About Sunny Cycles
Sunny Cycles is a community-focused cycling organisation which enables people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to enjoy the mental and physical benefits of cycling and cycling activities. Founded in 2022, we support mental health, social inclusion, and accessibility by providing led rides, cycling lessons, adaptive cycling for disabled people, and creating welcoming spaces for refugees and New Scots. We operate a community hub at Glasgow Green, and Victoria Park offering free or low-cost cycling sessions for individuals facing financial hardship, social isolation, or discrimination. We provide adapted bikes for those who cannot ride standard 2 wheelers and work with individuals and groups within the community to enable people to experience the mental and physical benefits of cycling.
Sunny Cycles operates as a registered charity and a social enterprise. As we grow, we are looking for a Development & Enterprise Officer who can strengthen our income generation pathways and support the long-term sustainability of our work, including our expanding work with disability and care-home cycling programmes.
Role Purpose
The Development & Enterprise Officer will lead on developing and delivering income-generating opportunities that support Sunny Cycles’ mission. This includes building partnerships, developing commercial activities, strengthening our social enterprise offer, managing budgets and ensuring financial sustainability so we can move away from grant funding.
The role is ideal for someone who is proactive, entrepreneurial, and passionate about inclusive cycling and community wellbeing.
We have an exciting opportunity for a skilled, self-motivated finance professional to join our long-standing charity and take the lead on our finance function. This role is ideal for a highly capable individual with strong accounting or finance expertise who thrives in a nurturing team environment and is eager to make a meaningful impact and contribution to a community focused organisation.
As Finance Manager you will oversee all aspects of financial operations, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our financial data and reporting. Your responsibilities will include managing day-to-day finance activities, preparing fully accrued monthly management accounts for the board, and producing a trial balance with supporting evidence for the annual audit. You will also collaborate with external auditors to meet reporting requirements.
Additionally, you will collate payroll to issue to our external payroll provider, oversee pension contributions, and contribute to HR systems and records. You will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Trustees to ensure effective credit control and financial administration.
As a community based, people focused organisation we prioritise wellbeing and professional development of our team. Staff are given a ‘winter wellbeing’ day to use as they wish over the autumn/winter months, in addition to a generous annual leave allocation of 28 days plus 12 days public holidays (pro rata’d) which increases with service.
