Finance & Admin Officer
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re Silverstone Museum, located at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit, and right now we have a fantastic new part-time opportunity for a Finance & Admin Officer who is a results-driven individual with a keen eye for detail, supporting the finance team to make better-informed decisions.
As Finance & Admin Officer at Silverstone Museum, you'll play a key role in ensuring the financial operations of the business run like clockwork. This is a hands-on, varied position that goes beyond routine financial processing—you’ll be trusted with a wide range of responsibilities that support a number of key stakeholders and the Museum’s financial health.
From managing end-to-end purchase and sales ledgers, bank reconciliations, VAT returns and cash control, to handling Gift Aid submissions and developing efficient financial systems, your work will have real impact.
You'll provide administrative support, ensure compliance with statutory requirements and help drive improvements across our financial processes and controls.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, is detail-focused and eager to grow their finance career in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
ABOUT US
Opening our doors for the first time in autumn 2019, we bring the fascinating story of Silverstone and its association with British motor sport to life through a dynamic, interactive and compelling visitor experience, all housed in a restored WWII aircraft hangar. Whether it’s immersing our visitors in our journey from a Benedictine Monastery to WWII airbase and finally the home of British motor sport, to getting up close and personal to some of the world’s best racing cars and motorcycles, plus walking part of the former F1 circuit, we offer a diverse and multi-experiential day out.
Set up as a charitable Community Benefit Society, our mission goes way beyond simply running an awe-inspiring visitor attraction. We have a strong commitment to preservation, conservation, education and inspiring the next generation in the world of science, technology and engineering.
ABOUT YOU
You’re an organised, detail-focused professional with experience working in a financial environment. You’re confident managing your own workload, meeting deadlines and keeping things running smoothly—even when under pressure.
You bring a solid understanding of finance systems, controls and accounting principles, and you’re comfortable developing and improving procedures. Communication comes naturally to you—both written and verbal—and you enjoy being part of a collaborative team.
You’re also someone who values equality and diversity in the workplace.
As for where you’ve worked before, experience in the heritage and museum sector is useful, or within visitor attractions. You will ideally have experience with Xero.
THE BENEFITS
As well as the opportunity to get in the driving seat of an evolving and exciting business, a not-for-profit organisation delivering a positive impact to the local community and cherishing the history and heritage of the Silverstone story, we offer a competitive salary, a range of employee discounts and of course the opportunity to join a vibrant organisation at the home of British motor racing.
