Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland (RCTN) is looking for a Finance & Office Administrator to join our friendly and supportive team during a period of maternity leave.

• Is confident handling financial administration and maintaining accurate records.
• Has excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Is comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning new systems.
• Can communicate sensitively and professionally with people accessing our services.
• Works well independently while also being a supportive team member.

Previous experience of Xero or similar finance software would be an advantage but training will be provided.

What we offer

• Flexible working pattern between 22 and 28 hours per week.
• A supportive, values-led team.
• Comprehensive induction and ongoing training.
• Opportunities to develop new skills.
• The chance to contribute to an organisation making a real difference to survivors across Tyneside and Northumberland.

This role is based primarily at our Newcastle city centre office and requires regular office attendance.

If you're looking for a varied administration role where your work has real purpose, we'd love to hear from you.
