Job DescriptionAre you a qualified and experienced accountant, possibly retired or working part-time who is seeking a truly rewarding role with a growing £1/4 million charity that provides specialist music services to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people? If so, we would love to meet you!
What will you be doing?
You will manage our financial affairs, supervise our contracted bookkeeper and volunteer administrator, lead the finance and financial risk committee, liaise with our independent examiner and make decisions regarding investment and risk management.
You will contribute to the Board’s growth plans helping Music of Life support many more children in special needs schools around the UK. And you will provide the financial information to help us create successful funding applications.
What are we looking for?
You will be a qualified accountant with experience most likely gained in small or medium sized organisations.

What difference will you make?
You will ensure that at all times our financial position is sound and transparent and that our plans are financially viable. You will be a key member of our team working very closely with our actively engaged Board of Trustees.
