About Midlands Air Ambulance Charity

Play a lead role in the financial future of one of the UK's most advanced pre-hospital critical care charities.

When someone suffers a traumatic injury or life‑threatening medical emergency, every second matters. Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) exists to save lives by saving time - bringing hospital‑level intervention directly to scenes of critical need across six counties, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For more than three decades, our clinicians have delivered treatments usually only found inside an A&E department: pre‑hospital emergency anaesthesia, advanced drugs, surgical interventions, and rapid blood transfusion. Every mission we fly - more than 80,000 since our formation - is funded entirely by public generosity. We receive no NHS or Government funding. Our ability to save lives depends on the strength, foresight and resilience of our finances.

We are now entering a pivotal phase. We are diversifying our income model, expanding clinical training programmes, developing new commercial opportunities, and deepening our partnerships with NHS Trusts. As Finance Director, you will play a central role in shaping this next chapter – ensuring that our lifesaving work remains financially sustainable, strategic, and ready for what the future demands.

Why this role matters

Behind every rapid-response helicopter launch is a complex, high-trust financial system that must be robust, transparent and agile. The external environment remains challenging, with income pressures, rising operational costs and changing clinical demand. Against this backdrop, MAAC is committed to strengthening its resilience, investing in data-driven insight, and expanding its impact.

Our ability to continue offering world-class pre-hospital care depends on a financial strategy that protects today’s service while enabling long-term innovation. Working collaboratively with the Board, CEO and Senior Leadership Team, the Finance Director plays a lead role in ensuring that our financial decisions are bold but responsible, that our financial resources are deployed authentically in service of patient need, and that colleagues - from frontline clinicians to volunteers - are supported by stable, assured financial stewardship.

This is a mission-led role of real consequence. You will hold a unique vantage point across the entire organisation: playing a lead role in shaping financial strategy, ensuring robust financial stewardship and cost management, safeguarding financial risk, and enabling confident, evidence-based financial decision-making at executive and Board level.

Your contribution

· Provide strategic financial leadership that strengthens resilience, supports growth and ensures MAAC is future-ready.

· Build trusted relationships across the Board, Executive, Senior Leadership Team and clinical leaders - becoming a critical partner in financial organisational planning. 

· Lead Group-wide financial stewardship across charity and trading operations, securing robust controls and transparent reporting. Ensure financial systems, processes and controls remain best-in-class, enabling clarity, accountability and operational confidence.

· Steward financial risk and compliance, including oversight of the investment portfolio, reserves strategy and financial statutory obligations.

· Report to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board of Trustees to provide assurance that financial controls are adequate, appropriate and operating effectively – supporting Trustees in carrying out their governance responsibilities.

· Play a lead role in shaping our long-term financial plan, working collaboratively to manage costs and grow income through innovation and diversification.

· Model values-led leadership, supporting the development, wellbeing and capability of a high-performing Finance team.

What you will help shape

· A financially confident organisation that is able to meet changing clinical demand with innovation and resilience.

· A sustainable, diversified income base that protects our independence and reflects our bold ambitions.

· Strong evidence-led decision-making, driven by high-quality financial insight, strategic modelling and scenario planning.

· Continuous improvement in financial stewardship, risk, compliance and transparency.

· An inclusive, collaborative and values-led culture consistent with MAAC’s commitment to dignity, respect and equity.

· The organisation’s future as a national Centre of Excellence for clinical training, underpinned by sound financial investment and planning.

Few roles offer this combination of purpose, complexity and impact. As Finance Director, you will directly support one of the country’s most vital emergency care services - protecting the integrity of today’s operations while building the foundations for the services of tomorrow.

If you are motivated by mission, inspired by challenge and ready to play a defining part in the future of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The role
The Domestic Abuse Prevention All Risk Perpetrator Worker will strive to make contact and work on a one-to-one basis with perpetrators whose victims have been identified through all levels of risk. 

The purpose of this role is to move the perpetrator along the spectrum of awareness; acceptance of impact; desire to change; to voluntary engagement in behavioural change to end the cycle of abuse for children who are victims of domestic abuse. 

The Domestic Abuse Prevention Worker will work with people on: awareness raising and developing motivation to change with people who recognise they are at risk of or are harming their partner (low risk), individual case management and group behavioural change programmes (standard and medium risk), intensive case management aimed at high harm and/or significant recidivist perpetrators. To do this, the Domestic Abuse Prevention worker will work closely with existing agencies as part of a co located multi agency approach. 

The Domestic Abuse Prevention worker will work closely with the victim/survivor IDVA service to review risk, develop safety plans, and improve outcomes for all parties involved. 

The Prevention, Action and Support Team (PAST) provides an intensive case management service for individuals (all genders, 18+) identified by the police as high risk, high harm perpetrators of domestic abuse.  The intervention lasts 8 – 16 weeks, (with potential extensions based on the duration of the perpetrators inclusion in the perpetrator panel cohort).  Cases are referred through a police-led perpetrator panel (e.g., MATAC or DATAC).

PAST’s intensive case management approach balances support, accountability, and disruption to deliver tailored interventions that enhance victim safety, provide perpetrators with opportunity for change – while ensuring they are held accountable for their actions.

About you

You’ll have a deep understanding of the nature of domestic abuse and its effects on clients and children, as well as the reasons behind abusive behaviours towards intimate partners.

Your knowledge extends to the range of statutory and voluntary agencies that clients and their children may encounter, and you are aware of the impact of domestic abuse on children and parenting, including the additional needs of clients from BMER communities. 

You will have experience in working with clients on issues of domestic abuse, providing one-to-one and group support and advice, managing your own workload and administration, and assessing the risk and safety of your clients and those connected to your client.  You will have handled safeguarding disclosures and referrals, and you communicate clearly with a range of people both over the telephone and in person. 

You will be organised, able to use your initiative, and work effectively as part of a multi-service team. Your administrative skills are strong, and you are adept at using a computer to maintain effective systems. 

Flexible and willing to work evenings, you can travel independently. Additionally, you will have an understanding of trauma-informed practices, risk mitigation, and safeguarding. Experience liaising with social workers and other professionals, and in related areas such as substance misuse, child protection, or family support, is desirable. 

Fluency in an additional language and skills in group work are also advantageous. You stay updated with best practices and new initiatives. 

We want you to feel empowered to bring your authentic self to this role, so we encourage flexible working around core hours. We offer an annual continuous Professional Development allowance, generous annual leave entitlement and Birthday leave.

About us

We want to make working at TLC an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
