Zarach, the children’s bed charity, are on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty.
In nearly seven years as a registered charity, they've captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support Zarach's mission. They’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which they have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen Zarach deliver over 11,000 bed bundles to children to date!
With their wonderful Finance Officer heading off to pastures new, Zarach are now on the lookout for someone new to come and join them.
As their ideal candidate you’ll live in proximity to the Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. You’ll be someone who has good experience of the broad range of day-to-day financial admin and management activities that working in a small team brings and someone who enjoys the busyness and variety of this.
Alongside your finance-related skills and experience, they’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for Zarach's mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of the team.
Ideally, you’ll have experience of financial admin and management in the charity sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this, such as Gift Aid claims and restricted and unrestricted funds control. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.
To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of Zarach's mission, please have a look at the job description, website and the coverage across social media.
To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter, of no more than three sides of A4 (font size 12). In your covering letter please focus on why Zarach is the place for you and also on your most directly relevant experience.
Please send your CV and letter to helen.leblique@zarach.org by no later than 5pm on Sunday 23 February.
Zarach will be holding interviews on Friday 28 February 2025
