Finance Manager
The Epilepsy Research Institute serves as the central hub for the epilepsy research community. Our mission is to radically advance research into the causes, prevention and treatment of epilepsy and associated conditions. The Institute aims to strengthen the epilepsy research ecosystem by driving strategic investment and developing partnerships and collaborations between academia, the NHS, industry, funders, patient groups and people affected by epilepsy. Central to all we do is a culture of advocating and actioning the research priorities of people affected by epilepsy.
Underpinning our strategy are six themed research programmes, each with a task force group led by leading UK scientists and clinicians. These research themes are driving a programme to secure large-scale research investment which will feed into an overall roadmap for research into epilepsy.
The Institute is building an ecosystem that will attract the best researchers, foster an ambitious and inclusive culture of collaboration and enable research into epilepsy to flourish.
The Institute is seeking to employ a Finance Manager to lead the financial administration of the organisation through its next stage of development.
We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager, a qualified accountant who is ideally experienced in working with a charity or research environment. The post holder will be a self-starter that relishes a challenge, demonstrates full ownership of their role and who is prepared to support and develop the finance function of the Institute. They will need to be a hands-on Finance Manager who understands the mechanics of working within a small organisation, with competing and evolving priorities.
Application is by way of a CV and a covering letter containing a supporting statement that highlights why you are interested in the role and charity and how your experience fits the needs of the charity as set out in the person specification.
