Charity People are delighted to be working in partnership with Carers Trust to find an exceptional new Head of Finance and Business Support to join their successful growing organisation.

At Carers Trust their people are important to them. Without their people, they cannot ensure that unpaid carers get the recognition, help and support that they need.

The Head of Finance and Business Support is an exciting new role which will act as a key business partner working across the organisation and be a key member of their leadership team and will lead on:

* all aspects of financial and resource planning and reporting

The Head of Finance and Business Support will provide leadership to the Finance team working as an enabler to the business, through ensuring effective practice and excellence in all areas based on their values.
