About us

We are a small team (7 people in total) with an ambitious goal to secure affordable and long term workspace for artists and creatives. We will shortly be opening our third property.

CLT is based in London but we work remotely most of the time. You will need to be able to get to meetings in London 1-2 occasions per month.

We support flexible working (most of us work part-time) and it will be up to you how you arrange your three days per week.

About you

You will need to be experienced in technical charity finance matters – for example, partial exemption VAT, Gift Aid, reserves reporting, primary purpose trading – and be able to present charity numbers clearly to a range of audiences.

You’ll be confident in putting together and assessing cashflows and financial appraisals and communicating your conclusions.

You’ll have great IT skills, especially with Excel, so that you can minimise the time you spend on bookkeeping and administrative tasks.

You will probably have experience of being the sole finance person or the most senior person in a small charity or SME. You will be excited about the thought of a role that involves both detail and strategic oversight.

You probably won’t have experience of every single issue that will come your way in this role but you’ll have a proven ability to research issues that are new to you and use your networks to come up with practical solutions.

Ideally you will have an interest in the arts, property or both. You will share our values – reliable, supportive, expert, pragmatic and invested.

You need to have the right to work in the UK.

How to Apply:

Please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining your relevant experience and explaining your interest in this position.

Applications will be accepted until 17:00 on 28th October 2024. Interviews will be 6th or 7th November (remotely) and we would want the successful candidate to start as soon as possible after that

If you feel you meet some of the criteria but not all, then please do not be put off applying. We actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills and stories to join us and influence our working practice.

Closing date: 27th Oct
