Current Vacancies Finance Manager Part-time, 22.5 hrs preferably worked over 4 days £28,500 (£47,500 FTE) This is an exciting opportunity for a finance professional with particular interest in historic buildings to help ensure we have solid financial foundations to build the future direction of England’s earliest open air museum of buildings. This is a key leadership position within the charity, reporting directly to the Museum Director and taking responsibility for managing the day-to-day finance officer. Your accounting qualifications and experience will ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, and effective budgeting and forecasting. You will work closely with the small team, providing support and insight for all budget holders and ensuring the charity has up to date and accurate financial information to assist with forward planning and cost management.

We are open to discussing a flexible working pattern with the right candidate. We are not just a Museum of Buildings – we tell stories of Midlands life. If you can provide the fundamental financial foundations for us to keep doing that into the future, we want to hear from you!
