We are seeking an Assistant Finance Business Manager to support our portfolio of Children’s Services within Employment, Training and Skills, as well as other UK-wide operations. The successful candidate will work closely with Finance Business Managers and the Assistant Director of Finance across all aspects of financial management.
The Barnardo’s Finance Business Partnering Team provides leaders and managers with high-quality financial analysis and reporting, supporting informed decision-making. The team plays a proactive role in monitoring financial risks and opportunities, delivering budgeting, forecasting, period-end reporting, financial modelling, and guidance to strengthen financial capability across the organisation.
Required Experience
- At least 2 years’ experience in a finance business partnering environment, supporting budget holders.
- Strong systems skills, preferably including Dynamics 365.
- Experience producing budgets, forecasts, and monthly management accounts, including variance analysis.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills, including working with managers.
Pay & Reward Framework
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 was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo’s and, in time, will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo’s pay framework can be found upon application.
