Create Streets Foundation is a registered charity conducting award-winning research into the impact of urban form on human wellbeing. We educate and empower neighbourhood groups to put our findings into practice - from summer schools to community-led placemaking projects across the UK. We maintain a warm, collaborative culture focused on our shared mission: creating beautiful places that future generations will want to reuse and love.
Role Description
We’re a small team with a big mission. If you’re looking for a large finance department to hide in, this isn’t it. If you want to own the whole picture in an organisation doing genuinely important work, read on. We’re entering one of the most exciting phases in our history and we need the right person to help us scale. This is a genuinely varied role at the heart of everything we do - navigating complex fund accounting across restricted and unrestricted funds, supporting our first independent audit next year, ensuring robust governance and compliance, and providing the financial infrastructure that underpins our growing fundraising activity. The role is equally hands-on, including day-to-day bookkeeping in Xero, and suits someone who takes pride in getting both the strategic and the detail right.
Qualifications
- Solid knowledge of Charity SORP and hands-on experience of charity fund accounting and reporting
- Experience of governance and regulatory compliance in a charity context
- Genuine buy-in to Create Streets Foundation’s mission and values
- Formal accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- Experience scaling financial systems as an organisation grows
- Experience setting up a new organisation or managing finances across a group structure
- An interest in housing, planning, architecture or the built environment
