Can you ensure strong financial control and accountability while supporting life-saving operations across a global organisation?

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.

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.
