- Strong technical knowledge and the ability to interpret and apply financial legislation
- A proactive mindset, with a focus on continuous improvement and service excellence
- Outstanding communication skills and the ability to engage with a wide range of stakeholders
- Leadership qualities that inspire and motivate teams to deliver results
This is a busy and rewarding role, and may occasionally require flexibility beyond core hours to meet key deadlines.

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
