Check my CVThank you for your interest in becoming Finance Manager at the Vision Foundation.
This is a demanding role but hugely satisfying too, combining responsibilities and ambitions within a tightknit team in a small charity – but a charity that punches well above its weight.
We at the Vision Foundation believe passionately that people living with sight loss should have the same opportunities as anyone else. We strive to ensure London is a city that works for everyone and that avoidable sight loss is prevented. The coronavirus crisis has affected all of us, but we are not affected equally. For blind and partially sighted people - an already isolated, disadvantaged and socially excluded group - the effects have been amplified.
The Vision Foundation is a sector leader in London standing up for the rights and freedoms of people living with sight loss. The charity funds organisations providing front-line projects and services across the capital, and works collaboratively through researching, building capacity, funding and investing, and advocacy. Perhaps unusually for a foundation, we raise funds for our grantmaking and support through an energetic fundraising team and a small but important retail operation. This role will work with and alongside fundraising and retail to ensure we maximise the income for the charity, to enable us to give as much as we can to benefit blind and partially sighted Londoners.
Our work is more than just providing support. It’s also about amplifying voices to ensure that blind and partially sighted people are heard. And it’s about changing our society and the systems that structure it, by inspiring more people to advocate and take action.
We’ve been going for a hundred years but following a cultural and organisational re-shaping, including a new strategy and rebrand last year, we have many of the characteristics of a start-up. We have energy and drive, we move at pace – and we are still in the early stages of our journey to become the progressive, impact-focused grantmaker that we aspire to be. You can read more about this on our website.
We are looking to recruit an exceptional Finance Manager to run and continually control and improve our Finance function.
The Finance Manager role will be the main finance contact in the organisation and would report to the Director of Finance and Resources. Although there is no immediate requirement for the management of staff, it is possible the role may grow to incorporate supervision of other areas.
The coronavirus context has presented unprecedented challenges for charities, both in the short-term - with the need to respond and adapt at pace – and in the medium to long-term - with the need to ensure we can maintain our activity and see a route through to a sustainable and successful future – which we believe we can.
In a small organisation it is imperative you can work strategically and collaboratively with your colleagues. You will need to be comfortable working in an ambitious organisation with high standards that is still evolving and changing at speed. The role demands a great blend of skills, along with the belief that every blind and partially sighted Londoner should be able to lead their life to the full.
As an equal opportunities employer, the Vision Foundation welcomes applicants from all backgrounds irrespective of race, religion, belief, gender, disability, age or sexual orientation.
Are you up up for this distinctive challenge? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Background information
Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust is the UK's leading charity dedicated to those affected by cervical cancer and cell changes (abnormalities). The charity was established in 1999 by James Maxwell following the death of his wife Jo, aged 40, from cervical cancer.
Since then we have provided advice and support to thousands of women and their families.
We offer a range of online and face-to-face support and information including: information materials, a free helpline, online forum, national and regional support days and an ‘ask the expert’ service. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer amongst young women (under 35) in the UK and Europe.
Two women a day in the UK will die from cervical cancer whilst over 3,000 women are diagnosed each year. In addition, some 220,000 a year are told they may have a cervical abnormality that may require treatment. Thanks to the NHS Cervical Screening and HPV vaccination programmes cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. However, for those affected, the impact of cancer on a woman's life and that of her family cannot be overstated.
This is an exciting time to join the charity. In recent years awareness of our work and cervical cancer has grown significantly with annual income from £288k to £1.8m. The staff team has also significantly grown to 23 enabling us to reach more women than ever before.
