An amazing organisation, looking to support children in care to reach their full potential, is looking for a part time bookkeeper / Office Manager to support the head office function.

The role will start at 20 hours per week, increasing to 25 after a couple of months, due to increase care support to be provided by the organisation. The role will encompass providing accounting support, but also taking some meeting notes, ordering office equipment, and some minimal diary management.

Over time this role can develop and take on more responsibilities, or it can stay at 25 hours and focus on the accounting functions.

After a few months, this will be an office based role but initially it will be mostly remote due to an office move.

There is flexibility on how the 20 / 25 hours are made up, but must include Monday and Friday morning attendance, due to internal meetings that are held those days.
