About our Organisation
The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
This is a new role in the Group Finance team, which supports the Soil Association Charity and its subsidiaries, a mix of charitable and commercial entities. You would provide dedicated finance support to the Soil Association Land Trust charity as well as business partnering with budget holders in the main Charity and central Group teams. This breadth of remit means the work will be varied and will provide exposure to both charity and commercial accounting as well as the opportunity to work closely with decision makers in the Group.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and versatile qualified accountant with the following key skills:
Strong written and verbal communication skills – confident in relaying financial information to non-finance colleagues

Good attention to detail and high level of accuracy – producing reports that can be relied upon for decision making.
Flexible team player – happy to support other team members when needed
Inquisitive and pro-active – keen to understand the drivers behind the numbers and investigate variances
