Overview

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and the ability to capture, transport and store or utilise carbon dioxide will be crucial to ensure a sustainable, competitive and equitable transition to a climate neutral Europe.

The CCSA is the trade association accelerating the commercial deployment Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (or CCUS) through advocacy and collaboration.  Our ambition is to see CCUS developed and deployed at the pace and scale necessary to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and deliver sustainable growth across regions and nations. We represent a wide variety of organisations with an interest in the development and deployment of CCUS across many applications to decarbonise heavy industries, power, and hydrogen production, and remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.

The CCSA operates as a not-for-profit company, overseen by a board of elected members. We have 20 staff across our London & Brussels office. We turnover around £3m. Our income comes from membership fees from our 125 members and sponsorship at our conferences.

The CCSA has grown by 100% over the past few years, as we have grown in profile and impact supporting the developing industry across Europe. For maximum impact we have focused on delivery, however, we are now looking at enhancing some of our internal systems including our finances. We have a UK registered company and a Belgium registered company, external accounts and bank accounts for each but with no dedicated internal finance resource. We do have some support from an outsourced finance manager via our landlord, we anticipate this would continue, at least initially. In terms of accounting packages, we use Xero in the UK and Yuki in the Belgium office.

The role
We are a dynamic organisation looking for our first part-time finance manager. We have put some structures and processes in place using a finance consultant, but we are looking for somebody that will enjoy improving finance processes and helping make things easier for our teams in both offices. The role will be a stand-alone finance role without any admin support, so we are looking for a self-starter who works independently and is both strategic and operational and won’t mind invoicing/chasing debt.

The role will be managed by the Head of Membership, but will work closely with the CEO and other members of the senior leadership team.

Responsibilities

• Develop and enhance the CCSA’s finance processes and systems, especially using tech solutions
• When required liaise with the external auditors, ensuring that timescales are communicated and agreed, and the auditors’ requirements are met to ensure timely completion of their work

Finance operations

• Preparation and sending of sales invoices (c200 a year) and chasing aged debt
• Oversight of bill payments and expenses
• Process and post month-end journals
• Running the monthly UK and maybe BE payroll including liaising with payroll providers
• Ensuring payroll taxes, VAT and other taxes are filed and settled on time.
• Act as a point of contact with accountants, banks, service providers, and suppliers
• Provide finance support to the wider staff team
• Other ad hoc finance/operations duties as required

About you

The CCSA is very fast paced and has a ‘start up’ feel, so we are looking for somebody that is:

• Pragmatic and hands-on
• Able to work quickly and flexibly
• Strategic and eager to drive improvements and efficiencies
• Trustworthy with high integrity
• Is able to communicate about financials issues especially to lay staff
• A self-starter who works proactively and independently
• Organised and able to plan work
• Eligible to work in the UK

In terms of experience we are looking somebody that is:

• A qualified accountant CA/ACA/ACCA/CIMA
• Has strong management accounting and bookkeeping experience
• Experienced in working in a similar role, ideally within a small company environment
• Ideally experienced with Xero or and other systems
• IT literate with strong Excel skills
• Ideally has experience of working across countries and awareness of consolidating across different currencies.
• Maybe interested in sustainability, CCUS, working for a not-for-profit or membership body

Location/hours

This is a part-time role of 2.5 days a week (18.75 hours) and we are flexible as to how these are spread over the week. We operate a flexible, hybrid policy in both offices and for this role the successful candidate could spend 1 day a week in our comfortable London office near beautiful St James Park, SE1, or a remote role based in the UK, with quarterly trips to the London office. There may also be the occasional requirement to travel to our Brussels office a couple of times a year, to deal with any in-person finance compliance/banking issues. We are keen to accommodate the right candidate and open to discussion.

SWEDA is growing fast. Since the pandemic, the number of children, young people and adults who need our support has grown exponentially. An estimated 1.25m people in the UK have an eating disorder, and an NHS mental health questionnaire in 2023 found that 59.4% of 17-19 year olds ‘screened positive’ for having eating problems.

We have responded by expanding geographically (into Bristol and South Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire), developing our children and young people’s services and investing in the development of a fundraising team. Our Head of Fundraising has been in post for just over a year and our Fundraising & Communications Officer joined in January 2024. Now we need a Fundraising Manager to help us develop and grow our community fundraising to diversify our income and secure SWEDA’s future. We are a small and friendly team and will make you feel very welcome.

Your role will be to help us devise and deliver community and individual fundraising campaigns, secure and cultivate corporate partnerships and forge relationships with schools and other community partners. You will also recruit and manage a team of volunteers to fundraise and raise awareness. You will be someone who loves meeting people and is ambitious and driven to achieve results. You will have lots of enthusiasm, energy and ideas. You will be comfortable trying new things and in being adaptable; we want to scale our public fundraising activity and are applying a ‘test and learn’ approach. The primary objective will be to raise funds to support our life transforming work, but also to raise awareness and understanding of eating disorders, and help establish SWEDA as the eating disorder specialist across the South & West. 

We are looking for a candidate who has the necessary skills and experience to fulfil the following role:

MAIN DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan, lead and deliver on income generation plans for individuals (including regular giving and appeals), community and corporate fundraising to grow SWEDA’s income year on year.
• Forge and cultivate relationships with supporters – individuals and businesses – in person, on the phone and through SWEDA’s communications channels.
• Maintain a clear focus on acquisition across community, corporate and individuals, with dedicated time for proactive prospect research.
• Monitor, evaluate and report against agreed performance indicators
• Work collaboratively with the Head of Fundraising and other team members to maximise income generation opportunities
• Develop a network of volunteers to support cost effective and successful public fundraising activity.
• Drive innovation to improve fundraising practice, increase ROI and test new approaches to raise money.
• Use data insight to drive decision making and improve performance.
• Plan and implement an effective stewardship plan which prioritises personalised long term relationships.
• Effectively use the CRM to record and manage your work, capture donor information/consents and support strategic planning.
• This is a new role, so your main duties and responsibilities may change. You can help to shape it!

ABOUT THE JO COX FOUNDATION’S WORK IN WEST YORKSHIRE

We want less lonely, better connected communities across the UK, where everyone feels that they belong. Jo Cox’s career took her around the world, yet her sense of belonging and her identity were always firmly rooted in Yorkshire. She knew that developing social connections with people like us, and with those who are different, helps to build individual and collective wellbeing, trust, resilience and cohesion.

The Jo Cox Foundation has its roots in West Yorkshire and our work here brings people together, increasing people’s social support networks and feelings of belonging. This enables us to improve lives locally, while also building our knowledge, credibility and evidence to share with communities and platforms across the UK.

“I am Batley and Spen born and bred, and I could not be prouder of that. I am proud that I was made in Yorkshire and I am proud of the things we make in Yorkshire. Britain should be proud of that, too.”

Jo Cox, Maiden Speech 2015

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Yorkshire Programme Manager has responsibility for the development and delivery of our community programmes in West Yorkshire, with a particular focus on Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike.

At present, this is focussed on leading our Bridging & Belonging project, which aims to co-produce a vision for the future of Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. We expect that the insight that we produce from this project will determine the direction of our community programmes in West Yorkshire over the coming years.

Working with the project’s Community Group, you’ll support them to deliver a series of community events that capture the issues, needs and skills of the community and identify the action that the community wants to see.

As the project draws to a conclusion, you’ll play a key role in planning our future work in West Yorkshire, in conjunction with the Head of Community Programmes, and will provide information and support for grant applications for this future work.

ABOUT THE BRIDGING & BELONGING PROJECT

We know from our work in West Yorkshire that community members want to connect with each other, influence change, and use their ideas and skills to benefit the community. Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, this project aims to facilitate this through a series of community events and activities in Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. These events will explore the themes of community, place and belonging, and will help us create a shared vision for the future of the area.

This project has already been established, so you’ll start with an in-depth project plan in place and a small but engaged Community Group made up of people from across Batley, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and surrounding areas. With them we have started planning for the first three community events. You’ll also get support in running this project from a Project Officer and our Head of Community Programmes.

Through your leadership of this project over the next 12 months, we will:

• Grow the Community Group to around 15 people

• Support the group to plan and deliver a series of community events across Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. These events will be for anyone with a connection to the area to connect, listen, and share stories on the themes of community, place and belonging.

• Support the group by organising and facilitating regular meetings, identifying any skills needs they have, and sourcing / providing training where relevant.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone who is motivated and positive about making change happen in the area. You need to be happy to work as part of a remote team, but also have the confidence and ability to work independently and on your own initiative. 

You’ll have a deep understanding of, and experience of engaging with, communities in West Yorkshire, particularly Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. You’ll have excellent interpersonal skills, and experience of facilitating group meetings and workshops in creative and engaging ways. This project has already started, so you’ll also need an ability to digest information and build relationships quickly.

You’ll have strong project management skills, and ideally experience planning and delivering events. Experience working with Steering Groups and reporting to funders will also be helpful.

Lastly, you will have strongly held personal values which align with The Jo Cox Foundation’s vision and Jo’s ‘more in common’ ethos. These will be reflected in your respect for others and the desire to make a truly positive contribution through your work.
