Job description: Locations Remote and London Office
Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.
Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.
We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Finance Business Partner to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering expert, professional, and quality finance business partnering services across Citizens Advice. This role will involve working closely with various stakeholders on finance, transformation, change projects, planning, and budgetary matters to support the organisation’s strategic objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver expert finance business partnering services across Citizens Advice, including financial advice, analysis, and support on transformational initiatives.
- Provide management to transformation and change projects, ensuring responsiveness and flexibility to meet business needs and support organisational priorities.
- Develop plans for changes in financial systems and processes aimed at improving the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of financial and budgetary management information.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to identify opportunities for process improvement and implement solutions that enhance financial management capabilities.
- Work closely with finance and operational teams to ensure alignment between financial strategies and organisational objectives.
- Analyze financial data and trends to provide insights and recommendations for decision-making.
- Develop and maintain effective relationships with key stakeholders across the organisation, including senior management, to drive financial performance and accountability.
To apply for this position, please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining the essential criteria in the job pack and your relevant experience and motivation for joining Citizens Advice.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service.
Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue – a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector – people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. If you are disabled and meet our minimum criteria you will be guaranteed an interview for this role and we will provide reasonable adjustments as needed. We follow the social model of disability.
We’re a flexible employer, so this role may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance, many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely. Whilst we prefer a blended approach between a local office, if one is near you, and home we’re open to being flexible on location, occasionally a role may require you to be based in a certain location if that’s the case it will be detailed in the advert or job description. This can be discussed in more detail during your interview.
The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.
Our commitment to colleague wellbeing is reflected in us being awarded Gold in the Health & Wellbeing category, as well as Overall Winners, at the Employee Experience Awards 2022.
