Finance Manager (0.6 FTE)

Put your financial expertise to work where it matters most with a flexible, family-friendly part-time role balancing numbers and nurturing futures at Life Education Trust.

At Life Education Trust NZ, our mission is simple and powerful: to help tamariki and rangatahi across Aotearoa grow confident, healthy, and resilient. Every year, our work reaches more than 225,000 primary-aged children and 55,000 secondary students — teaching health, life skills wellbeing, and critical thinking for the lives that they deserve. Behind this impact is strong financial stewardship. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Finance Manager who wants their work to mean something. Someone who sees numbers not just as data, but as the engine that powers social good. Someone who wants to go home each day knowing their mahi helped shape the future of young New Zealanders.

As our senior finance professional, you’ll lead the financial systems, insights, and stewardship that keep Life Education Trust NZ strong, sustainable, and future‑focused. You’ll be a trusted adviser to the Chief Executive and Board — ensuring the integrity of financial management, reporting, budgeting and forecasting and audit preparation, while also supporting regional Trusts with financial guidance and best practice. You'll work with a high degree of autonomy and minimal administrative support, so this role suits someone who's comfortable using sound judgement, and getting things done independently — while still being a hands-on part of a small team.
