Temporary Finance and Administration Officer

Robertson Bell are supporting an organisation that requires an experienced Temporary Finance and Administration Officer to provide urgent cover across finance, operations and internal administration. This is a hands-on interim role, ideal for someone who is organised, adaptable and comfortable working across multiple workstreams in a lean environment.

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will play a key role in maintaining day-to-day financial administration, coordinating meetings and events, and supporting contract and grant-related activity during a busy period.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Processing invoices, supporting supplier payments and preparing sales invoices.
• Reviewing consultant timesheets and invoices prior to approval.
• Coordinating meetings, workshops and associated logistics, including travel and catering.
• Providing administrative support to governance meetings, including minute-taking.
• Supporting grant and consultancy administration, including reporting reviews and tracking activity.
• Delivering general office and operational support, including HR, IT and diary coordination.

The successful candidate will:

• Have 2–3 years’ experience in a finance and administrative role.
• Be confident supporting financial and contractual processes.
• Bring strong organisational skills and a high level of attention to detail.
• Be an effective communicator, able to manage competing priorities independently.
• Be immediately available or able to start at short notice.

Experience within the not-for-profit sector or supporting international activity would be beneficial but is not essential.

This is an urgent interim requirement offering fully remote working and varied responsibility from day one.
