Looking for a finance role where your skills can make a genuine difference?
At Cornerstone, the work we do is all about helping the people we support live their best lives, and our Finance team plays an important part in making that possible.
We’re looking for an experienced Finance Business Partner to join us on a part-time job-share basis, working 23 hours per week from Wednesday to Friday. This is a hybrid role, with Wednesday as your office-based day, working from one of our offices in Glasgow, Dundee or Aberdeen, with the remaining hours worked from home.
As part of the job-share arrangement, you’ll work closely with another Finance Business Partner to ensure continuity, share knowledge and provide a consistent service across the organisation. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the flexibility of part-time working while still having the autonomy and responsibility to make a real impact.
You’ll work closely with managers and colleagues across Cornerstone, providing financial insight, guidance and constructive challenge to help us make informed decisions and use our resources effectively. You’ll have the opportunity to bring your financial expertise to a role where the decisions you influence ultimately help us deliver high-quality services and better outcomes for the people we support.
Could this be the role for you?
If you enjoy looking beyond the numbers, building strong relationships and helping others make confident financial decisions, we'd love to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
