MLC Partners are working with a large-scale children’s care home provider to recruit a Finance Business Partner into a newly created position. Having recently restructured the finance team, this role has been created to help the organisation expand their offering in this area. With the growth of this area being critical to the charity, the role will have a lot of senior exposure and offers a great opportunity for future growth.

Main responsibilities of the role include:

• Conduct investment appraisals at all stages of the development of new care homes, ensuring this is clearly communicated to the wider business.
• Business partner with a variety of stakeholders across the organisation, flexing your style for different areas of the business.
• Work closely with the MD of the care-home business to identify commercially viable options for future homes.
• Carry out cashflow and balance sheet modelling, in addition to scenario and cost modelling.

The successful candidate will be a fully qualified accountant with significant experience of capital investment appraisals. To carry out these investment appraisals, you’ll need to be an expert Excel user with substantial modelling skills using large amounts of data. To successfully deliver the targeted growth in this area, you will need to bring a commercial mindset and a self-starter attitude. Experience in the charity sector isn’t necessary, although having carried out investment appraisals within a care home environment would be ideal.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more autonomy and strategic direction in their role and will be a great role to have on your CV, opening doors both internally and externally. This role will likely be filled before the advert closes, so please do not delay in applying.
