expertise to make a difference.

If you live within reasonable reach of our charity, and are looking for a meaningful, senior part-time role, where your expertise can directly support the wellbeing of children and families, we’d love to hear from you. Please follow the link below for more information and to apply for the role.
