Job Description

A bit About us
RSPCA Assured is celebrating 30 years of improving the lives of farmed animals.
In that time, we're proud to have worked with thousands of farmers - and all of the UK's biggest supermarkets - to help make the lives of millions of animals better.
Every year, we inspect almost 4,000 farms and other scheme members to ensure they meet strict RSPCA animal welfare standards - ensuring a better life for farm animals.
So when you see an RSPCA Assured label on meat, fish, eggs or milk products, it means the animal was cared for according to the RSPCA's standards from birth to slaughter.
Our vision is a world where all farmed animals are respected and treated with kindness and compassion - and that's what we work towards every day.
We are looking for a new team member as a Finance Analyst.

• Working hours: 17.5 hours which will be worked over 5 days.
• Hybrid role: Depending on your location, your base may be at Horsham, West Sussex or our London Hub. Applicants based outside of the South East will be given flexibility in terms of office visits.
• Hybrid working isn't a tick exercise for us - we live the values, expectation for this role will be 1-2 days per month in the office and this is open to flex around you and the operation.

Our teams stay connected through regular check-ins and meetings - and colleagues are always on hand to chat. It's important to us that you feel part of our supportive team from the beginning.
Are you ready to join us and make a positive difference for farm animals?

Final note from us & good luck with your application!
Due to high interest in some of our roles, we review applications as they are received. This can occasionally result in positions closing earlier than advertised. Therefore, we strongly recommend submitting applications early. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications after the posted closing date.
We want to ensure we do all we can to give you a positive candidate experience through our recruitment. Whilst we do try to give feedback where we can, sometimes due to receiving high levels of applications, this may not always be possible
We are building the future of a diverse Society, and our priority is to support animal welfare by finding people from all backgrounds who are committed to our mission. For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications - in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities - as these candidates are currently under-represented at the RSPCA. Your transferable skills & lived experiences could make you a valuable addition to our RSPCA Family!
Should you need any support with your application or interview process please contact / 0300 123 0685.
Our mission is to ensure animals have a good life by rescuing and caring for those in need, by advocating on behalf of all animals and by inspiring everyone to treat them with compassion and respect
