About Alexandra Rose Charity
We should all be able to eat healthy food. But right now, healthy options cost more than twice as much as junk food. It’s getting harder and harder for people to put good food on the table. In fact, the poorest fifth of UK households would need to spend 50% of their disposable income to eat the UK Government’s recommended healthy diet. Access to a choice of high quality, culturally appropriate fruit & veg is an essential building block for our mental and physical health. We need to put this right.
We’re on a mission to give people access to their choice of fresh fruit & veg, in the heart of their community. At Alexandra Rose, we are proud to deliver a mix of practical, place-based projects and national advocacy to shape a fairer future, where everyone can afford and enjoy fresh fruit & veg with dignity.
If this aligns with how you see the world, and you want to use your skills and experience to help us build towards it, you’ll feel at home here.

Women’s Inclusive Team is a community-led charity in Tower Hamlets. We work with women, children, young people and families, particularly those from Black, Asian and minoritised communities, to improve wellbeing, widen opportunities and strengthen local voices.
About the role
We are looking for an experienced Finance and Fundraising Manager to join our Senior Management Team.
This is a senior, hands-on role combining charity finance with fundraising and income development. You will lead the finance function, strengthen controls and provide clear information to the CEO, trustees and senior managers.
You will also help grow and diversify income by managing WIT’s funding pipeline, identifying opportunities and contributing to strong applications, tenders, budgets and financial narratives.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the finance function using QuickBooks and Excel.
- Produce management accounts, cash-flow forecasts, budgets and reforecasts.
- Strengthen reconciliations, journals, salary allocations, debtor monitoring and year-end processes.
- Maintain a central funding pipeline covering needs, opportunities, deadlines and gaps.
- Lead or contribute to funding applications, tenders, contracts and partnership bids.
- Prepare budgets, financial narratives and full-cost recovery calculations.
- Build relationships with funders, commissioners and corporate partners.
- Oversee grant and contract finances, reporting deadlines and audit trails.
- Advise the CEO, trustees, managers and budget holders.
- Line manage the Finance Assistant and improve systems and workflows.
About you
You will have:
- Strong charity finance experience, including management accounts, cash-flow forecasting, budgeting, restricted funds and financial controls.
- Experience of month-end processes, reconciliations and debtor management.
- A successful fundraising track record across grants, tenders, commissioned contracts or partnership bids.
- Experience managing a funding pipeline.
- Confidence using QuickBooks and Excel.
- Knowledge of grant management, funder reporting and audit requirements.
- The ability to explain financial information clearly.
- Strong organisational, collaborative and line-management skills.
You do not need to have held an identical combined role, but you must show strong charity finance expertise alongside credible fundraising and income-development experience.
What we offer
Flexible part-time hours, hybrid working, a place on WIT’s Senior Management Team and the opportunity to help shape the future of a values-led community charity.

The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) is partnering with Robertson Bell on a retained basis to recruit a Director of Finance on a permanent basis. This is a rare opportunity to join a globally influential organisation at a pivotal point in its growth, leading the transformation of the finance function whilst helping drive the organisation's ambitious mission to eliminate avoidable sight loss worldwide.
This is far more than a traditional Finance Director role. The successful candidate will inherit a finance function ready for transformation, with the full backing of an ambitious Senior Leadership Team committed to investing in modern systems, stronger processes and strategic financial leadership. It is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious finance leader looking to make their first move into a Director position, whilst remaining close to the operational detail and leading meaningful organisational change.
The role
- Partner with the Deputy CEO and Senior Leadership Team to shape the organisation's financial strategy and support the delivery of its ambitious three-year strategic plan.
- Lead the transformation of the finance function, moving from manual, spreadsheet-led reporting to streamlined systems, efficient processes and insightful business partnering.
- Oversee budgeting, forecasting and financial planning, including scenario modelling to support significant organisational growth and major international funding opportunities.
- Deliver high-quality management reporting for the Executive Team, Finance & Audit Committee, Board of Trustees and major international funders.
- Lead the production of statutory accounts, oversee the annual audit process and ensure full compliance with Charity Commission, Companies House and tax requirements.
- Develop robust financial controls, policies and governance frameworks that support a growing international charity.
- Manage treasury activities, cashflow and foreign currency exposure across an increasingly global operation.
- Build strong relationships with budget holders across the organisation, embedding a proactive and commercially minded finance business partnering culture.
- Lead, develop and mentor a small finance team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
- Play a key leadership role in organisational decision-making, helping ensure finance is viewed as an enabling function that supports innovation and impact.
The organisation
The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness is the only global alliance dedicated to eliminating the world's avoidable vision crisis. Representing NGOs, professional associations, hospitals, academic institutions, corporations and philanthropies, IAPB works to influence policy, mobilise investment and strengthen health systems across the world.
The organisation has experienced significant growth in recent years, expanding to over 50 staff and securing substantial new investment to support its ambitious global agenda. This includes convening the inaugural Global Summit for Eye Health in November 2026, bringing together heads of government, multilateral organisations and major funders to accelerate progress towards ending avoidable sight loss for the 1.1 billion people currently living without access to the eye care they need.
With strong leadership, genuine investment in organisational development and a culture built around being ambitious, collaborative, inclusive and strategic, IAPB offers an outstanding opportunity to shape both the finance function and the future direction of the organisation.
Essential criteria
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
- Experience working within an international charity.
- Strong understanding of charity finance, including restricted funding, grant reporting and Charity SORP.
- Demonstrable experience producing high-quality financial reporting, budgeting and statutory accounts.
- Experience improving financial systems, controls and reporting processes.
- Proven ability to build effective relationships with senior stakeholders, trustees and non-finance colleagues.
- Strong leadership skills, with experience developing and supporting finance teams.
