If you're motivated by not-for-profit work and looking for a part-time role that offers balance without stepping away from responsibility, this could be a strong fit.
This role sits within a values-led organisation delivering essential services across the region. With a period of change underway, the organisation is looking for an experienced finance professional who can step in confidently and take ownership of payroll from day one, while also supporting core finance activity to ensure continuity.
Finance here plays a practical, people-focused role. Accurate payroll isn't just about compliance; it directly supports staff wellbeing and the delivery of frontline services.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll be responsible for managing the monthly payroll, including full-time, part-time and sessional workers. You'll work closely with HR to ensure hours, sickness and changes are processed accurately and on time.
Alongside payroll, you'll support the wider transactional finance function. This includes purchase ledger processing, supplier payments, expenses, reconciliations and journal entries such as accruals and prepayments. You'll also help document existing processes and flag any immediate risks or opportunities to improve efficiency.
This is a hands-on role within a small finance team and will suit someone comfortable stepping in and delivering with minimal supervision.
About You
You'll already have proven experience processing payroll end-to-end. Accuracy, attention to detail and reliability are essential in this role.
You'll also have experience supporting core finance processes, including purchase ledger activity and journal entries. You're organised, methodical and comfortable working in a small team where priorities can shift.
Good Excel skills and clear communication are important. Experience using Sage 50 and Sage Payroll is advantageous, and exposure to process improvement or the not-for-profit sector would be welcomed, though not essential.
What's on Offer
This is a 3-month, part-time contract, working 24 hours per week, ideally spread across four days to support continuity. The role is fully office-based and offers the opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven organisation doing meaningful work.
