Finance Director Jobs in London

Are you an experienced fundraiser with a track record of securing and managing large grants? Do you enjoy finding creative and proactive ways to build relationships with new and existing funders? We’re looking for a talented fundraiser to join us. Reporting to the Development Director and working closely with our project leads, this role will be a crucial addition to our mission-driven team. Individuals who are passionate about public interest journalism and its power to drive real-world change are encouraged to apply.

About the Bureau

The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent non-profit investigative journalism organisation. In the last year, our investigations were published in over 100 countries across local, national, international, specialist, TV and digital platforms. Our four global investigative teams work with reporters around the world on priority cross-border issues – environment, health, dirty money and big tech. In addition, our UK-focused Bureau Local team uses an innovative community-led approach to cover issues like insecure work, migrant rights and family courts, amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. Founded in 2010, we’ve grown from a small group of journalists to a diverse team delivering hard-hitting investigations that have prompted inquiries, sparked legal challenges and informed policy change in the UK and across the world. This role will initially focus on the work of our Bureau Local and Dirty Money teams.

Our fundraising

At the Bureau, our funders and supporters are vital. We are almost entirely funded through grants and donations so – put simply – without their support, we wouldn’t be here.

Although our supporters may come from different backgrounds or have varied priorities, they all share a common goal: tackling the issues across our society that are eroding democracy and driving inequality. They support our work to hold those in power accountable, uncover new evidence to support positive change, and empower citizens.

The Bureau has experienced significant growth over the past three years, increasing our annual income to £2.8m and expanding to a team of more than 40 people. While the majority of our income comes from grants, there is strong potential for further fundraising growth, and we are actively working to diversify our funding streams beyond trusts and foundations.

This is an exciting time to join the Bureau as we continue to build on our strong relationships with existing supporters while exploring new funding opportunities.

Role and Responsibilities:

Support from trusts and foundations is our main source of philanthropic income so we are looking for somebody with experience in grants fundraising who can quickly apply their skills and expertise. You’ll work closely with our Development Director to report to and liaise with current funders, manage a pipeline of prospects and submit successful applications to secure new grants. You’ll also work closely with our other Fundraising Manager, who manages a pipeline focused on our environment, global health, and big tech work, and may be asked to work on these areas from time to time. In addition, you will support in building a major donor programme to diversify and strengthen our funding base. You will collaborate with colleagues at all levels across the organisation, from impact producers to reporters to finance and operations, in a supportive and welcoming culture that values teamwork and shared success.

As an excellent communicator, you will be able to take complex issues and translate them into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with funders and stakeholders. You will also be passionate about building strong relationships with our funders and supporters.

While experience in high net worth fundraising would be a valuable bonus, it is not essential. You don’t need to have raised funds for non-profit media before, but you do need to be excited by our work and able to express the Bureau’s key areas of work and impact in an accessible, accurate and compelling way. We’re a small team, so you’ll need the willingness to pitch in on fundraising tasks – big or small – to ensure the Bureau is in the best possible position to pursue its mission.

We envisage this as a full-time, primarily hybrid working role, working from our London office two/three times a week.

Skills and Experience

• Excellent fundraiser with a demonstrable track record of 3+ years’ experience successfully raising significant funds for charities or non-profits and managing relationships with funders (foundations - essential, high net worth individuals - desirable);
• Strong background in managing grants admin, including due diligence and processing agreements;
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, able to speak and write English fluently;
• Great analytical skills, with experience of researching and identifying new funding sources for various projects;
• Ability to work to tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities;
• Experience of working with databases and funding pipelines;
• Exceptional time management skills, a professional attitude and meticulous attention to detail;
• Resourceful and able to think creatively with strong problem solving skills;
• Strong interpersonal skills, able to collaborate at all levels across the organisation.
• Experience in securing funds for journalism, social justice, civil society, human rights or related causes, particularly from UK funders, is desirable but not essential;

Benefits - what we offer

• 25 days annual leave
• Additional gifted leave during Christmas festive break
• Flexible working arrangements
• Hybrid working
• EAP - Employee assistance programme
• Enhanced sick pay
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 12 months’ service
• Learning and development opportunities
• Cycle to work scheme

About Us

Your Employment Settlement Service (YESS) is a legal advice charity and a company limited by guarantee. Established in 2014, we provide free and affordable employment law advice to people and organisations who cannot source this elsewhere. We do not litigate; our focus is on maintaining working relationships where possible or reaching negotiated agreements where it is not. We are approachable, collaborative, and constructive. Aggressive or adversarial styles have no place at YESS.

As well as advice work, we also have a growing mediation practice. We contribute to many working groups and panels to represent the needs of lower paid and vulnerable workers in the development of legal advice provision and employment law.

Typically, 10-20% of our work is grant funded, benefiting clients on low or no income (although this is currently under 10%). A small amount comes from donations. The remainder comes from paying clients.

The Role

As CEO, you will lead our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff, oversee the delivery of our strategic goals, and act as the public face of the charity. You will work with and advise the Board of Trustees, in relation to YESS’s activities, performance and strategic direction.

About You

Essential attributes:

• Experience in the delivery of revenue-generating employment legal advice services gained in charity and/or private practice settings (in the capacity as either a qualified lawyer or as someone who has managed/directed qualified lawyers in the delivery of such advice).
• Commitment to YESS’s fundamental principle of resolving workplace disputes without litigation.
• Experience of leadership and strategy development.
• Excellent at relationship-building and communication, with proven networking skills.
• A desire to spread awareness of YESS’s work and influence policy development in employment relations and employment law.
• Experience in organisational growth and change management.
• Understanding of finance including budgets and cashflow.
• Commitment to implementing technology to make the most of YESS’s limited resources.

Desirable attributes:

• Fundraising and donor management experience
• Administration of grants and evaluating project outcomes
• Understanding of charity finance
• Understanding of finance in a legal services context, including work in progress, utilisation and lock up.
• Experience of working with trustees or other volunteer governance roles
• Experience of leading/managing staff remotely

What We Offer

• Salary: £65,000 per annum (pro-rata for part-time). Discretionary bonus dependent on organisational performance. 
• 30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time)
• Home working with flexibility of office attendance

About us

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children living near the coast, who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, grandparent carers, for families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.

Families choose the holiday they need. It could be a caravan on the coast, a woodland adventure, or a day out at a theme park, museum or gallery. And whatever the weather, if it means time spent together, even a day’s holiday helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.

Holidays also bring

• increased participation in education and paid work
•  improved learning and behaviour at school
•  more proactive and positive attitudes towards other types of support

Fight Bladder Cancer is a UK-based bladder cancer charity founded and run by bladder cancer patients and their families / carers.

We provide personal support anyone affected by bladder cancer in the U.K. We also help raise public awareness, support medical research, and campaign to influence policy at the highest levels to bring about improvements in bladder cancer treatments.

We may be a small organisation in relative terms, but we are one with big ambitions and for good reason.

The number of people in the UK living with bladder cancer currently exceeds 100,000 and with around 20,000 new cases each year, despite a 16% reduction in instances over the past decade, early diagnosis and treatment remain a key challenge.

Our patient support work is endorsed by patients, their families and by medical professionals alike and is recognised as being the leading source of information about Bladder Cancer for patients, carers and practitioners.

The key to our success has been that we are a patient-led organisation and one that seeks to put the patient-voice at the heart of the public health policy and funding debate. We can point to having achieved tangible success in influencing the improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Our ambition is for a dimensional increase in our public information and awareness work. We aim to double our income to increase our capacity for delivering on our continued commitment to support people with bladder cancer and their families and to influence the future pattern and quality of health services for this neglected cancer.

There are all the foundations needed to achieve the objectives for growth and increase impact – a deserved reputation for the quality of what we do and our expertise, a successful income generation programme with potential for growth, a committed team of staff and volunteers, and all supported by sound governance.

As our next Chief Executive, you will lead on the delivery of the achievement of our ambitions and improve the patient experience for literally thousands of people.

How to apply

Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement, which should clearly set out your motivations for the role and how your experience to date meets the requirements.

Join a passionate team working to empower care leavers and at-risk young people to achieve their full potential. At The Big House, we use theatre workshops to upskill and support vulnerable young people to enter sustained employment or education and transform their lives.

We are looking for an energetic and driven candidate to take ownership of the development of communications and brand awareness at The Big House. They will be comfortable to both collaboratively generate ideas and independently deliver content. We are looking for someone who is excited about working across multiple projects focussed on different audiences. Our ideal candidate is passionate about creating social change and motivated to promote the work of The Big House to philanthropic audiences and the theatre world. This is the perfect role for someone who wants to create big change within a small, passionate team.

The Big House has one mission: to enable care leavers and at-risk young people to fulfil their potential. Through drama and tailored long-term support we help care leavers and at-risk young people overcome traumas experienced in childhood so they can make the complex transition from looked-after child to independent adult. The Big House's main activities are: weekly drop-in drama and employment workshops and the 3-month Open House Project which runs twice yearly.

Our work in PRUs started in 2024 when it was noted that young people who are referred to The Big House had often spent some time in alternative education provisions. We wanted to reach these young people earlier in their life to introduce them to The Big House both as a potential support network after finishing school and a creative channel through which to build important skills like teamwork and communication. We currently work with six PRUs across London but hope to expand the programme in the next academic year.

We are now looking for a Programme Manager to manage the PRU programme to ensure its success. The ideal candidate would be an experienced drama facilitator with a passion for social change who can lead our work in PRUs. The Programme Manager will be responsible for designing the workshop curriculum, managing facilitation, and ensuring the smooth-running of the programme. This role would suit someone who is committed to making a long term success of The Big House’s PRU programme.

This role is 24 hours per week (excluding lunch breaks) with a working pattern of 9am - 4pm for 4 days per week. Working location is split between in-person delivery in schools, at the office and remote working.

Fixed-term contract to April 2026 (maternity cover)
