Background to the job: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in working age adults. Survivors of brain injury can live with a range of difficulties affecting their physical and cognitive functioning. Living with a brain injury can result in social isolation, mental health problems, difficulties with family relationships and unemployment.

Headway SELNWK is a medium size charity, over thirty years old, that supports people affected by ABI. We provide support services across SE London and North West Kent in the community and at our day service. Most of our members’ support is funded by social services or the NHS. Whilst we want to maximise this funding where possible, we also want to develop models of support that are not dependent upon statutory funding.

Headway has well established links with local hospitals notably with the Major Trauma Centre at Kings’ College Hospital.  We foster active links with a range of community providers including neurological rehabilitation and social work teams and other Third Sector organisations.

Headway SELNWK is entering a phase of new development and is looking to recruit an outstanding Director of Operations and Finance to oversee the development of its finance, human resources and IT processes. This person will combine technical skills in one or more of these areas with an evident passion for the charity’s mission to improve outcomes for people affected by ABI.

The Director of Operations and Finance will be responsible for overseeing the development of the charity’s finance, human resources and IT, ensuring that systems are effective and help to drive the charity’s mission. With technical skills in one or more of these areas, they will identify what is already working well and what could be improved, before drawing up short-, medium- and long-term priorities to improve the charity’s operations. As well as applying their technical skills, this will also require excellent project management, including the management of a small Operations team. The Director of Operations and Finance will enjoy working across a range of projects and will be able to strike the right balance between leading tasks themselves and working with their team and with external partners. As well as focusing on the immediate needs of the charity, part of the Director of Operations and Finance's remit will include laying the foundations for the capabilities that will be needed in the future as the charity grows. In particular, we want to implement our fundraising strategy with a view to eventually developing a fundraising team.

The ideal candidate will not necessarily have all of the required and desired characteristics, though they will certainly have real strengths in some of these areas. What is most important is that they will have a commitment to the charity’s mission and the tenacity and drive to achieve to very high standards. They will demonstrate a genuine openness to feedback and continuing improvement and will seek to learn from those within the organisation and its wider network of partners.

Responsibilities

While not exhaustive, the following list of responsibilities gives a comprehensive overview of the role:

• Senior leadership within the charity, feeding into strategic planning and decision-making by the charity’s Board and Executive
  • Working with the Director of Strategy and Business Development to ensure the operations structures of the charity can deliver its strategy
  • Working across the charity to develop systems and processes that are effective at all levels

This is a fantastic role for a qualified auditor seeking a first or second move.

King's College London is one of the top 10 UK universities in the world (QS World University Rankings, 2018/19), and is also one of England’s oldest and most prestigious institutions. King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research.

Having recently implemented a new finance system, King’s College London (KCL) are looking to recruit a recently qualified accountant (CCAB or equivalent) into the role of Deputy Financial Accountant to work with the Financial Accountant in implementing a new financial control environment to make best use of this system.

The role holder will have a significant responsibility for the preparation of the university’s consolidated and subsidiary financial statements (close to £1bn annual turnover) and will aid the Financial Accountant in designing and implementing an updated financial control structure and processes.

This will be a challenging role suitable for someone with a technical accounting background and strong problem-solving skills, ideally from an audit background. The role will often require designing new approaches/solutions and leading on projects.
