We aim to deliver a holistic, person centred support service to vulnerable and disadvantaged women with complex health and social needs. We do this by ensuring they can access support, education and information to raise self-esteem and confidence, empowering them to make positive life choices resulting in improved health and wellbeing.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will support the efficient day-to-day operation of the charity's finance function, ensuring accurate financial records, processing transactions, and providing valuable financial and monitoring information to support the organisation's work. You will also contribute to the charity's sustainability by helping identify funding opportunities and supporting grant and bid applications.

Key Responsibilities

You will have strong financial administration experience, excellent IT skills including Microsoft Excel, and experience using financial accounting software.
You will be analytical, detail-oriented, and able to manage a varied workload with accuracy and efficiency. Strong communication skills are essential, alongside the ability to work independently, use initiative, and build positive working relationships with colleagues across the organisation. Above all, you will be professional, approachable, and committed to working in an inclusive and non-judgemental way that reflects the values of Women's Work.

Why Join Us?
