Do you thrive on working collaboratively and collegiately with partners, teams and boards?
Are you a creative thinker, able to work with others to bring about innovation?

About Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving

Our vision is of a society where everyone has the opportunity to live a rewarding and fulfilled life, free from poverty and inequality. We aim to bring about change to improve the lives of Islington’s most disadvantaged residents by providing grants, working in partnership and advocating for positive change. We make grants of £1.8m a year and are a pioneer of a new place-based giving movement.
Islington Giving now forms a significant part of the work of Cripplegate Foundation. It operates as a restricted fund of the Foundation and brings together a coalition of local, regional and national funders, residents, businesses and voluntary organisations to tackle stubborn issues of poverty and inequality. It has raised over £6m in nine years to invest in innovative programmes.

It’s an exciting time to join us!

The next few years promise to be pivotal in shaping the future role of Cripplegate Foundation and taking Islington Giving and the place-based giving movement even further. The current post holder has made a significant contribution to the development and leadership of the Foundation and the new post holder will inherit a strong finance and resources function. There will, however, be lots of exciting challenges to engage with as part of the Senior Management Team and in terms of the ongoing development of the resources team and function.
The opportunities to make a real contribution are manifold, including:

• Working creatively and innovatively with the SMT, the Governors of Cripplegate Foundation and the Board of Islington Giving to develop new visions and programmes for the future.
• Leading the resources function and provide advice and guidance to ensure that Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving continues to demonstrate best practice and maintains its reputation as a respected, trusted and thoughtful grant-maker, employer and investor.

About you

The new Director of Finance and Resources will need to be consultative, with strong listening skills and respect for the opinions of others. They will need the confidence and expertise to advise and guide the team and governors, enabling them to deliver innovation, whilst maintaining best practice and ensuring compliance. They will need to be able to relate to the big picture and vision, whilst also being able to consider the detail. The applicant could be someone who is developing their career or they may be someone who has already held a similar role in another charity. Whatever your background, we would be delighted to hear from you, especially if you:

• Have experience of leading and managing,
• Have a sound track record of managing finances,
• Have experience of, or a curiosity to learn about, investments and the non-financial aspects of this role.

We value diversity, equality and inclusivity. Applications are welcomed from underrepresented backgrounds, including but not limited to gender, race, age, sexual orientation and religion.

The successful candidate is likely to have a track-record of delivering community-linked collaborative projects, preferably (though not necessarily exclusively) in relation to education and independent/maintained sector links and a proven ability to galvanizing people within an organisation to contribute to social responsibility projects or similar.

History of CBM Global

Until now, the CBM federation has been made up of 10 Member Associations (MAs) providing the vital link between persons with disabilities in 25 of the poorest countries, and people that have the interest, capacities and resources to help.

There have for some time been fundamental differences over how CBM should best place itself to contribute to the wider disability agenda. Earlier this year, it was agreed that a new federation – CBM Global – would be formed with a simplified governance and a greater focus on disability inclusion. And while our excellent field programmes will continue there will be a greater emphasis on the interconnection between programme, advocacy and advisory work.

With an income of €43m, CBM Global is made up of 7 of the Member Associations (CBM Australia, CBM Ireland, CBM Kenya, CBM New Zealand, CBM South Africa, CBM Switzerland, and CBM UK) with programmes worldwide and Country Offices in 11 countries (Philippines, Bangladesh, Laos, Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Burkina, Nigeria, Madagascar and Bolivia).

There is widespread excitement about the opportunities the fresh federation affords. Coming with strong networks, substantial funds and a progressive approach to development, we now have the chance to configure ourselves to serve and thrive in the INGO context of the 2020s and beyond.

Greenwich Hospital is a unique 325 year old Crown Charity. The Hospital provides charitable support including annuities, sheltered housing and education to serving and retired personnel of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines and their dependants. We also are the parent organisation for the Royal Hospital School, a high quality co-educational boarding school in Suffolk. The Hospital’s income comes from a £260m property portfolio based in Greenwich London, Suffolk and Northumberland and a £100m financial investment portfolio.

We are looking for a driven and forward thinking Director of Finance to join the organisation during an exciting time of change, as we challenge ourselves to dramatically increase the level of funding available for charitable causes and look to modernise our structure.

As the new Director of Finance you will be central to the delivery of our vision, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer to support the design and implementation of our new strategy. You will help to ensure that our funds are managed properly and securely, and to the best effect. You will make sure that our financial management is up to the high standards expected; and that funding is available for both property development and charitable purposes. You will help to modernise our operations to deliver the support to the naval sector that they need during a time of great change and challenge. 

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant, and will need to demonstrate:

• Proven experience in a leadership role;
• Experience at Board level and ability to work in collaboration with Trustees and colleagues;
• Understanding and experience of strategic risk management, finance audit and internal controls

This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual.  We are seeking a confident, dynamic and engaging individual with excellent communication skills and confidence to operate at the highest levels. Not-for-Profit, property and government-regulatory experience would each be an advantage, more so if the experience is in more than one sector. This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual.  Please see the job description for a fuller list of responsibilities. If you feel you have the skills and experience to succeed in this role we very much look forward to hearing from you. 

Please submit your CV, with a supporting statement describing why you would be the best person to join this team and make Greenwich Hospital the best it can be.
