Finance and Operations Manager

Due to the rapid expansion of Day One Trauma Support over the last three years, the charity’s infrastructure has needed to respond quickly to meet its changing demands. There is now a requirement to ensure that the Finance and Resources team has the right skill set and capacity to provide the support needed by the charity in an efficient and proactive way.

The Finance and Operations Manager role is a newly created position to reflect both the growing finance needs of the charity as the level of activity increases, and the operational support required by the Director of Finance and Resources and Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to ensure the efficient and effective running of the charity. This is a key role which is instrumental in bringing the finance and operational functions together.

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Resources, this role will be part of the Extended Leadership Team (ELT), oversee the finance function and play a crucial part in supporting the Service and Fundraising and Communications teams in ‘back office’ functions.  A key aspect of the role will be to provide accurate and timely financial reporting and analysis and being able to communicate this effectively to non-financial stakeholders.  Building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders throughout all levels of the organisation will be critical.

The role will also provide crucial support to the Director of Finance and Resources, to ensure the smooth operation of other areas of responsibility such as IT, contracts and office management, and co-ordinating efforts of various parties to ensure completion of key tasks and actions.

As part of an expanding and ambitious organisation, there are development opportunities for the successful candidate and the ability to help shape the infrastructure of the charity.
