Launchpad exists to help clients turn their lives around and fulfil their potential. We are a registered charity for the homeless that supports Reading's most vulnerable and disadvantaged people. We are now seeking a Finance Officer to work on a full-time or substantial part-time basis.


ABOUT LAUNCHPAD


Based in central Reading, Launchpad provides vital information and support for vulnerable individuals, couples and families in Reading who do not have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their home.

Founded as a soup kitchen in 1979 by students at the University of Reading, the charity now provides a holistic service that works in three ways - we prevent homelessness, provide homes and rebuild lives.


THIS ROLE
We are now seeking a Finance Officer to work on a full-time or substantial part-time basis. This exciting opportunity will involve supporting the Finance Manager and Head of Finance in the financial management of Launchpad.


The role will include:

  • Working with colleagues in other teams/departments to ensure accurate recording of various income streams (eg rental and fundraising income) and reconciliation between Sage Accounts and departmental databases.
  • Performing balance sheet reconciliations, processing of prepayments and accruals on a monthly basis to ensure accurate financial recording and reporting.
  • Supporting and empowering Launchpad departments and staff to provide effective financial information and controls.

We are looking for someone with:

  • Good levels of Literacy and Numeracy;
  • Intermediate use of Microsoft Excel including best practice use of spreadsheets;
  • Experience of using accounting software to ensure effective oversight and management of General, Sales and Purchase Ledger.
In return we offer development and progression within the role, including support to obtain further financial qualifications, if relevant.

We are a friendly and supportive team within a values led organisation with a focus on best practice and continuous improvement.

Benefits include 7% employer pension contribution and 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.

We look forward to hearing from you
