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.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills – confident in relaying financial information to non-finance colleagues
• Natural relationship builder – keen to work with a variety of people around the organisation
• Good attention to detail and high level of accuracy – producing reports that can be relied upon for decision making.
• Flexible team player – happy to support other team members when needed
• Inquisitive and pro-active – keen to understand the drivers behind the numbers and investigate variances
