We are seeking a Head of Finance to lead on ensuring the financial health, operational effectiveness and organisational sustainability of the company.

Help protect the green spaces that matter to every community — forever
Parks, playgrounds, sports fields and green spaces are essential to our physical and mental wellbeing, to thriving communities, and to a healthier planet. Yet too many of these spaces are under threat.
Fields in Trust exists to change that. For over 100 years, we have worked to legally protect the UK’s green spaces so they can never be lost to development. Following our centenary year and the launch of a bold new five-year strategy, we are now focused on growing our impact, strengthening our organisation, and securing our long-term future.
The opportunity
We are seeking a values-driven Director of Finance and Resources to join our Senior Leadership Team at a pivotal moment for the charity.
This part-time role is about far more than numbers. It is an opportunity to use your financial leadership to safeguard green spaces for generations to come — ensuring Fields in Trust has the resilience, systems and governance needed to deliver lasting impact.
You will play a central role in shaping our financial strategy as we diversify income, develop new commercial opportunities, and continue to evolve as an organisation. Alongside finance, you will also provide strategic oversight of our resources, including IT, HR, facilities and risk.
What you’ll do
- Shape and lead a long-term financial strategy that supports our mission and ambitions
- Provide clear, insightful financial analysis and forecasting to inform strategic decisions
- Work closely with trustees and the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee to ensure strong governance, transparency and accountability
- Strengthen and develop the finance function (currently outsourced), embedding robust systems, controls and reporting
- Support the growth of new income streams through financial modelling and commercial insight
- Oversee budgeting, statutory accounts, audit and compliance
- Ensure our IT systems, data and digital infrastructure are secure, effective and fit for the future
- Provide strategic oversight of HR processes, payroll, pensions, facilities, health and safety and business continuity
- Be a key part of the SLT and play a critical role in shaping wider strategy and direction
- Provide clear communication and in-depth support as the key interface between finance and the rest of the organisation
Who we’re looking for
You will be an experienced senior finance leader who combines strong technical expertise with a deep sense of purpose. You might come from the charity, public or private sector, but you will share our commitment to protecting green spaces and public benefit.
You will bring:
- Strategic financial leadership experience at senior level
- A strong understanding of governance, risk and working with boards or trustees
- Experience supporting organisations through change or growth
- A collaborative, inclusive and pragmatic leadership style
- The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery in a part-time role
Most importantly, you will be motivated by our mission and excited by the opportunity to make a lasting difference.
