Description

Barnardo's
Moving On
Moving On provides supported accommodation to young people aged 16-24 across a number of sites in Lancashire. The service aims to provide young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for independent living.

The young people who live in our accommodation are from a range of backgrounds and are often either in the process of Leaving Care or have experienced homelessness.

3 of the services are staffed 24 hours per day (Preston and Lancaster), 3 are shared houses (Preston and Lancaster) in the community with visiting support, and we also run a Supported Lodgings Scheme (Lancaster, Wyre, Fylde and Preston).

Young people can live within our accommodation for up to 2 years so that they can move on successfully to their own accommodation in a planned and coordinated way.

Specific Responsibilities:

The post will be to take on the role of all financial aspects of the service and monitoring income and expenditure on an ongoing basis alongside the manager so a good understanding of finances is essential.

Working across all sites to support staff to deliver a quality service
Supporting the management team with budget monitoring and collating invoices and expenditure on a weekly and monthly basis
Maintaining a petty cash account
Monitoring rental income from a variety of sources for 50+ accounts across multiple sites
Working closely with Regional Finance Team to request generation of invoices
Ensuring all service income is correctly allocated
Updating and providing rent account information and statements for all young people
Preparation and presentation of financial information in a monthly basis
Working with management team to ensure income is maximised (including Housing Benefit)

Supporting with information provision for quarterly and annual reports
Buying and keeping track of supplies for the services

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values.

We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which should be in place by 1st April 2023.

This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to grow and develop in their career at Barnardo's.
