About Us

FORCE Cancer Charity is an Exeter-based organisation supporting people affected by cancer across our region. Each year, we work with hundreds of local individuals and families, offering guidance, tailored support, and a trusted place to turn during an incredibly challenging time.
Our team is warm, supportive, and dedicated to ensuring that everyone facing cancer in our community receives the help, compassion and understanding they deserve.

We’re entering an exciting phase of development, and we’re looking for a Finance Department Manager to help strengthen and evolve the systems that underpin our work.

The Role

Reporting to the Chief Finance Officer, you’ll be responsible for the charity’s day-to-day financial and operational management. You’ll lead and develop a dedicated team, oversee robust financial processes, and play a key role in improving systems — including contributing to the implementation of a new fundraising database that will support sustainable income generation.

This is a part-time, primarily office-based role offering a varied and hands-on remit, combining financial leadership with operational oversight and the opportunity to shape how the organisation works as we grow. For the right person, there is scope to take on additional responsibilities and progress within the organisation over time.

We’re looking for someone with strong financial expertise, excellent organisational and IT skills, and the ability to communicate clearly with colleagues across the charity. Previous charity sector experience is welcomed but not essential. Most importantly, you’ll share our commitment to making a difference for people facing cancer.

If you’re motivated by meaningful work and want to use your skills to support a cause that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.

This role offers the benefits of a permanent NHS contract, and the recruitment process is therefore completed through the NHS Career Gateway. For full details of key responsibilities and person specification, please see the attached job description and follow the recruitment platform link.
