We are looking for our new Financial Controller: someone who takes pride in running an excellent finance operation and who enjoys being closely involved in the life of a college.
This is a senior role at the heart of the College’s professional services team. Reporting to the Treasurer, the Financial Controller leads the College’s finance function and ensures the delivery of high-quality financial management, reporting and control across the organisation.
We are looking for someone with substantial experience of running a highly effective finance operation, but who is also curious and interested in the wider context of the organisation they support. College life is varied and dynamic, and the finance team plays an important role in supporting activity across academic, operational and commercial areas of the College.
You will be a key member of the Treasurer’s senior management team and the operational lead for the College’s finance function. Senior colleagues across the College look to the Financial Controller for sound financial advice as they develop plans and initiatives, and the role provides an opportunity to contribute to decision-making across a wide range of activities.
You will lead a finance and payroll team of nine staff (6 FTE) and will be responsible for the integrity of the College’s financial reporting, control environment and systems. The role also involves working closely with the Governing Body and its committees, providing clear and insightful financial information that supports effective governance and stewardship of the College’s resources.
Just as important as technical expertise is how we work together. Our finance team is collaborative, supportive and collegiate in the best sense of the word. We take pride in delivering high-quality work, but we also value openness, mutual support and a willingness to help colleagues across the College navigate financial matters. We are looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, working constructively with others and contributing positively to the culture of the team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional who enjoys combining strong financial management with meaningful involvement in the life of an institution.

As the operational lead for day-to-day finance, you’ll ensure robust financial controls, deliver accurate and timely reporting, and provide clear, strategic insight that empowers leaders across the organisation. Working closely with the Director of Finance, you will be a key voice in safeguarding financial health and driving forward our mission.
As a fully qualified accountant, you will lead a high-performing finance function, bringing expertise across budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and analysis. You will oversee and continually improve financial systems and processes, ensuring they are efficient, compliant, and fit for a growing organisation with ambitious goals. Your leadership will help ensure long-term sustainability and support informed decision-making at every level.

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.
As UK-Med continues to grow and expand its global humanitarian response, we are strengthening our financial delivery in the field to ensure it remains robust, compliant, and responsive in complex and fast-paced environments. In this context, the Roving Finance Manager will play a pivotal role in leading financial management across our emergency responses through direct deployment.
You will take responsibility for the day-to-day financial management of international deployments, ensuring strong financial control, accurate reporting, and compliance with donor and organisational requirements in-country. Acting as the lead finance focal point within responses, you will work closely with Team Leads and field teams to support decision-making and ensure resources are managed effectively in high-pressure environments.
Alongside operational financial management, you will ensure that financial processes, systems, and controls are implemented and maintained in-country, strengthening compliance and accountability across responses. You will support field teams through training and guidance, ensuring that financial procedures are understood and consistently applied in challenging contexts.
This role will work closely with the Head of Finance (International), Operations, HR, and programme teams, acting as the key link between HQ and field finance. When not on deployment, you will contribute to supporting ongoing responses and strengthening financial processes across UK-Med’s international operations.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced finance professional who thrives in dynamic environments, is comfortable working hands-on in the field, and is motivated by supporting life-saving humanitarian operations. Your work will play a key role in ensuring UK-Med’s financial integrity and accountability where it matters most — on the ground.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits, a collaborative environment, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through humanitarian work. UK-Med is an ambitious and expanding organisation, and this role offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the delivery of critical healthcare in crisis settings.
