At Survivors’ Network, we view people accessing our services as survivors, rather than victims. This does not ignore an individual’s experience of victimhood, but rather defines the basis upon which we begin all interactions with service users.

You will be adept at managing all aspects of finance, including financial reporting and providing management reporting tools. Your skills in analysing and interpreting financial data will be crucial in forecasting and leading on budgets. Additionally, you will have a proven track record in developing strategic business plans.
We are seeking someone passionate about making a difference to survivors, who stands by our vision, mission and values and is keen to learn more about feminist leadership and embedding intersectional feminist principles. We love them and hope you do too.
We are committed to flexible working, however, we do need our Head of Finance to attend a quarterly board meeting for about half an hour on a Thursday evening.
