Alpa Trivedi – Deputy Head of Finance

“There are a lot of things I enjoy about working for the Charity Commission. When it comes to the role itself, I really like having the opportunity to discuss things with budget holders and to liaise with the non-finance staff. There’s a very open culture here and people do interact a lot.

I’ve also been impressed by the commitment I see all around me. The Commission doesn’t just regulate the sector, it helps and supports charities too. People here really go the extra mile when it comes to guidance and advice. And as an organisation you feel that it takes pride in the work that communities and charities are undertaking.

It’s fair to say that this is the best place I’ve worked in terms of career development too. I’ve had the chance to do CPD training and other internal sessions: in fact, these things are actively encouraged. There’s a really good work/life balance on offer too.”
