I’m recruiting for a Credit Controller to join a well-known charity in Edinburgh. This is a key role within a small finance team & would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, building strong internal relationships, & keeping a close eye on the detail.
This is not a narrow, high-volume credit control post where you are simply chasing debt. It’s a broader role with real responsibility across the full sales ledger cycle, from invoicing & account set-up through to reporting, query resolution & supporting cash flow. It’s a good fit for someone who wants to be trusted, involved, & part of a team where their input genuinely matters.
The organisation has recently been through a period of positive change, with a new middle management team, improved procedures, & a clear five-year plan. It’s an organisation that’s moving forward, but still holds onto the warmth, openness & sense of purpose you would hope to find in the charity sector.
Why work here?
*Salary of £28,000–£30,000
*Full-time, permanent role working 35 hours per week
*Opportunity to take real ownership of the full sales ledger function
*Join a friendly, welcoming organisation with a strong sense of purpose

*Recently restructured business with a motivated management team & clearer processes
*Chance to support a charity where cash flow & financial accuracy have a real impact
*Positive team culture with regular staff activities & a social, inclusive environment
*Central Edinburgh location
