VOCAL – Voice of Carers Across Lothian is a carer-led organisation providing a wide range of services to support unpaid carers across Edinburgh and Midlothian.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and capable finance professional to join our team and play a key role in the smooth day-to-day running of VOCAL’s financial operations. This is a busy, varied and hands-on role, managing a variety of transactions across multiple systems with accuracy and attention to detail.

You will take ownership of key financial processes, including managing VOCAL’s finance and grants inboxes, processing invoices, expenses and payments in Xero, and reconciling income from a range of sources such as social enterprise activity and donations. You will also play an important role in supporting carers directly through the accurate and timely processing of carer grants.

Other duties include: overseeing supplier payments; bank and credit card reconciliations; and ensuring all transactions are recorded accurately and in line with financial controls. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation, investigating and resolving queries, and support the Finance Manager with a range of other tasks as required.

The successful candidate will have relevant qualifications and demonstrable accounts payable experience in a similar role, with the ability to manage a varied workload with confidence. You will bring a strong understanding of core accounting principles alongside hands-on experience of using financial systems—particularly Xero—and Microsoft Office.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, enabling you to build positive working relationships and respond effectively to queries. You will be equally comfortable working independently and as part of a supportive team, contributing to a collaborative and values-driven environment.

We welcome applications from under-represented minority groups.
