Making growth work – sustainably and responsibly

Affinity Trust is a values-led social care charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and other assessed needs to live their lives, their way.

We’re growing - and with that growth comes a clear responsibility: to ensure our contracts, services and partnerships are commercially viable, operationally strong, and true to our social purpose.

We’re looking for a Commercial Manager who brings commercial rigour as well as curiosity - someone who can improve performance across existing contracts as confidently as they develop new opportunities.

This is a pivotal role, working closely with the Commercial Director, Finance, Operations and senior leaders across the organisation.

About the role

As Commercial Manager, you’ll play a key role in strengthening the financial sustainability and commercial performance of Affinity Trust.

You’ll focus on:

• ensuring existing contracts and services are commercially viable,
• identifying and delivering efficiency and value-for-money improvements, and
• developing strong, evidence-based business cases for growth, diversification and partnerships.

You’ll work across the organisation to turn insight into action - balancing ambition with realism, and growth with long-term sustainability.

What You’ll Do

• Strengthen commercial performance by reviewing contract viability, improving profitability, and leading value-for-money and efficiency initiatives.
• Develop robust business cases for growth, diversification, and partnerships, working closely with Operations and Finance to assess affordability, risk and return.
• Support sustainable growth by identifying new commercial opportunities and carrying out early-stage due diligence on partnerships or acquisitions.
• Use insight and data to track performance through clear KPIs and dashboards, informing senior decision-making.
• Work collaboratively across the organisation to ensure commercial decisions are operationally deliverable, person-centred and values-led.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll bring:

• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience improving contract performance or commercial efficiency.
• Proven experience developing and evaluating business cases and financial models.
• Understanding of commissioning, contracting and funding in social care, health or housing.
• Confidence working across teams and influencing senior stakeholders.
• A practical, analytical mindset - able to spot risk, challenge assumptions and find solutions.

How You’ll Make an Impact
You’ll help shape sustainable, person‑centred growth by aligning colleagues, ensuring commercial efficiency, and turning strategic ideas into real results.

What will we do?

• We offer hybrid working (min. 2 days/week in Thame)
• 31 days’ annual leave (inc. bank holidays), rising with service
• Health cash plan, Pension, Life assurance, Employee Assistance Programme
• Blue Light Card, option to buy extra annual leave
   

Inclusion, accessibility and our commitment to diversity
Diversity is key to what we do. Life would be dull, and change slow, if we all thought the same way. We want colleagues who bring different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences, and we know this makes us stronger and better for the people we support. 

We are committed to being Disability Confident and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy. 

We’re also committed to making our recruitment process as accessible as possible. If you need any reasonable adjustments at any stage, for example, accessible formats, support with the application form or adjustments for interview, you can tell us in your application or contact our recruitment team to discuss what you need.

Ready to join us?

If you’re ready to drive new commercial opportunities that make a real impact, connecting with colleagues to build strong relationships, making a real difference in a values-led charity, this could be your next role.

If you are offered the role, you will be required to have a DBS check at the relevant level, which we’ll cover the cost for.
