At Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, we provide specialist care and vital support to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Berkshire and surrounding counties.
It costs £3.4 million each year to maintain our current level of care, with minimal government funding. Every decision we make must balance compassion with sustainability. We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance to help secure our long-term future and develop services in line with demand.
This is more than a finance role. It is an opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a much-loved local charity and ensure we continue reaching every child and family who needs us.

- Present clear, insightful financial reports to the Board of Trustees
- Be responsible for financial controls, systems and governance
You will work closely with the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team, helping to shape the future direction of the organisation.
About You
We are looking for a strategic and values-driven finance leader who brings:
- A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- Significant senior financial leadership experience
- Strong experience in strategic planning, budgeting and financial governance
- The ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-financial audiences
- High levels of integrity, judgement and emotional intelligence
Charity or healthcare experience is welcome but not essential. We are equally interested in candidates from commercial or public sector backgrounds who are motivated to apply their expertise in a purpose-driven environment.
Why Join Us?
- Work in a beautiful, purpose-built hospice in Maidenhead
- Generous annual leave, including your birthday off and additional “Alexander Days”

- Senior programme or operational leadership experience
- Strong organisational and people management capability
- Experience building systems and structures in growing organisations
- A collaborative, values-driven leadership style
- Deep alignment with Symphony Collective’s mission and communities

The Trustees of John Wesley’s New Room seek an Executive Director to lead the organisation into the next exciting phase of its development. This role will suit someone who is a generalist, comfortable turning their hand to a variety of tasks and is equally happy contributing at a board meeting or engaging with visitors in the chapel. Most importantly, we are looking for someone with excellent leadership and interpersonal skills who can lead the staff and volunteers with confidence, cultivate a positive working culture, develop relationships with a variety of stakeholders and provide strategic leadership for the next phase of John Wesley’s New Room.
Our small staff team has undergone significant change in the past year to align with the future needs of the organisation. The Trustees expect this to continue in support of the newly refreshed strategy which will see a greater role for JWNR nationally and internationally, as well as playing an increasing role in the new Broadmead community following the anticipated redevelopment works in the local area, from retail to a more mixed residential and leisure offering. Having finalised a vision, we are looking for someone to lead the organisation through this change, laying a solid foundation on a practical and cultural level to then build upon for the future, creating more links with local communities as well as the wider Methodist church.
John Wesley’s New Room is the oldest Methodist building in the world (Grade I listed) and is a small but busy place where no two days are the same. Offering a chapel, museum and cafe by day, we also have meetings rooms and event spaces for hire, and welcome visitors both local and international on a regular basis. An important piece of Bristol’s history, the New Room is where Methodism started and the museum and collection tell the story of John Wesley. In addition, we manage a second museum Charles Wesley’s House, a short walk from the main site, which is mainly used for tour groups.
