Bookkeeper - The Parks Foundation

Please Note: The application deadline for this job has now passed.

Job Introduction

We're looking for a freelance Bookkeeper to join our small, growing charity.

You'll use your experience of using cloud-based accounting systems (we use Xero) to do accounts & donation reconciliation, data entry & invoice inputting, and financial management report preparation. Another key element of the role is running payroll each month.

We are looking for someone with a bookkeeping or accounting qualification, experience using Xero (or similar accounting system) and advanced Excel skills. Ideally you'll have worked as an independent Bookkeeper, but that's not essential.

View the job description and person specification for more information.

Terms: 

  • Freelance vacancy
  • 10 - 15 hours a week
  • £14 - £20 an hour, depending on experience
  • Ideally starting ASAP
  • Must live within a commuting distance of Bournemouth, Dorset.

This is a great opportunity to join our growing charity, with lots of scope for the role to evolve overtime. You will also have guidance and mentoring from our Treasurer who is a retired qualified accountant.

Please send your CV and a covering letter / email stating why you are suitable for the role, your salary expectations and your location to cathi@parksfoundation.org.uk by midnight on Wednesday 15th November 2023. If you would like to discuss the vacancy before applying, please contact Cathi Farrer, CEO, on cathi@parksfoundation.org.uk 

  • Closing date: Midnight on Wednesday 8th November 2023
  • Provisional interview date: Friday 17th November 2023

At this stage we will not be responding to enquiries from accounting agencies regarding this vacancy as we are looking for an in-house role.

Due to the small size of our charity, we can only provide feedback to candidates who are shortlisted to interview.
