Job Description

We are looking for an enthusiastic Finance Manager, who will be responsible for all aspects of financial management and HR administration. You will be well organised, able to work on you own initiative and be experieced in writing clear and engaging reports tailored to a non-financial audience.

The main responsibilities of the role are:

  • Provide strategic financial leadership, including long range planning, budgeting and forecasts.
  • Support Board and Committees (Investment, Finance and Grants), preparing and presenting papers and managing grant-giving process.
  • Lead the annual audit.
  • Undertake day-to-day book-keeping.
  • Oversee HR operations including payroll and pension administration.
  • Ensure compliance with employment law and maintain HR policies.
  • Review and manage insurance policies.

You will be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CIMA, CPFA) with at least three years experience, ideally with charity experience. You will also have experience of HR policies and management.

We are a small organisation, so a supportive 'hands-on' approval is essential, as are diplomacy and confidentiality.

CLC is a membership organisation for Lutheran Churches in the UK, and our office is close to Waterloo station. We undertake a range of activities including student chaplaincy, grant giving and outreach and we have recently acquired a church building for services and events. CLC is a Christian organisation, so whilst we would prefer you to be a Christian, it is not essential as long as you are willing to work in accordance with our ethos and values.
