Our application process: We use a system called "Applied" that anonymises your responses and focuses on your actual skills that are relevant to this role. This benefits you by giving you a greater chance of expressing your skills in this objective selection process.

We anticipate most colleagues will work one or two days a week in the office on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and the rest of the time from home.  We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at UNICEF UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We welcome a conversation about your flexible working requirements, personal growth, and promoting a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights.

If you require support in completing the online form or an application form in an alternative format, please contact the Supporter Care line during office hours.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.

Ivy Rock Partners is delighted to be partnering exclusively with King’s College London to recruit a new Finance Business Partner. This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive, analytically minded finance professional to join an ambitious and collaborative team supporting Estates & Facilities — an integral function underpinning King’s world-class learning environment.

King’s College London is internationally renowned, ranked among the top universities globally, and recognised for delivering exceptional education, pioneering research, and a vibrant student experience. With over 800 staff dedicated to managing and expanding the university’s physical estate, the Estates & Facilities team plays a vital role in shaping the future of King’s. This role will put you at the heart of that work, supporting a complex portfolio of capital and operational projects that ensure King’s continues to inspire and innovate.

The Role

As Finance Business Partner, you will work closely with senior leaders across King’s to deliver high-quality financial insight, challenge assumptions, and ensure robust financial decision-making. You will play a key role in shaping the financial future of Estates & Facilities, providing strategic analysis and guidance on both operational performance and capital projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Business Partnering: Develop trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Operations and Faculties, becoming their go-to financial advisor
• Financial Planning & Analysis: Lead budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting processes, ensuring accuracy and clarity in financial narratives.
• Decision Support: Deliver insightful financial analysis to support strategic planning, scenario modelling, and risk management.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Confidently communicate complex financial matters to non-finance colleagues, helping them to understand performance and drive accountability.
• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to process improvement initiatives within the Finance Business Partnering team, sharing best practice and helping to build financial capability across the organisation.

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy working in a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment, are confident balancing multiple priorities, and are motivated by the opportunity to drive real impact in a values-led organisation.

About You

We are looking for someone who brings:

• A professional accountancy qualification (or is part-qualified with strong relevant experience).
• A robust background in management accounting, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Confidence in communicating complex financial information to non-financial audiences.
• Strong Excel and financial systems skills.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the ability to work independently.
• Experience of working in a complex organisation or with Estates Management teams (desirable).
• You’ll also have the interpersonal skills to build trusted relationships, the curiosity to keep learning, and the passion to play an active role in shaping the future of one of the UK’s most prestigious universities.

Why Join King’s?

Working at King’s means being part of an institution with a proud history of making a positive difference in the world. You’ll be joining a community that values diversity, promotes inclusion, and is committed to delivering excellence in everything it does.

In return, King’s offers:

• A flexible hybrid working model (two- three days a week onsite at Lavington Street).
• A supportive, inclusive workplace culture.
• 30 days of annual leave (not including bank holidays) and a competitive pension scheme as well as other fantastic benefits
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• The chance to contribute to high-profile projects that will shape the university’s future.

If you’re ready to play a pivotal role in the continued success of King’s College London, we’d love to hear from you.
