Who are we?

We are Scotland’s design museum. Designed for everyone, firing imaginations and sparking curiosity in design across Scotland and around the world. At V&A Dundee we are on a mission to inspire and empower through design.

Design shapes our world, it's part of everyday life and it's everywhere. We are a museum with energy and have a vision of the future where everyone is inspired through design and recognizes its far-reaching impact in our lives.

We are a welcoming place for people of Dundee to explore design and to use as an everyday part of their city, as well as inviting visitors from around the world. We are part of the V&A family of museums that celebrate creativity in all its forms from across centuries, for everyone.

Role Profile

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Management Accountant to join our small team at V&A Dundee - Scotland’s design museum. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting the financial management of a mission-driven charitable organisation. Working alongside passionate colleagues you will join us in our mission to inspire and empower through design, contributing to informed decision-making and the long-term sustainability of our exhibitions and public programmes.

The Management Accountant plays a key role in ensuring the financial sustainability and effective stewardship of the charity’s resources. Working closely with budget holders, senior leadership, and programme teams, the postholder will provide timely, accurate management information to support decision-making across exhibition, fundraising, and learning activities. The role reports to the Head of Finance, with supervision duties over the finance assistants’ team.

The successful candidate will be responsible for assisting the Head of Finance in budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and reporting, with a particular focus on grant-funded projects, restricted income, and compliance with funder requirements.

Scottish Book Trust is Scotland’s national reading charity. We believe that reading and writing for pleasure can transform lives – supporting mental health, breaking the poverty cycle, improving employability and inspiring creativity. Every year, our programmes reach over three million people across Scotland, from babies receiving their first Bookbug bag to adults discovering the joy of storytelling.

You'll find us in schools, libraries and community spaces across Scotland – in towns, cities and in isolated rural communities. We bring books to life for children in care, families experiencing hardship, people in prison and anyone who may not otherwise have access to the joy of reading. In short, we go wherever we’re needed most.

We are looking for up to three new Trustees to join our Board and help guide this work. Trustees play a vital role in shaping our strategy, ensuring good governance, and championing our mission to make books and stories accessible to everyone.

We want a Board that better reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We particularly encourage applications from people who are currently underrepresented on our Board, including people from minority ethnic communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and people with lived experience of poverty or marginalisation. We also welcome younger voices and first-time Trustees, and we provide training, mentoring and ongoing support.

We’re interested in your values, your ideas and your lived experience, as well as any professional skills you may bring.

Experience in any of the following areas would be helpful (but not essential), and you do not need to meet all of these:

• Strategic thinking and leadership
• Advocacy or influencing decision-makers
• Education, culture or community engagement
• Finance, audit or risk management
• Fundraising or financial planning
• Working with the Scottish Government or local authorities

About the role

As our Finance Business Partner, you’ll be the go to expert for turning financial data into meaningful action. You’ll work closely with operational teams, senior leaders, and project managers to ensure our resources are used wisely and our impact continues to grow.

The postholder will report to the Senior Finance Manager who will provide strategic oversight and support as required for this challenging role within a dynamic charity.

This role requires proven and demonstrable experience in management accounting, in order to support budget holders to plan, deliver and evaluate their work.

About you

You will be reliable, practical and methodical, have advanced IT skills – particularly in Microsoft Excel, and will demonstrate excellent communication skills – both verbal and written.

The ideal candidate will be a part-qualified accountant, highly organised and able to prioritise a varied workload to manage and meet competing deadlines, delivering accurate and well-presented work in a timely manner.

You will be motivated by our cause and have the ability to demonstrate Cyrenians values of compassion, respect, integrity and innovation in the work that you do.

How we’ll support you

You’ll be part of an experienced, knowledgeable team, with a supportive manager. You will also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning programme, and staff wellbeing services.

About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians we take a public health approach to homelessness prevention. We know homelessness impacts on the health of the nation, on the outcomes of our young people, on the life expectancies of people living in dangerous, lonely and precarious circumstances. A public health approach strives to stop people becoming homeless by addressing risk factors and offering support at the earliest opportunity rather than waiting until a crisis happens.

That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based. Read about our values here.
