Woodgreen Pets Charity is looking for a Director of Finance and Corporate Services to play a key leadership role in our ambitious strategy, and in ensuring the success of Woodgreen and our impact for pets and their people. We need a critical thinker who will help challenge us all on our plans, performance and management of risk, while simultaneously being energised by our vision and who therefore supports and enables the organisation to find new solutions, innovate and think differently. This isn’t a paradox in our view, but rather a unique opportunity to work closely with the CEO and wider leadership team to define and make real a new category and type of pet support charity.
This year we celebrate our centenary and 100 years of providing shelter, care and support to pets and pet owners with no one to turn to. While we are exceptionally proud of the impact that this critical care and support has had, the challenging events of recent years, and the continued plight of so many vulnerable pets and struggling pet owners, mean that as well as being a time of celebration we have taken time to reflect, reimagine and consider how the next 100 years can accomplish our vision where every pet has a loving home for life.
We’re working to a new, 5-year strategy that will reposition Woodgreen to have a greater emphasis on helping pets before problems arise through prevention and early intervention work with pet owners, communities and our partners. It will need digital and technology transformation, big change as well as continuous improvement, and a belief in our people and their amazing potential impact for pets and people. Our ambition is to challenge and change the pet shelter model, building on our care and rehoming work to develop and deliver a range of information, advice, and support services at scale, provided through new approaches, new channels and new partnerships.
The Director of Finance and Corporate Services will be critical to any success we have – they will provide strategic oversight of finance, technology and facilities teams while guiding them to strengthen organisational capabilities and practice around strategic planning, performance and risk management.
With a growth mindset they will embrace challenges and be comfortable with ambiguity, bring strengths with humility, recognise failure as potential for improvement, and foster a learning, inquisitive culture above all.
If you are;
- An experienced senior leader, with a proven track record to motivate, inspire and build empowered teams
- A fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or ACMA) from a registered accounting body, able to support Woodgreen to be financially healthy and thriving.
- Inspired by technology enablement, transformation and innovation in our sector
And have;
- A commercially astute mind, with excellent judgement and deft skills to both challenge and review ideas with solutions and innovation to achieve our goals.
- Experience of supporting organisations to develop, adopt and sustain improved working practices for efficiency, effectiveness and robust risk management.
- A keen ability to identify, support and develop talent around you in individuals and teams
- An understanding and experience of shaping and influencing teams towards a learning and continuous improvement practice and culture.
We would love to hear from you!
The salary for this position will be £90,000 - £100,000 per annum, depending on experience. This will be complemented by;
- 30 days annual leave entitlement (excluding bank holidays) rising to 32 days after 3 years’ service
- Pension - employer contributions match employee contributions up to 8%
- Group life insurance (4 x basic salary)
- Healthshield cash plan
This is a hybrid opportunity with an expectation of attendance and presence at our Godmanchester site to fulfil the duties of the role, act as a member of the executive and senior leadership team, and to play a cross-organisational role in support of our strategy, mission and values. It is anticipated that this would typically be around 2-3 days on site per week, however this could be flexible with the emphasis being on providing organisational leadership and impact.
The closing date for applications is midnight on the 18th August 2024, however we will be considering applications throughout the period.
Please note that this role is subject to a range of pre-employment checks to include a basic DBS check.
Woodgreen is committed to safeguarding children and adults at risk and protecting anyone that comes into contact with us from harm. We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
