In addition to its annual revenues of c.£11m the institute holds assets of c. £10m of which c. £7m is managed by Barclays Wealth. The finance directorate combines the finance, compliance, IT and HR functions.
Since 2018 CILEX has been following a radical strategic plan that aimed to transform the standing of the profession to cement its equivalence to solicitors that was granted in changes made in legal services legislation from 2007 – 2014 by:

• Ensuring that the supporting technology is fit for purpose and enables the minimum amount of ‘double handling’ or reprocessing in core finance processes
• Taking ownership of working capital and developing a programme of debt re[1]payment that strengthens our balance sheet and enables further investment in product and technology
• Ensuring that the IT department and the core systems it supports are fit for purpose and exploited to the maximum to deliver lowest cost technology support for products and services
• Maximising the return from our cash assets over the long-term
• Ensuring a successful annual audit and the preparation of the Annual Report & Accounts
• Ownership of the risk appetite, risk management process and internal audit
• Ownership of the annual plan and budget process and the reporting of performance to the executive and the Board.
Direct Reports:
• Head of Finance
• Head of IT

• Collegiate, approachable and willing to get involved in order to get things done
• An effective team coach and leader, able to set standards and help teams embrace and achieve them

Just Treatment is excited to be hiring a Youth Mental Health Organiser to work alongside our Senior Youth Mental Health Organiser and young people directly affected by the youth mental health crisis. This role focuses on supporting young people to lead powerful campaigns that hold the corporations driving and profiting from the youth mental health crisis to account.
If you’re passionate about empowering communities and creating systemic change, we’d love to hear from you!
Just Treatment is a growing patient-led campaign fighting to ensure everyone gets the healthcare they need by demanding that the government acts to put patients before corporate profits. We believe the only way we can achieve these changes is by building a movement of those directly affected by the problem to challenge the power of the pharmaceutical and health industries. We have a track record of high impact campaigns that have changed the lives of the people we work with, and thousands of NHS patients, by forcing corporations and politicians to move.
Our approach is centred on deep organising with a cohort of patient leaders who have been directly impacted by the health injustices on which we campaign. This group steer and lead our campaigns, but are supported by a much larger group of volunteers and supporters. This role will be focused on our campaign strand around the crisis in young people’s mental health, focused on the role that late-stage capitalism is having on both the drivers of poor mental health, mental illness, and madness, and the ineffective responses to this crisis.
The role has two distinct parts: providing administrative support that facilitates the work of the Senior Youth Mental Health Organiser; and identifying and developing the leadership of young people directly affected by these health injustices and their families, building trusting relationships that ensure they are able to shape the strategy and lead the campaigns that win tangible improvements in the mental health and wellbeing of the people we are campaigning with and for.
You will work with key external allies to coordinate and multiply our campaigns, and ensure there are meaningful actions volunteers and supporters can do to further our campaign goals . You’ll love working as part of a collaborative, small team and you’ll thrive on building trusting relationships with the people you work with. And you’ll be committed to taking on David Vs Goliath fights for justice.
