Reporting to the Finance Director, this is a senior, hands-on role combining management accounting, complex grant and project finance, business partnering and financial analysis.

A key part of the brief is finding someone who is naturally curious and questioning. They want someone who will interrogate the numbers, investigate anomalies, understand what is driving performance and come forward with solutions rather than simply reporting what has happened.

Key responsibilities

• Take senior oversight of a portfolio of complex, high-value grants and funded projects, ensuring robust financial management throughout the funding lifecycle.
• Work closely with project leads and senior stakeholders, providing financial advice, challenge and insight.
• Lead on management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, variance and trend analysis.
• Ensure restricted and grant-funded income and expenditure is accurately accounted for, allocated and reported.
• Produce and review financial reports and returns for major institutional and public funding bodies, ensuring compliance with individual funding requirements.
• Monitor project cash flow, income recovery, billing schedules and financial risks.
• Investigate variances and anomalies, getting underneath the numbers to understand the underlying issues.
• Identify financial risks and opportunities and develop practical solutions with stakeholders.
• Support improvements to financial processes, controls, systems and management information.
• Provide guidance and support to other members of the finance team and help strengthen financial understanding across the organisation.

What we are looking for

• Qualified accountant – ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.
• Strong charity, research, education or similarly grant-funded/not-for-profit experience.
• Ideally experience within a £20m+ organisation with a reasonably complex funding structure.
• Significant experience managing restricted grants and project-based funding.
• Understanding of the requirements associated with major institutional, government or research funding streams, including cost allocation, compliance and funder reporting.
• Strong management accounting, budgeting and forecasting experience.
• Excellent Excel, analytical and financial modelling skills.
• Confident business partner who can work effectively with senior stakeholders and non-finance project leads.
• Curious, analytical and willing to challenge – someone who questions their findings rather than taking information at face value.
• Solutions-focused and proactive, with the confidence to identify an issue, investigate it and recommend a way forward.
• Able to operate autonomously and quickly get up to speed within a complex organisation.

Rate: £300–£400 per day

The New Economics Foundation is this year celebrating forty years of changing the rules of the economy so that it works better for people and planet, and we are determined to make the next forty count even more. Our team of talented researchers, innovators, organisers and communicators are focused on three goals: a fast and fair transition to a green economy, economic security for all, and shifting power to communities. To do that, we want to reform the fiscal framework, bring down the cost of life’s essentials, and bring more assets into community and public ownership.

This is a hugely exciting time to join our organisation, as we focus on sharpening our impact.

This role is a chance not only to be part of that change, but to help design and lead it.

We are looking for a talented and respected advocacy and communications professional, with an impressive track record in influencing public policy, a strong and trusted network of policy and political relationships, and a strategic understanding of the opportunities and risks in front of us.

Over the past decade, Escapeline has become a recognised leader in the prevention of child criminal and sexual exploitation across the South West. Through awareness raising, education, direct intervention, family support, professional training and strong partnership working, we have empowered thousands of children, young people, families and professionals to better understand, identify and respond to the risks of exploitation.

Our work has never been more important. As the nature of exploitation continues to evolve, so too must our response. We are therefore seeking an exceptional Chief Executive who can provide visionary leadership, inspire confidence among stakeholders, strengthen strategic partnerships and ensure Escapeline continues to be at the forefront of protecting vulnerable children and young people.

Building on our strong foundations, we see significant opportunities to expand our reach and deepen our impact, particularly across Dorset and Wiltshire, where support for the charity remains strong and continues to grow. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the next chapter of our development, broadening our influence, diversifying income streams, enhancing our services and securing long-term sustainability.

While preventing the exploitation of children will always remain our core purpose, we are equally committed to supporting the wider impact that exploitation has on families. Our specialist helpline and parent support community provide a vital source of guidance, understanding and hope for families who often feel isolated and overlooked by traditional support services. We are determined to strengthen and expand this provision, ensuring that no family faces these challenges alone.

We are looking for a leader who combines strategic vision with emotional intelligence, commercial awareness with compassion, and ambition with an unwavering commitment to our values. You will lead a dedicated team, work alongside an engaged and supportive Board of Trustees, and build on a reputation that has been earned through years of trusted and impactful work.

Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to make a lasting difference to the lives of children, young people and families at a time when that difference is urgently needed.

If you are inspired by our mission and share our ambition to create safer futures for children and young people, we would be delighted to hear from you.
