The Citizens Advice network in Scotland is the largest independent advice service in the country. Citizens Advice Scotland is a charity within this network – we act as a national organisation supporting and representing the service as a whole and the interests of citizens. At the heart of the network there are 59 individual citizens advice bureau organisations across Scotland, all operating as independent charities in their own right, and generally focusing on providing support directly to clients. Each of these organisations is a member of Citizens Advice Scotland. Also providing significant added value are the national elements of the service run out of Citizens Advice Scotland, such as the Extra Help Unit. We believe that every citizen should have access to free, impartial and confidential advice that helps them make informed decisions, whenever they need it and however they choose to access it.

The Finance Admin role covers processing purchase orders and invoices, raising sales invoices, processing journals. It also covers monthly debtors and creditors reconciliations as well as ongoing chasing of any debt arising, and dealing with Supplier queries. The role also involves admin support for the Risk Audit and Finance Committee which meets every couple of months, and will be involved in the data processing within the Risk Management package. This is a busy role in a small and friendly Finance team.

This role offers you the opportunity to work at the heart of supporting Scotland’s largest independent advice network and to make an invaluable contribution to citizen’s lives.
