Director of Finance

c.£85k pa | Derby, hybrid

Campbell Tickell are proud to be recruiting to the role of Director of Finance at YMCA Derbyshire.

Founded in 1847, YMCA Derbyshire is a charity that supports children, young people and communities across Derby and Derbyshire through a wide range of integrated services. We provide housing and supported accommodation for around 270 people each night, alongside pathways that help individuals move toward independent living.

Our work spans lifelong learning provision including our vocational college, employability programmes, school-based childcare, early years provision,

youth and community programmes, health and wellbeing activities, and vital services through our poverty relief programmes. We are a strong, stable and well-led organisation with a clear sense of purpose, and an equally clear belief that we can do so much more for the young people and communities we serve. We’re now looking for a new Director of Finance who can help us continue to unlock that potential.

We have grown considerably in size as an organisation in the last five years and we retain a clear focus on continuing that momentum to expand our provision and invest to strengthen our long-term financial sustainability. We are seeking a

senior finance leader who can support sustainable progress while balancing risk and resource constraints as we build more resilient financial foundations. The Director of Finance will play a critical leadership role in helping us address these challenges and seize emerging opportunities.

This is not a routine finance leadership role. We are looking for someone who can bring fresh thinking, someone who is not only technically strong, but also creative, forward-looking, and who brings an entrepreneurial flair to help us identify and seize opportunities as we grow the organisation. Above all, we are

looking for a leader with emotional intelligence, strong judgement, and the ability to build trusted relationships across a complex organisation. You will bring experience in one or more of the housing, charity, or education

sectors and while we expect you will already be operating at Finance Director level, we remain open to exceptional candidates who can demonstrate the capability to step into this level of responsibility.

This is a significant leadership opportunity with considerable

scope to have a big impact at an organisation with strong foundations, committed colleagues, an excellent reputation and strong networks in Derby and Derbyshire. If you’re energised by possibility, motivated by purpose, and ready to help us take bold steps forward, we’d love to hear from you. Join us, and help lead the next chapter of YMCA Derbyshire’s story.
