MLC are proud to be partnered with Young Roots to recruit their new Head of Finance & Internal Operations.
Currently celebrating their 20th anniversary, Young Roots is a rapidly expanding, London-based charity working with young refugees and asylum seekers aged 11-25, most of whom are alone in the UK without their families. Having grown significantly over the past 4 years, they support young people to improve their wellbeing and fulfil their potential, through intensive one-to-one casework, youth and sporting activities, English language mentoring, youth leadership and access to specialist therapeutic and legal advice.
They are also now utilising our years of frontline work and deep understanding of the challenges faced by young refugees and asylum seekers for policy influencing and campaigning, to bring about positive change.
Reporting directly into the CEO, the role is a key member of the senior leadership team, with significant involvement in the strategic vision of the organisation as a whole. With a broad portfolio, the role combines both operational and strategic elements and must be able to flex up and down accordingly. With multiple offices across London, the role is hybrid but has a number of options to be as flexible as possible.
Main responsibilities of the role:
- Manage, lead and develop a team of 4 direct reports across finance, HR, estates and IT, ensuring high quality delivery across all areas.
- Oversee the production of accurate, timely and easy-to-understand financial reports on a monthly basis, as well as ensuring procedures are in place for annual budgeting and forecasting.
- Grow an excellent finance and ops team to match the expansion of the organisation, ensuring processes and policies also grow and are fit for purpose on a regular basis.
The successful candidate will:
- Be a qualified accountant with experience working in the not-for-profit sector or have experience working with charities from an audit perspective.
- Have drive and ambition, but they don’t necessarily need to have held a similar role beforehand. Someone stepping up into their first SLT role would be a great fit for the organisation.
- Understand and deliver on the need to take both a high-level strategic approach, as well as get their ‘hands dirty’ when the need arises.
- Have experience dealing with large and complex restricted funds, demonstrating understanding of how best to process and streamline these.
This is a great opportunity for an ambitious individual looking for a high impact role, with the ability to shape an organisation for years to come.
Young Roots recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equity and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those who can face disadvantage in employment, such as people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ individuals and people with disabilities. As an organisation that supports refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, we particularly welcome applications from people within these communities.
Young Roots is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. We operate a system of safer recruitment and employment is subject to receipt of satisfactory references, pre-employment checks and a DBS check.
