Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work for an organisation that makes a difference? A rare opportunity has arisen to join a small and vibrant finance team working with the Oxford Diocese. We are looking to recruit a new manager to take the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance (ODBF) forward with developing systems and reporting and being involved with all sorts of interesting and varied departments.
Closing date for receipt of applications: Sunday 3 August 2025 at midnight
Interviews will take place on: Wednesday 13 August 2025, at Church House Oxford, Langford Locks, Kidlington, Oxford. OX5 1GF.
About The Role
In this role, you will support the Director of Finance in providing a proactive, efficient, and highly effective finance service across the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance and Trust custodian company, as well as supporting the larger finance team who look after our Board of Education.
The role will include taking ownership of the budget and forecast for ODBF, running the month-end and reporting process and interacting with Heads of Department and key Diocese clergy in helping to run their day-to-day operations. The role will also take the lead in managing the tax and statutory reporting, and appropriate training assistance will be made available as required.
You will play a key role within a Finance department totalling 9 staff. The team have been through a time of change, including the introduction of a system 3 years ago that still requires some input to ensure it is being maximised in usefulness.
About You
We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Accountant to join the friendly team in our Finance function. You will embrace the challenge that such a varied role brings.
With proven experience in producing timely, high-quality and accurate financial information, your ‘can-do’ approach to work will inspire you to deliver excellent, meaningful financial reports that will have high impact for stakeholders. You will be flexible in your working style, have strong numerical proficiency, confident communication skills, and excellent organisational and monitoring abilities. In return, there will be many opportunities for you to enhance your skill set, gain new experiences, and develop your career pathway within this important function.
You do not need to be a practising Christian or have a faith to work with us - around 50% of our staff are not practising Christians but are comfortable with the Christian ethos that underpins our work. However, all our staff do have a desire to make a difference.
