Family Support is an independent organisation providing services to the local authority, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Our independence allows us to be agile in the way we deliver our service and requires that our staff are agile and flexible. We are currently looking for a Finance Business Support Officer, to provide a first-class service to our colleagues and our families.

The successful candidate will be an AAT qualified or CCAB part qualified finance professional. The role will form an integral part of a team of support officers, ensuring the organisation has financial integrity.

You will be responsible to a member of the senior management team and be responsible for the smooth running of all financial matters across the organisation, with the support of an outsourced finance firm.

You will be expected to act as a mentor for junior colleagues, demonstrating best practice and behaviours. You may be required to work out of different Hammersmith and Fulham sites and have day to day flexibility as things change. Although your main role will not be customer focussed, this role does require an individual who is able to cope under pressure; put aside their main daily output to assist vulnerable members of the community from all walks of life, providing a welcoming front of house as required.  

Together we have an ambitious plan to deliver more responsive and impactful early intervention that works in partnership with other organisations, the community and families. We want to see life chances enhanced and over ten years the cost (both human and financial) of failure reduced. We need proactive staff who are up for a challenge, willing to take responsibility and who share and want to be a part of our vision.

If you have the experience, drive and appropriate essential requirements (part qualified or AAT qualified finance, business support and administration) please do apply.
