You will bring:

  • Significant senior-level finance leadership experience within the charity or not-for-profit sector.
  • Strong understanding of charity finance, governance, Charity Commission requirements and the Charities SORP framework.
  • Experience leading finance alongside broader central services functions, including HR, IT, Facilities, Compliance and Operations.
  • Experience working closely with Boards, Trustees and senior leadership teams.
  • Strong financial planning, reporting and analytical capability.
  • The ability to balance strategic oversight with a practical, hands-on approach.
  • Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
