Brain Research UK are seeking an Interim Finance Manager to oversee the finance function for 3-4 months.
About us
Brain Research UK (BRUK) funds world-class research to discover the causes, develop new treatments and improve the lives of all those who are affected by neurological conditions.
The brain is the most complex organ in our body. It weighs just 3lb, yet it controls our emotions, senses and actions. Every single one of them. It is how we process the world around us. So when it breaks down, we break down. It doesn’t have to be this way.
There are hundreds of neurological conditions. We fund the best research to discover the causes, develop new treatments and improve the lives of those affected. We inspire scientists and families to come together, side by side, stride by stride.
We are an agile organisation operating with a small staff base to deliver far reaching impact.
The role
Effective financial management is central to our strategy and operating model. The Finance Manager will be crucial in determining how we manage our finances, resources and operations whilst embedding a culture of financial efficiency and effective controls.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the Interim Finance Manager will lead on financial matters and be expected to provide critical financial information, insightful analysis and timely reporting to facilitate the growth of the Charity.
The role is standalone but working within a closeknit team. It with therefore have a degree of autonomy but will be expected to contribute to the wider development of the Charity. This is a pivotal appointment within the Charity and will provide some broad exposure to the Board and Investment Committee.
We are therefore seeking a dynamic qualified accountant who has had wide exposure to financial reporting and processes, preferably within a fundraising Charity. Being a financial ‘all rounder’, there is a real opportunity to contribute to the way the Charity operates by instilling sound financial operations and providing meaningful financial reporting. The role provides an opportunity to lead the finance function and will suit a progressive accountant looking for this kind of responsibility.
We would therefore be looking for an individual that has demonstrable experience in operating financial functions and has the personality to fit within a charity that works collaboratively.
The role covers a 3 to 4 month period commencing from late September. Early applications are encouraged so we can interview as soon as possible.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Why work for us?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a newly formed Trusts and Foundations team to help build new funding relationships with small and medium prospects and grow our existing partnerships with Trusts and Foundations. You’ll have the opportunity to manage a portfolio of donors, work with our expert teams on a diverse range of proposals from health to climate, education to humanitarian work, and the potential to make a real impact through your work.
This is a key growth area for us and CARE International UK has a good opportunity to develop innovative strategic partnerships with UK based Trusts and Foundations.
The Trusts & Foundations Specialist will also play a vital role as we seek to grow our unrestricted and restricted funding. Together we are working to unlock the potential of the UK grant giving sector to respond to the challenges facing communities globally.
Our current Trusts and Foundations portfolio is at an early stage with a small community of close donors including large, medium and small partnerships. Our ambition is to grow into a multi-million programme of strategic partnerships with a diverse range of Trusts and Foundations in support of CARE’s goals.
This is an exciting role where you will be at the centre of our growth, and you will have a real opportunity to make your mark. You will be supported in your development and work within a talented, ambitious and creative team.

You will enjoy relationship-based fundraising, developing compelling and engaging donor proposals, reports and thankings.

You will have experience navigating a complex organisation, coordinating with different stakeholders and with negotiating externally and internally.

A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are also essential qualities for this role.
While you don’t need to have had direct experience in an international humanitarian or development organisation, you will have an understanding of or strong interest in international development. Most of all, you will have a commitment to helping others, enjoy learning and staying curious.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a newly formed Trusts and Foundations team, with a mission to raise funds for CARE International’s work globally to shift power and resources to women and local communities.

Company Description
Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from.
The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways:
- Growing and transforming our direct care and support

- Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience
