We’re seeking a Finance Business Partner to join our Finance Team, a key group dedicated to making the most of our resources to help achieve our vision: a world where no man dies from prostate cancer.
As a Finance Business Partner, you’ll work closely with Directors and Department Heads, helping them understand their financial needs, offering advice on best practices, and providing insights or challenges when necessary. You'll manage and prepare financial reports, including forecasts, budgets, Board KPIs, and management accounts, giving guidance and recommendations where needed.
You'll be a supportive "critical friend" to our programmes, offering advice on finance and procurement, and actively contributing to new projects to establish strong processes. By supporting various programmes, you’ll keep an eye on budgets and forecasts, making sure budget holders have the tools they need to monitor their spending. This includes preparing templates, leading training sessions, and responding to any business needs.
Your role will focus on continuously improving business partnering processes that affect our financial reporting and monitoring, always looking for new ways to share business information across teams.
You'll also provide ongoing training and support to budget holders, ensuring compliance with our policies. You'll champion innovation, continuous improvement, and a focus on customer and user engagement for budget holders and key stakeholders.
What we want from you
We’re looking for a candidate with a recognised professional qualification (CIMA &/or ACCA preferred) with demonstrable experience. Someone who has a proven record of process development, driving improvement and has proven experience of preparing financial information (e.g., management accounts).
You’ll be able to problem solve and work positively and flexibly to deliver results.

You’ll be customer-focused, innovative and flexible, keeping our values at the front of everything that you do.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for the communities we support. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.
We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.
