Finance Assistant – Credit Control

About our Organisation

The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of
human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues
in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.

About the Opportunity

invoices and performing month end tasks. The role-holder may be required to perform other tasks
to support the team on an ad hoc basis so flexibility, enthusiasm and a can-do attitude are a
