The Senior Finance Manager is a new role at Bite Back and will lead our financial management, practices and policies. We are a relatively new non-profit, established in 2019, and have now grown to a staff team of nearly 30 people with a turnover of £2.3 million. 

Bite Back was initially housed within the umbrella of our founder’s company, the Jamie Oliver Group, and in the past 18 months we have decoupled our finances and operations and become a fully independent non-profit.

We are increasingly receiving restricted funds and contracts for service and expect this type of funding to grow this year.

It is an exciting time for a Senior Finance Manager to join the team and be involved in the strategic and operational development that we need to support Bite Back through its next phase of growth.
