About Shelter

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.

We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team

Our Finance Department works as a team of experts to safeguard resources and support decision making across Shelter. We strive to ensure Shelter is financially sustainable in order to achieve our vision of a home for everyone. This role sits within the Financial Planning and Analysis team. We support the charity through financial reporting, analysis, and expert advice, and enable collaboration to support managers and leadership in making effective business decisions.

About the Role

The Assistant Finance Analyst sits within the Financial Planning and Analysis team. This role may be offered as an apprenticeship, subject to eligibility. We support the charity by providing vital financial reporting, analysis, and expert advice. In doing so, we enable the budget holders to better understand business performance and help deliver Shelter’s organisational strategy. Your challenge will be to make sure that budget holders receive accurate, reliable, and timely information that will help shape their decision making.

We’ll also rely on you to build relationships with our budget holders, acting as a first point of contact on straightforward queries. What’s more, you’ll be supporting in training sessions for budget holders around our organisation, allowing them to engage effectively with the FP&A cycle and help them to understand their responsibility.

You’ll review our monthly figures, with a focus on areas of responsibility to identify trends and variances and you’ll flag key issues to your colleagues in the team, and reach out to budget holders on these issues.

Working with other teams in our Strategy Enablement directorate, you’ll ensure we have robust processes in place for incorporating data and day-to-day you’ll use Unit 4, FP&A Software, to maintain accurate management reporting. Your role will also support the overall team in our month-end processing, taking responsibility for preparing and posting month end journals including prepayments, accruals and payroll.

All the while you’ll be part of a team that strives for best practice and collaborates to deliver Shelter’s mission and vision.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

Strong with building relationships, you’ll be able to work effectively with non-finance stakeholders to vary your communication style in order to suit the audience you’re addressing. You’ll either be part-qualified (CCAB, CIMA or overseas equivalent), or you’ll have experience working in finance and be intending to study for an accounting qualification.

Excellent analytical skills along with impeccable attention to detail, a high level of numeracy and great time management skills are all ‘must haves’ to hit the ground running in this role.

You also have intermediate Excel skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office applications like Outlook and Word. Experience of using accounting software (Unit 4 ERP and Unit 4 FP&A) is desirable but not essential.

Please click ‘Apply for Job’ below. You are required to submit a CV and responses to all 4 points of the 'About You' section of the job description of no more than 350 words each. Please provide specific examples following the STAR format and ensure you demonstrate how you address the behaviour below throughout your responses:

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension, and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme, and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support, and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
