Finance Manager / Director - Cardiff - £36,000 - £45,000 DOE

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales help 500–600 people a year rebuild their lives after acquired brain injury (ABI). As demand grows, they're looking for a Finance Manager / Director to take charge of the back office — finance, payroll and systems — so their small senior team can spend more time where it matters most.

This isn't a desk-bound manager's or director's post. It's a hands-on role at the centre of a small, agile charity. You'll own the budget, run payroll, keep the numbers straight, and become the third senior decision-maker who can hold things together when it counts. You'll report directly to the CEO and line-manage two administrators.

You don't need a charity background, and you don't need to be a qualified accountant. What matters is genuine confidence with financial detail, the ability to pick up new systems fast, and the judgement to take real responsibility.

Full details of the role, what to expect from the process, and how to apply are in our candidate brief:

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a central role helping Switchback achieve our aims of reaching more young men while inspiring change across the justice system and beyond.

The right candidate will have great strategic judgement, proven financial and business acumen, practical knowledge of operations and good governance, and a strong understanding of creating and leading high-performing teams.

You will have a collaborative approach to working with colleagues and trustees, enjoying getting stuck into the day-to-day business of running a growing charity, as well as the ability to bring in new external partnerships and contractual relationships that serve our commitment to providing real opportunities for our Trainees.

You will be driven to achieve great value for money and use smart processes to enable others to do their best work for a vital social cause.

As well as technical expertise, this role acts as a key sounding board for the CEO and Leadership Team, so you’ll also bring excellent listening skills and the confidence to act as a thinking partner across both strategic and operational issues.

Finance isn't just about numbers. It's about making change possible.

At Bond, we believe a more just and equitable world is possible.

As the UK network for organisations working in international development, we bring together more than 300 civil society organisations united by a shared ambition: to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice around the world. We champion the sector, influence policy, strengthen organisations and create the connections that enable our members to achieve greater impact together.

International development is changing.

Funding is becoming more complex. Expectations are growing. Organisations are navigating increasing uncertainty while responding to global crises that demand collaboration, innovation and resilience.

That is why we're looking for an exceptional Director of Finance & Resources.

This is a rare opportunity to join our Senior Management Team and help shape the future of Bond at a pivotal moment in our journey.

A leadership role with purpose

As our Director of Finance & Resources, you'll do far more than lead finance.

You'll help ensure Bond remains financially resilient, operationally strong and strategically focused so that we can continue supporting the organisations working to create lasting global change.

Working closely with our CEO, Trustees and senior colleagues, you'll provide the financial leadership, organisational insight and strategic challenge that enables confident decision-making across the organisation.

You'll oversee Finance, Planning, Operations, HR and IT, ensuring the systems, people and financial governance behind our work are as strong as the mission we exist to serve.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead:

• Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
• Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
• Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
• Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
• Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
• Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
• Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
• Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.

This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
• Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
• Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
• Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.

Why Bond?

Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.

You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.

Alongside meaningful work, we offer:

• Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
• 7% employer pension contribution.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
• A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.

Join us

This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.

We are partnering exclusively with Bryony Thomas at Allen Lane. For an informal conversation about the role, get in touch via the agency website.

Our Interim Executive Director will lead JustMoney Movement into the next chapter of our exciting story. The primary focus for the role will be to develop and implement a sustainable future strategy, while providing transitional leadership. 

The JustMoney Movement is a small organisation with a big vision. We are passionate about the role Christians and churches can play in bringing about an economy that works for people and planet.We have a vision of a fairer, greener future, and we believe money is integral to shaping that future. As Christians we believe our use of money should flow from our faith and values such as justice, compassion, the dignity of all, and the importance of caring for creation.  Our current strategic priority is to increase the reach, depth and diversity of engagement of Christian individuals, congregations and networks in the UK with the JustMoney Movement, in order to have a meaningful impact on policy and practice for a fairer, greener future.

We are living in turbulent times where we face interconnected, systemic crises in inequality, nature and the climate, driven by our financial and economic system. We believe our movement building approach, technical expertise, and wide range of collaborations across church, other faith and secular groups, enable us to play a vital role in confronting these crises.

At the same time, small charities face unprecedented challenges at this current moment, and require bold and innovative approaches in order to navigate this context. We are looking for an Interim Executive Director to help us build on this legacy, to secure a sustainable long-term future, while remaining agile and able to seize opportunities as they arise.The role will need to establish a sustainable future strategy and develop our funding strategy, while overseeing the delivery of our current workplan and ensuring sound governance of the charity.

Contract: 6 to12 months

There is the possibility of a permanent role becoming available at the end of the Interim Executive Director role appointment, subject to funding.

Given the nature of the role, we are very open to discussions with the right candidate to identify mutually acceptable arrangements for the appointment.
