Business and Finance Officer

Blaydon Youth & Community Centre

Closing date:
Sunday 26 July 2026

Do you love bringing order to busy environments? Are you highly organised, confident with finance/admin systems, and motivated by work that makes a real difference?

This is much more than a standard administration role.

At Blaydon Youth & Community Centre, we support children, young people, families, volunteers, community groups and local residents through a wide range of community services, childcare, activities and partnership work.

We’re now looking for a proactive, detail-focused and people-centred Business Support & Finance Officer to join our friendly team and play a key role at the heart of the organisation.

You’ll support across finance, administration, bookings, governance, HR, compliance and day-to-day operations — helping us keep our systems strong, our processes efficient, and our services running smoothly for the community we serve.

• Business support or office administration
• Finance admin, invoices, records or accounting software
• Coordinating busy systems and processes
• Supporting small teams, charities, schools, community organisations or local businesses
• Improving ways of working and helping things run more smoothly

• A varied role where no two days are the same
• A supportive, welcoming and ambitious team
• The chance to develop skills across finance, governance, HR, compliance and charity operations
• Flexible working across a 30-hour week
• Training and professional development opportunities
• A role where your accuracy, initiative and ideas will be genuinely valued
• The opportunity to make a visible difference in the local community

We’re looking for someone who is organised, approachable, reliable and confident working with people, systems and details. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of a values-led organisation with a genuine community purpose.

If that sounds like you — or someone you know — we’d love to hear from you.
