This is an unpaid, voluntary role. It is not a salaried position and it is not a director appointment.
About us
Creative Futures South West CIC is a community interest company connecting 16 to 19 year old creative learners in further education with creative employers, cultural organisations and progression routes across the South West. We work with 15 college groups covering 20 colleges and more than 20 arts and cultural partners. Our feasibility phase was funded by Arts Council England and we are now moving into delivery.
We are small, run by two unpaid directors, and at the point where the finances need someone who knows what they are doing. We are also recruiting an independent Chair, so you would be joining a governance structure that is being built properly rather than improvised.
The role
- Operate the company bank account within limits set by the board
- Keep the bookkeeping records up to date and reconcile monthly
- Track restricted, designated and unrestricted funds separately, so grant money is always accounted for against its conditions
- Send the board a short monthly finance pack
- Process supplier and freelancer invoices once properly approved
- Support the directors on the annual accounts and the CIC34 community interest report
- Help build simple, proportionate financial processes as we grow
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You would be an officer of the company, not a director. No Companies House filings, no statutory directors' duties, no entry on the public register.
What we are looking for
- A finance background: qualified accountant, bookkeeper, finance manager, or equivalent practical experience
- Confidence with online banking and cloud accounting software
- Experience of grant funded or restricted funds is a real advantage
- Reliability and consistency. A small amount of time every month matters more than a burst of effort once a year

Terms
- Unpaid, with out of pocket expenses reimbursed against receipts. Around 2 to 3 hours a month, with a little more in the month a grant lands. Bristol based or remote. Initial term of twelve months. Governed by a volunteer agreement rather than a contract of employment.
- Subject to two references and confirmation that you are not disqualified from acting as a company director and are not subject to any insolvency restriction.
How to apply
Send a short note about yourself and your finance background with a CV or LinkedIn profile. Closing date 13 September 2026. We reply to everyone. Shortlisted candidates have a 40 minute video conversation with both directors.
