This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, forward‑thinking finance professional who wants to make a meaningful impact - both in strengthening financial performance and in supporting a mission that transforms lives.
As we journey towards our vision to bring fulness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face, we’re looking for a motivated and mission-driven individual to join our team as Finance Manager.
The Finance Manager will play a central role in shaping the financial strength and future growth of the charity. As the operational lead for day-to-day finance, you’ll ensure robust financial controls, deliver accurate and timely reporting, and provide clear, strategic insight that empowers leaders across the organisation. Working closely with the Director of Finance, you will be a key voice in safeguarding financial health and driving forward our mission.
As a fully qualified accountant, you will lead a high-performing finance function, bringing expertise across budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and analysis. You will oversee and continually improve financial systems and processes, ensuring they are efficient, compliant, and fit for a growing organisation with ambitious goals. Your leadership will help ensure long-term sustainability and support informed decision-making at every level.
Beyond core financial management, this role offers the opportunity to shape broader organisational development. The Finance Manager will work closely with TLG’s commercial subsidiaries - Hope Park Business Centres and Hope Park Workspaces (Salford Quays) - providing financial oversight, analysis, and strategic advice to help these ventures thrive. The success of these income‑generating enterprises plays a key role in funding and expanding the charity’s work with children, young people, and families.
TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.
