Alongside leading the day-to-day finance function, you'll be someone who can bring numbers to life. You'll be comfortable translating complex financial information into meaningful insights, helping senior stakeholders understand the story behind the data and enabling better strategic decision-making.

This is an opportunity to work closely with the senior leadership team, influencing the organisation's direction while leading a talented finance team through a period of positive transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the finance function, ensuring excellent financial management and governance.
• Review and improve finance processes, controls and ways of working to create a more efficient and agile function.
• Deliver insightful management reporting and financial analysis that supports strategic decision-making.
• Partner with senior leaders to provide commercial and strategic financial advice.
• Develop meaningful financial narratives, presenting complex information in a clear and engaging way to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

• Oversee statutory reporting, audit, treasury, cash flow and financial controls.
• Champion continuous improvement, helping the organisation embrace new ideas, technology and more effective ways of working.
• Lead, coach and develop the finance team through a period of change.

About You

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant experience leading finance teams within a complex organisation.

You'll also bring:

• A track record of improving finance functions and delivering change.
• Strong strategic and commercial thinking.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to tell the story behind the numbers.
• The confidence to influence senior leaders and stakeholders.
• A collaborative leadership style and a passion for developing people.
• Experience balancing operational delivery with long-term strategic thinking.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact within a nationally recognised organisation with a powerful social purpose.
