DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND RESOURCES
Church Mission Society connects with people at the edges – of church, of society, and of our comfort zones – all over the world to help share God’s love in creative ways and see our world made new. None of that is possible without someone making sure the money, the infrastructure and the governance behind it are rock solid. That's this role.
As Director of Finance and Resources, you'll sit on the Senior Leadership Team with genuine breadth of responsibility; financial strategy and management, investments, treasury, risk, legal and regulatory compliance, property and facilities, IT and cyber security, and corporate governance. You'll also hold oversight of CMS' residual pension-related responsibilities following the transfer of its defined-benefit pension liabilities, one of the more technical, long-tail parts of the brief.
It's a lot under one roof, and that's the honest challenge - this isn't a role for someone who wants to specialise in just one thing. You'll move comfortably between a board paper on investment strategy and a decision about the office lease, often in the same week. In return, you get real influence; you'll be a trusted adviser to the CEO and board, four direct reports (Head of Finance, Head of ICT, Facilities Manager and Head of Legal) who need your steer, and a seat at the table where CMS's biggest decisions get made.
We're looking for a qualified accountant with senior finance leadership experience, ideally from a charity, not-for-profit or values-led organisation, who can operate credibly at executive and board level. You'll know your way around financial planning, audit, internal controls and management reporting, and you'll have led teams before.
But the technical skills are only half of it. CMS needs someone with the wisdom to balance prudent stewardship against a sensible appetite for risk, the courage to hold a firm line when it matters, and the humility to lead in a way that lets other people do their best work. Above all, you'll believe that finance exists to serve the mission, not the other way round.
This post carries an Occupational Requirement, under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010, that the postholder is a practising Christian, and all applicants must be wholeheartedly committed to the aims, ethos and values of Church Mission Society, including its Ethos Statement.
Closing date: Monday 12 October 2026
First stage interviews with CMS: Monday 2 November (online)
Second stage interviews with CMS: Monday 9 November (in person)
For an informal conversation about the role, contact Adam Stacey, CEO at Charisma Charity Recruitment.
Applications should be submitted through the Charisma website, including your CV and a supporting statement. Please see the candidate pack for full details.

You will manage the CEO’s diary and inbox, prepare papers and correspondence, support the Senior Management Team, coordinate key organisational projects, and personally deliver day-to-day office administration, including covering reception.
This role would suit an individual who thrives in a varied environment, is confident managing multiple priorities, and is willing to take a practical, hands-on approach - no two days are the same. You will anticipate needs, help drive priorities forward, and play a key role in enabling the CEO, Senior Management Team and central officer to operate effectively.

You will work closely with the existing Operations Support Assistant in a job-share like partnership, keeping in touch and sharing information to support one another. This part of the job-share partnership will focus on managing the District Chairs diaries, coordinating room bookings and leading support for the Justice and Mission Group.

Routes to Roots is looking for an inspiring, compassionate and proactive Centre Manager to lead the day-to-day operation and future development of the Genesis Centre in Poole.
This is not a role where you will spend every day behind a desk.
You will be at the centre of a busy, welcoming homelessness service: leading people, building partnerships, solving problems, developing opportunities and making sure that people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity receive the very best possible support.
Some days will require strategic thinking. Others will require you to roll up your sleeves and help make things happen. We are looking for someone who can do both!
About the role
As Centre Manager, you will take the lead for the day-to-day running and continued development of the Genesis Centre, working closely with our Trustees, staff, volunteers and local partners. You will have real scope to shape how the service develops and to strengthen the Genesis Centre's role within Poole's response to homelessness.

About you
We are looking for someone with experience of managing people and/or volunteers and overseeing a service, programme or project, including budgets and resources.
You will ideally already have experience of working with people experiencing homelessness or vulnerability and be just as confident building effective relationships with someone walking through the doors of the Genesis Centre as with a volunteer, Trustee, commissioner or partner agency.
You will bring:
Experience of grant applications, fundraising or working within the voluntary, housing, health or social care sectors would be advantageous.
Most importantly, you will share our belief that people experiencing homelessness deserve dignity, respect, opportunity and the right support to move forward.
Why join Routes to Roots?
Routes to Roots is a Poole-based homelessness charity with a Christian ethos and more than 20 years' experience of supporting people who are rough sleeping, vulnerably housed or rebuilding their lives following homelessness.
Our Genesis Centre is much more than a traditional day centre.
It is a place where people can eat, shower, wash clothes, receive practical help and simply feel welcome. It is also a place where people can connect with housing, health, substance use and other specialist services, take part in activities and begin to move towards something different.
At its best, Genesis is a place of opportunity, connection and change.
This is a unique opportunity to take a leading role in a charity that is committed to supporting people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Poole.
You will have the opportunity to shape the future development of the Genesis Centre, work alongside dedicated Trustees, staff and volunteers, develop meaningful partnerships across the community and see the direct impact of your work.
Interested?
If you are an experienced manager who is passionate about making a difference and would like to play a key role in the future of Routes to Roots and the Genesis Centre, we would love to hear from you.
Routes to Roots is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from people from all backgrounds.
