Work with us

We are seeking a proactive, motivated Finance Officer to join our team at the London Museum of Water & Steam. We are looking for someone with business acumen and a laser focus as you’ll be a key figure in the collective effort to deliver our bold vision for the future. We are a Museum with ambition.  Our collection and our cause are based around clean water and the innovation and engineering involved in supplying it to everyone, equitably, across a growing city.  But this is a global story, not just a local one – water connects every single person in the world and the technology and energy needed to make it available is still a big challenge.  Our story has never been more relevant and so the impact our Museum can have is significant in the fight for our planet.  Your financial skills are critical in this mission.  We can’t deliver on these ambitions without strong management and understanding of our finances.  If you’d like to join a close-knit and fun team looking to make a difference, you’ll need a finance related qualification and at least two years’ experience working in the sector.  Key deliverables are the monthly and annual reconciliations and management accounts, monthly payroll for all staff and day to day accounting using Xero software.  Working with the Director we’ll find new ways of working that meet our needs and grow the financial savvy of the organisation.  If this sounds like the challenge for you, we would really like to hear from you.

This is a part-time post: 19 hours (2.5 days) a week. We are flexible and can negotiate how the hours are allocated but it is based on site for at least 2 days per week, and may include some irregular weekend work by exception.

Salary £29,000 pro rata (£14,500 actual salary)

To apply, please submit a CV and a Covering letter succinctly outlining why you are applying for the role and how your experience and skills meet requirements (please see the full Candidate pack in the link below) to Hannah Harte, Museum Director, at [email protected]. Please ensure that your covering letter fully addresses the appointment criteria in the person specification.

We are an equal opportunities employer and if you have any accessibility needs please get in touch so we can make adjustments to the recruitment process.

Interviews will take place in the week beginning 10^th February 2025, preferably on site at the Museum, TW8 0EN
