Ten Ten Resources is an educational organisation that nurtures spiritual growth, personal development and social responsibility by sharing inspiring, creative content through a Catholic lens. We are seeking a Head of Finance to lead on ensuring the financial health, operational effectiveness and organisational sustainability of the company.
As a senior leader, you will integrate finance, systems and people management so that we can deliver high-quality programmes in alignment with our Catholic mission and values. You will also be a key member of the Leadership Team, contributing to organisational strategy, planning and decision-making.
We’re a small team, so this role involves operational responsibilities as well as strategic leadership and oversight. We’re also a fully remote organisation, so we’re looking for someone who thrives in a remote working environment, who is highly organised, people-focused, and committed to excellence in service. You will also play an important role in helping us embed our emerging employee-owned culture as we move through transition in 2026.
If you’re a strong financial leader with operational leadership experience in a charity, SME, education or mission-driven organisation and feel inspired by Ten Ten’s mission to support Catholic education, we’d love to hear from you.
