Are you a commercially and risk-aware finance professional with a strong analytical mindset and a desire to make a real impact using your skills in financial management, planning and analysis? Do you want to use and develop your knowledge and skills to support the delivery of vital services to pets at a national scale by influencing operational and strategic decision-making at a senior level?
We’re looking for two, mutually-supporting, Finance Business Partners to join our Finance team at Woodgreen, where their insight and initiative will help shape the future of our charity in these newly created positions.
Our successful candidates will individually and collectively contribute to the effective financial management of Woodgreen Pets Charity and its trading subsidiary, Wood Green Enterprises Limited (“WGEL”). They will work closely with the Executive Leadership Team and senior leaders to provide expert financial guidance, insight, challenge, and assurance across a wide range of financial management, planning and analysis activities.
Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, but working independently within the charity and often with minimal supervision, you will be confident using your own initiative to identify opportunities, risks, and solutions. You will provide actionable insights for budget holders, whilst maintaining rigorous attention to the provision of accurate and timely financial reporting, compliance with relevant policies and procedures, and robust audit-ready record keeping. You will:
- Build trust with decision makers and budget holders so that Finance Business Partner analysis, advice and guidance is actively sought and adds value in generating desired business outcomes.
- Provide insightful financial analysis, promoting commercial and risk awareness to inform decision making, providing constructive challenge and ensuring that financial governance, control and alignment to Woodgreen’s strategic plans is maintained.
- Be highly visible and engage early in supporting projects and leading them where required. This will include the development of the financial aspects of business cases, particularly the financial aspects which ensure that business cases are of a consistent high quality and are robust and accurate.
The two roles will be equivalent, offering similar opportunities and challenges, but will be responsible for different areas of the charity’s work. One role will partner with budget holders in the Income and Engagement Directorate, which includes responsibilities for regular audits of Woodgreen’s retail estate and may involve some regional travel. The second role will partner with budget holders in the Pet and Corporate Services directorates, plus the CEO as the lead director for WGEL.
If you have:
- a detailed understanding of Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, IF statements, and other advanced functions;
- the ability to manage and interpret large volumes of data and understand complex interdependencies;
- strong influencing, communication and negotiating skills;
- a strategic mindset;
- are emotionally intelligent, can see the bigger picture, and consider the human impact behind the numbers;
- have an awareness of the current financial and economic environment affecting the charity sector.
And are a qualified member of CIMA or a CCAB, or qualified by substantial experience in an equivalent Finance Business Partner role with demonstrable evidence of ongoing relevant Continuous Professional Development.
We would love to hear from you!
These are full time, permanent, hybrid positions with the expectation that the successful applicants will work approximately 1 day a week from our Godmanchester site. As our Finance Business Partner, Income and Engagement will also be required to travel to our retail shops approximately 1 – 2 times a month a full driving licence will be essential for this role.
In addition to a starting salary of £45,511 - £55,625 per annum, depending on experience, you will receive;
- 36 days annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays) rising by 1 day each year to 40 days after five years
- Up to 8% employer pension contributions
- Support towards healthcare costs (cashplan)
- Free access to Headspace
- Life assurance (4x salary)
- Benefits hub – exclusive discounts on popular brands
- 25% discount in our charity shops
