Where does a colleague turn when a finance system won't do what they need? Here at Alzheimer's Society, the answer is you.
About the opportunity
As Finance Systems Administrator, you'll be the first point of contact for our finance systems. When a colleague has a query, a problem or a request, you'll be the one who helps. You'll sit in our Finance Systems and Data team, part of the Finance and Assurance directorate, and report to the Finance Systems Analyst.
Finance and Assurance has a clear vision. We want to be the Society's single point of truth. We are trusted partners and credible experts, and we work as one team. Our finance systems sit at the heart of that. When they run well, the whole Society runs better. Your job is to keep them running well for everyone who uses them.
This is a role built on great service. You'll resolve tickets, set up account codes, manage access and run scheduled tasks. You'll write clear guides so people can help themselves. And you'll spot the things that could work better, then help put them right. Every fix and every answer helps free up time and money for the people we are here to support.
About you
You're an organised, helpful person who likes solving problems and putting people at ease. You enjoy the detail, and you take pride in getting things right. You may be early in your finance career, perhaps working towards AAT, and you're keen to learn and grow.
You'll have:
- Knowledge of core finance work, ideally in a large organisation. Working towards (or a desire to) AAT or a similar award would be advantageous.
- Some experience of providing support on a finance or other business system (we use Unit4).
- A track record of great service, with a focus on a better experience for users.
- Sharp attention to detail and respect for clear, checkable steps.
- A track record of keeping accurate, well-ordered records and clear documentation.
- The proven ability to track and report on your own progress and impact.
- Experience of building strong working relationships across teams.
- A self-starting style. You manage your own time well, and you ask for help when you need it.
What you'll focus on
- Being the first port of call for Unit4 and linked system queries, with effective service every time.
- Resolving tickets. This includes account codes, approval substitutes and system access.
- Working with users to log issues clearly and passing complex ones to senior colleagues.
- Writing clear and easy to understand guides and training notes and pointing people to the help they need.
- Running month-end, year-end and other planned system tasks.
- Helping fix system errors, such as posting and integration faults.
- Backing good use of the system and gently challenging off-system workarounds.
- Keeping our systems, data and workload well-ordered and well run.
- Building trust across Finance, Assurance and the wider Society.

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.
Our hiring process
During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.
To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.
We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.
We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.
Giving back to you
Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
