The Finance and Funds Business Partner role is a fantastic opportunity for an individual looking to work for a fast moving, growing organisation. Everything we do is geared to supporting the renowned Christie NHS Foundation Trust to ensure cancer patients receive the highest level of treatment and care and have access to world leading research and technology, ensuring they have the best possible experience.

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic self-starter to support the Charity Financial Controller with:

- The financial management of the Charity’s funds and individually funded projects; and

- The financial control and governance of The Christie Charity group, particularly its two wholly owned subsidiaries (The Christie Trading Company Limited and Northern Pathology Developments Limited).

You will be joining The Christie Charity at an exciting time as we seek to diversify the Charity’s income streams through use of innovative social investments and strategic commercial ventures. This position provides an excellent opportunity to develop broader charity and commercial finance experience, with support from senior finance colleagues.

Financial Management

In relation to the financial management of the Charity’s funds, you will ensure that Individual Named Funds, containing designated funds, are utilised in accordance with their Terms of Reference. In relation to the financial management of individually funded projects, you will monitor spend against budgets through accountability mechanisms agreed with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust finance team. The postholder will be an integral part of the Charity finance team and partake in the annual budget setting process to the extent budgets relate to the Charity’s Individual Named Funds or individually funded projects.

As part of your role in the financial management of individually funded projects, you will act as a finance business partner to the broader Charity. You will be integral in liaising with the Charity’s newly appointed Grants Manager to ensure they are aware of new projects.  

Financial control and governance

You will play an important role in supporting robust financial control across the Charity group, with particular responsibility for the routine financial management and reporting of its two wholly owned subsidiaries: The Christie Trading Company Limited and Northern Pathology Developments Limited. This is a hands-on role, working under the direction of the Charity Financial Controller, to help maintain accurate financial information and strong governance across both charitable and commercial operations.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, supporting budget preparation and monitoring, completing routine month-end activities, preparing information for quarterly tax returns, and supporting the preparation of statutory accounts for both subsidiaries. You will also support the Charity Financial Controller in maintaining effective financial controls across the Charity’s operations as required.

Additional information

The Finance and Funds Business Partner is a well-established role in the Charity. The successful applicant will be provided on the job training to fulfil this role by the previous postholder who now holds the role of Charity Financial Controller in the organisation.

In the immediate term, day-to-day financial transaction processing will continue to be delivered by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, therefore, the postholder will be expected to work closely and collaboratively with their finance team to ensure seamless operations and continuity across the Charity group. These responsibilities are expected to transition in full to The Christie Charity by 31 December 2026.

This post would suit an individual with a solid grounding in finance who enjoys working in a dynamic, evolving environment, where responsibilities may shift in response to organisational priorities. The postholder will be expected to work with a degree of autonomy within agreed processes, demonstrating flexibility and initiative while seeking guidance on complex or non-routine matters.

The postholder will also provide support to the Charity Financial Controller on an ad-hoc basis as required and provide cover for agreed routine responsibilities where appropriate.
