Join 130 Primrose as a Strategic Finance Trustee. Help an exciting team guide our forecasting, cashflow and scaling plans for a mission where every plate creates a fresh start.

We’re seeking a Trustee with strategic finance (CFO-level) expertise to strengthen our board as we grow and to help us scale our mission to bring economic opportunites to those impacted by homelessness. 

You’ll bring commercial acumen to our mission—helping us plan sustainably, understand our unit economics, and scale responsibly—without being “the accountant.” Our operations are hospitality-led, so experience in catering, hospitality, or multi-site venues is helpful (not essential).

About 130 Primrose

130 Primrose is a charity restaurant in Primrose Hill, formerly Home Kitchen Diner. We recruit, train, and employ people with lived experience of homelessness, offering real jobs, and accredited qualifications in hospitality. We’re scaling impact through great food, fair work, and fresh starts. 

What you’ll do

· Support the Board and Chair with financial strategy, planning, and risk management.

· Challenge and refine our financial model, forecasting, and cashflow planning (12–36 months).

· Help shape P&L, balance sheet and cash visibility that operators can use day-to-day.

· Advise on site-level unit economics, menu margin mix, labour model, and cost control.

· Strengthen budgeting, KPI dashboards, and scenario modelling for growth (e.g., second site in Brighton).

· Support funding strategy: grants, philanthropy, corporate partnerships, social investment.

· Create a Finance & Risk Committee (chair if appropriate).

· Ensure robust governance, internal controls, and compliance with charity and company law.

· Act as a critical friend—asking the right questions, mentoring our leadership and on site General Manager and team, and championing our mission.

We’re not looking for

· A bookkeeper or day-to-day accountant. We want a strategic finance leader who can translate numbers into decisions and coach an operations-minded team.
