Group Finance Officer

Join a Community-Focused Organisation

Govan Housing Association is a community-based housing association with a proud history of serving the people of Govan. Founded in 1971 as Scotland's first community-based housing association, we now own and manage around 1,600 homes and remain firmly rooted in the community we serve.

The Association is the parent organisation of the Govan Housing Group, which includes two subsidiaries - the HOME Team and Water Row Company. Together, the Group delivers a diverse range of services, including housing management, property factoring, mid-market rent, multi-trade services and money advice.

While this post is employed by Govan Housing Association, the Group Finance Officer will provide finance support across the wider Govan Housing Group, giving the successful candidate exposure to the different activities and services delivered by the Association and its subsidiaries.

Everything we do is driven by our vision of Moving Govan Forward.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced finance professional to join our Finance Team as Group Finance Officer.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll contribute to the delivery of an effective finance service across the Govan Group. Working closely with colleagues throughout the organisation, you'll support financial reporting, management accounting, reconciliations, payroll activities, budgeting processes and the preparation of statutory accounts, helping to ensure the continued financial strength of our organisation.

You'll also have the opportunity to support and develop members of the team, build strong working relationships across the business and contribute to the delivery of services that make a genuine difference to our community.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from candidates who have substantial experience working within a finance environment and a track record of producing accurate, high-quality financial information.

You'll be comfortable working with computerised accounting systems, preparing reconciliations, supporting the production of management and statutory accounts, and presenting financial information clearly and effectively.

You'll be organised, motivated and able to manage competing priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Strong communication skills are important, as is the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation.

Experience of supervising or supporting colleagues would be advantageous, as would experience of working within the housing sector. Familiarity with HomeMaster would be particularly welcome, although experience of another housing management or finance system would also be beneficial.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our commitment to delivering excellent services, continuous improvement and supporting the communities we serve.

Benefits Include

You'll receive full EVH terms and conditions of employment, together with a range of benefits including:

25 days annual leave plus 15 public holidays
SHAPS Defined Contribution Pension Scheme
Salary Sacrifice Scheme
Flexi-time
Cycle to Work Scheme
Westfield Health cash back plan
Ongoing training and development opportunities
