About the Role
Thames21 is an environmental charity working across London and the Thames Basin to deliver high-impact, nature-based solutions addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis by restoring rivers and connecting communities to their local green-blue spaces. We are seeking a Reporting and Finance Officer to support The Roding Rises project, a three-year initiative funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund aimed at revitalising the River Roding.

The successful candidate will work closely with Thames21’s Head of Finance and The Roding Rises Project Manager to ensure smooth day-to-day financial operations for the project. This includes budget management, bookkeeping, timely processing of funding claims and invoices, and assisting with reporting to funders.

This is a fixed-term contract for 3.25 years starting January 2026, offering flexible working arrangements and the opportunity to contribute to meaningful environmental restoration and community engagement.

About you
Detail-oriented and organised with the ability to manage multiple financial tasks efficiently. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with project teams and finance colleagues. Commitment to Thames21’s values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and willingness to actively support these principles.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications in finance, accounting, or related fields are advantageous but not mandatory. A positive attitude and willingness to learn and adapt within a dynamic charity environment are essential.
