Job description
South Bank Students Union is a non-for-profit organisation, which champions social mobility through education and has a vision to disrupt the cycle of inequality in higher education.
We are looking for a Finance Manager to join our new team as we embark on a five-year strategy to transform the way we engage and support students to help them reach their full potential.
South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. In fact, many don't identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners and Londoners.
At South Bank Students' Union we believe that a student's background and life circumstances should not put them at an educational disadvantage, and all students deserve a high-quality University experience and the chance to graduate equipped with the tools to succeed in life. This role would suit someone who shares this vision.
We are looking for an experienced finance professional to line manage the finance team, and provide excellent financial management for the Union's newly incorporated company. You will be part of the senior management team, supporting them in making effective financial decsions and ensuring good governance to further the transformation of the organisation and persue our mission. You will be responsible for producing budgets, improving and implementing policies and processes; providing timely and accurate management information, processing payroll, ensuring statutory compliance; supporting the annual audit process and supervising daily bookkeeping and banking.
This role would suit someone who either holds an accounting qualification; is working towards one; or who is comparably qualified through experience. This is a part-time role, and it is expected you will work either 3 or 4 days per week.
Students' Unions are fast-paced, creative environments, and we pride ourselves on providing employment and development opportunities for students and graduates who are taking the first steps on their career path. Therefore we are looking for someone who enjoys these kinds working environments and is able to adapt their approach and woking styles if necessary to help others thrive. You will also be able to explain complex financial information and principles to non-finance staff so they can understand and develop their finacial literacy.
