Due to expanding projects and workloads, an opportunity has arisen for a finance worker within our Transforming Churches and Communities team. 
You will be responsible for supporting the bookkeeping functions for our clients, additionally liaising on invoicing, recharges, expenses, assessment calculations and billings, payments, and reporting. You will also need to maintain good financial control and governance, in line with relevant policies. Attention to detail, and responsiveness to client queries are essential. You will be the primary point of contact for the client. Our clients are frequently volunteers, and so demystifying financial processes and explaining them clearly is a vital skill. 
As an organisation, we work predominantly with the Methodist Church of Great Britain, although not exclusively. Personal adherence to the Christian faith is not required, although you will be required to be respectful of the faith of others.
There is an opportunity to develop within this role, as we are currently going through an exciting period of growth as an organisation. 
We are a small and friendly team, with big ambitions to enable and support those communities who need us. Our goal as an organisation is to support charities and churches as they seek to serve their communities and develop, giving them a solid foundation of evidence-based development, and strong governance and management practices.
You will work 3 days per week (21 hours). The annual salary will be £27,613 FTE, which will equate to approximately £16,567 pro rata. Working arrangements are one day a week in our office in Hulme (although more may be needed during training) and two days flexible home working.
