Who are we?

Across all of Northern Ireland, we offer direct support for people living with and affected by Motor Neurone Disease ('MND'), every day.

This is a very exciting time to join us, as we are looking for a Group Finance Officer to join our Committee and help us to plan and shape how we have an impact for and with our communities through our funds.

What does a Finance Officer do?

This is a key volunteer role within a local Group, who links closely with both MNDAssociation staff and volunteers alike as One Strong Team to drive impact through local leadership and supporting with financial planning and collaborative decision-making.

This role is recruited through Safer Recruitment processes, which means the process includes a short interview and two references.

Successful applicants will complete a structured induction pathway, involving e-learning modules.

Volunteers receive ongoing local support from their allocated Community Support Coordinator ('CSC') and relevant team members with a link to finance processes.
