Are you looking for a role where you can really make a difference? Changeworks, Scotland’s leading environmental charity, is recruiting a Finance Manager to play a key role in helping us tackle the climate emergency.

Reporting to the Head of Finance, the Finance Manager will be responsible for the effective running of our finance function. You’ll provide accurate and timely financial information to assist executive, senior management and budget holders with effective decision making. You’ll line manage the Finance Officer and Finance Assistant and ensure that finance functions for the organisation run effectively and efficiently.

Your role will also include the development, improvement and implementation of operational financial procedures including the finance and expense system. You will assist the Head of Finance in ensuring the charity continues to comply with VAT regulations and will work with HR on payroll and pension administration.

Applicants for this role should have full or substantial progress towards full membership of a professional accountancy body or significant experience as a Finance Manager.

This role requires strong communication skills as you will be a key contact explaining financial information to non-finance professionals across Changeworks. You’ll be confident to work autonomously and take the initiative, as well as working as part of a team.

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.

We seek a proactive and dedicated Development & Communications Officer to join our team on maternity cover. In this role, you’ll drive our fundraising efforts, lead the submission of grant applications, work on external relationship building, and oversee our external communications.

Approximately 80% of the role is fundraising-based. The remaining 20% of the role will be focused on communications.

Introduction to 2050 Climate Group

Since we formed in 2014, we have been working to empower, equip, and enable Scotland's young leaders, aged 18-35, to lead action on tackling the climate crisis.

We are volunteer-driven and the majority of our work is delivered by a committed group of volunteers with key support from our trustees. You’ll have the chance to take real ownership and responsibility in our fundraising efforts.

Background

Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust is a registered charity committed to the revitalisation of the Old Town through stimulating growth in community participation, the arts and enterprise. It supports a vibrant community in the Old Town that is inclusive to all. The organisation operates the Crannie Community Hub; this is a venue for local residents and organisations to come together, create and share activities, events and connections as well as campaigns to improve the area for residents. The Crannie runs a health and wellbeing program, including a walking group, music circle, creative writing, cooking and craft groups.

With the help of new funding, we aim to enhance our services by offering weekend access, personalized energy advice, and expanding our warm space to a full 7-day schedule. We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Energy Officer to lead this exciting project.

Purpose of the role

EOTDT is seeking an experienced person to be responsible for managing the delivery of critical energy support services to our community members and supporting the Facilities and Operations Manager team in running the Crannie Community Hub.

This includes hosting weekly group advice sessions, offering personalized energy guidance, and providing drop-in support to help individuals reduce their energy costs and improve their efficiency. The Energy Officer will also help ensure our space remains a welcoming and accessible resource for individuals seeking warmth, meals, and community support.

The activity programme will be based at The Crannie Community Hub but will involve working on an outreach basis across the Old Town area as appropriate. This role will include essential weekend working.
