Introduction
Launched in 1824, HMS Unicorn is the third oldest ship in the world still afloat and Scotland's only surviving wooden warship. Now an Accredited Museum in Dundee's City Quay, visitors can explore four decks that offer a unique glimpse into 19th century naval life.
Our mission is to deliver a world-class museum experience while safeguarding HMS Unicorn's future and making our collections accessible to all. We aim to inspire visitors and staff alike, providing lifelong learning and engagement opportunities for our local communities and beyond.
The Unicorn Preservation Society has recently secured nearly £1 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to advance Project Safe Haven - our ambitious conservation initiative to relocate HMS Unicorn to Dundee's East Graving Dock. This critical move will ensure the long-term preservation of this irreplaceable maritime treasure while creating a purpose-built visitor centre that will transform Dundee's historic waterfront and enhance community engagement.
This role is made possible through National Lottery Heritage Fund support and represents an exciting opportunity to join our team at a pivotal moment in HMS Unicorn's 200-year history.
Main Purpose of Role
The Chief Financial & Administration Officer holds overall responsibility for the financial management of the Unicorn Preservation Society and the shore-based office in Dundee City Centre. This includes comprehensive financial oversight, administrative leadership, and support for Project Safe Haven. The role will be central to implementing financial procedures to support the organisation's growth and strategic objectives.
As a key member of the senior management team, you will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Trustees, Fundraising & Communication and Project Safe Haven teams to ensure robust financial governance, strategic financial planning, and effective administrative support across the organisation.
