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

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

accountancy body or significant experience as a Finance Manager.

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.
