The Spinal Injuries Association is committed to a singular vision: a fulfilled life for everyone affected by spinal cord injury.

About the Role
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will take the lead on day-to-day finance administration and processing across SIA and its subsidiaries, from purchase invoices and bank reconciliations to payroll preparation and credit control. You will also help drive improvements to our finance systems and processes, and act as a first point of contact for finance queries from colleagues across the organisation.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced finance professional who enjoys ownership of a varied workload, likes solving problems, and wants their work to have a direct, visible impact on a charity's mission.
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.
