Fixed Term Maternity Cover – 6 Months Contract

Closing date: Monday 16th December 2019

Interviews: Wednesday 18th / Thursday 19th December 2019

We are now looking for someone exceptional to lead our Finance, Procurement and Performance and Effectiveness teams; who shares our values of fairness, dignity and respect and can work with us to ensure our ambitious vision becomes a reality. A bold and inspiring leader, you will be able to drive delivery in a challenging financial environment, ensuring that we deliver within budget and on time. Part of our Executive Leadership Team, you will oversee our approach to finance, procurement, corporate performance reporting and risk management, whilst using your expertise to influence our corporate decision making.

We are less concerned about where you are now than with where you can take us. You will be a CCAB or CIMA qualified accountant, with considerable post-qualification experience of financial management within a dynamic environment of comparable scale and complexity. You will have proven experience of implementing transformation programmes across multiple functional areas and will have a deep knowledge of best practice in finance and procurement and its critical role in driving corporate performance. 

As a senior leader, you will need outstanding people management skills and proven experience of motivating, inspiring and empowering large, multi-functional teams, whilst creating an inclusive environment of continuous improvement. Politically astute, you will be a sophisticated communicator with the capacity to influence and work collaboratively with stakeholders at all levels, within and outside the Commission.

In return we offer the opportunity to play a key role in shaping our future when our work matters more than ever. If you are excited by this prospect please 

We’re looking for someone with a passion for campaigning to join us for an initial 12 month fixed-term contract to take our advocacy work to the next level.

As the only UK charity for people affected by all lung and respiratory disease – from mild asthma through to lung cancer – the British Lung Foundation (BLF) is here for every one of them. We are leading the fight against lung disease by providing support, funding vital research, and campaigning for better prevention, treatment and care. We provide hope, help and a voice for every one of them.

1 in 5 of us have been diagnosed with a lung condition. Our country’s polluted air makes life harder for them and puts our health at risk.

You’ll be working across the digital and policy and public affairs teams to deliver digital advocacy campaign strategies aimed at influencing politicians to clean up our air and improve services for people living with a lung condition. Most importantly, you’ll work directly with our grassroots campaigners and patients to give them the tools they need to campaign for change in their local areas. The role supports campaigners across the UK so the role can be based at our London, Glasgow or Cardiff Office.

You’ll need experience of working with advocacy software, campaigning tools and social media and email campaigning. That could be from another charity, an agency, or somewhere else entirely! You’ll have excellent writing and editing kills, and you’ll know how to craft a campaign message to get people engaged. You’ll have a good idea of how to influence decision makers, from city leaders up to government ministers.

Above all, we’re looking for someone creative and innovative who can help us come up with new ways to campaign and influence effectively. If you get the job, you’ll be contributing to big campaigns that have the potential to really transform all our lung health.

As well as a competitive salary you can enjoy a range of benefits including our cycle to-work scheme, option to work flexibly (including working from home, compressed hours and flexi-time), interest-free annual season travelcard loan, 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time employees), pension scheme and much more.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to an organisation committed to supporting everyone whose lives are changed by lung disease.
