About Us
The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 944000 members over 38000 volunteers 3600 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations starting where they live and work.
Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
About You
We are looking for an Assistant Management Accountant with good communication skills and a high level of attention to detail to join us and add to our expanding team. The post holder will be responsible for the preparation and analysis of management accounting information including month-end journals and providing financial support to individuals across the organisation. You will also be responsible for project accounting and reports to funders.
The successful candidate will be a team player with excellent attention to detail and Excel skills. You will be able to adopt a consistent and systematic approach to run through the processes involved to achieve accurate results.
The role involves having regular meetings with colleagues to both explain and review financial figures so effective communication skills are essential and experience of building effective working relationships with budget holders would be highly beneficial.
You will be keen to take responsibility for compiling management accounts and reports for the charity and its trading subsidiary. You will be well organised with good time management and able to prioritise workloads to meet deadlines. Charity specific finance experience is desirable but not essential.
