The post-holder will be responsible for ensuring that the financial systems in place provide accurate and easily accessible information to the CEO, Board, and other staff.

**About the Trust**

Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust is a local nature conservation charity. Our office is based in the beautiful Verulamium Park on the edge of St Albans city. We believe that wildlife should have space to thrive alongside our everyday lives and that everyone benefits from having access to nature.

Our staff team is enthusiastic, friendly and committed to making a difference. We are supported by over 1000 volunteers and we have a group of volunteers who regularly support our Finance Team. We have a board of 12 Trustees drawn from a variety of backgrounds, from business to local government and the charitable sector. The Head of Finance works very closely with our Honorary Treasurer.

We now have 23,000 members who support us financially and who are the collective voice helping us to stand up for wildlife.

We have around 50 members of staff, a mix of full time and part time roles, and staff structure is given in Section 8. Some roles including the Finance Team and Business Support Team are primarily based in the office. Our Nature Recovery Team and Development Team colleagues spend more time away from the office, managing our nature reserves, advising on land management and delivering community engagement.

We encourage all the members of the team to get involved in Trust-wide activities, such as our public events and the AGM, and visiting nature reserves. We regularly get together as the full staff team to hear about new projects, recent wildlife discoveries and community groups we are working with. This helps to motivate and inspire staff to see the difference being made across the Team together.
