Prospectus is delighted to be supporting Local Trust as they look to appoint a new Head of Finance and Resources into their team. The Head of Finance and Resources actively manages the finances of Local Trust, including the Big Local Trust (an expendable endowment from Local Trust) and is responsible for the monitoring and management of risk and performance, HR, office management, and IT. This will be a full time position with 2-3 days working in their Can Mezzanine office in Borough. This is an exciting time to join the organisation as it drives to strengthen the senior leadership team and ensure continued high performance.

Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund programme which committed £1m to 150 local areas in England. Big Local is one of the most radical and exciting grant programmes ever launched by a major lottery funder. Between 2010 and 2012, the National Lottery Community Fund identified 150 areas that had historically missed out on lottery and other funding. Each of those areas was allocated £1m of Big Local funding. This could be spent in any way they chose, provided residents organised themselves locally to plan and manage that funding, involving the wider community in the decision-making process.

The programme was designed not just to provide funding for projects, but to do so in a way that would build community capacity, confidence and skills in the longer term. To accomplish this, Big Local is bottom-up and community-led; there are no top-down targets or centrally imposed delivery models. The rules, constraints and priorities that define Big Local have been for local people to decide. The timeframe extends over fifteen years, allowing communities to take their time, build confidence and skills, make decisions and deliver change, without the usual pressures to meet end-of-year spend targets or other arbitrary, bureaucratic deadlines.

Over the past three years Local Trust has substantially invested in the finance and the governance and office services team at Local Trust, developing it into a central and integral function, which provides a broad range of support across the whole organisation. This reflects the growth of the organisation during that period, a more active and engaged board and higher levels of spend across the organisation.

The finance function is strong with a highly competent team, which is accompanied by active oversight from the board of trustees and in particular the finance and investment committee. As a spend out endowment it is crucial that we have a clear and deliverable plan for managing the resources available, and that enables the organisation to achieve the strategy.

The successful candidate will be an experience and qualified finance professional with Experience of effectively managing the finances of a large, complex and accountable programme in an environment with multiple stakeholders and customers. You will have experience of developing and using technology to manage funding programmes and complex budgets eg computerised IT packages such as Iris Exchequer. You will have experience of producing charity accounts to SORP and experience of manage facilities, IT and HR. You will have strong communication skills with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders across the organisation.

Interview Date: 24th November
