Finance Managers £29,198 gross per annum Payment pro-rata upon deployment. No retainers paid. Emergency Roster
Do you want to make a difference to older people in emergencies?
Older people are largely neglected in humanitarian crises and disasters. They constitute a significant and growing number of affected populations: about 12.5% of the world’s population is aged 60 or over and the numbers are rising steeply with demographic change. Responding to the needs of older people in emergencies is a critical and pressing humanitarian agenda.
HelpAge International is the only global organisation that focuses on the needs and capacities of older people in emergencies. It maintains an emergency roster of individuals with specific skill sets, who can be called upon at short notice to be deployed overseas on short-term contracts to support our emergency response efforts. The speed and length of deployment will depend on a number of variables, including the urgency of deployment, the location of the emergency and the availability of longer term staff. Deployments are remunerated in line with HelpAge’s usual international salary scale and benefits package, and in between deployments, HelpAge would stay in regular contact with you, keeping you updated on our ongoing emergency work.
This is an exciting opportunity for Finance Managers to join our roster. The key responsibilities of a Finance Manager are likely to include the designing, implementing and monitoring of financial accounting and, administration systems. You will ensure our financial controls are compliant with HelpAge International and donor requirements. You will be responsible for compiling and producing financial reports and ensuring thorough and effective budgetary control is undertaken in the programme.
For this roster role you must be an experienced qualified accountant with a proven track record of providing support, guidance and training to financial and non-financial managers. You will have substantial experience in managing finance in a humanitarian setting, producing and interpreting management accounts, reviewing and developing financial procedures.. In-depth knowledge and experience of working with international donors is also essential. French language skills are an advantage but not essential.
