Charity Management Accountant - 6 month fixed term contract
Poole, Dorset
Merlin's Magic Wand (MMW) is a charity partnered with Merlin Entertainments that puts the magic back into the lives of children facing challenges of serious illness, disability and adversity. We believe that every child deserves to laugh, enjoy and cherish memorable experiences and it's our mission to enable them to access the magic of Merlin.
The Role...
We are looking for an analytical and affable Charity Management Accountant to join our amazing MMW team. This role is offered on a 6 month fixed term basis located at our Poole HQ. Salary for this role is up to £30,000 + attractive Merlin benefits.
Reporting into the Charities Finance Director, you will be responsible for the legal accounting and reporting, providing strong financial controls and processes to safeguard resources. You will support all financial related elements and help deliver strategic objectives.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work for our charity, making a real difference for many families.
About You...
We're growing fast and alongside a fun and friendly environment, we offer a fabulous package and amazing prospects - ideal if you're already fantastic and can quickly become even better (our magic can help here). Benefits include Pension, Life Assurance, discretionary company bonus, 25 days holiday and, of course, a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you and your friends and family free admission to all of our attractions worldwide, as well as 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% discount on LEGO.
Everyone Matters at Merlin
At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters!
Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.
Returning to work
As part of our approach, we welcome applications from people looking to return to work after a long career break.
We have an active Return to Work programme, which offers training, mentoring and more, to support with the transition back into working life. So, if you've been on a career break for any reason we can support you.
If you have any questions or if you require any reasonable adjustments due to disability or a medical condition, we'd love to hear from you at Recruitment@Merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
