About us

Every child deserves the opportunity to survive, thrive and reach their full potential. Kentown Africa Foundation is a UK-based grant-making foundation dedicated to making that a reality for children across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Foundation provides funding to organisations, partnerships and innovative programmes that strengthen health systems, improve access to quality healthcare and create sustainable, lasting change.

Its approach is deliberately collaborative and locally led, working with trusted partners, healthcare professionals, researchers and community organisations to support evidence-based interventions and stronger healthcare systems for the future.

This is a broad and influential finance role, reporting directly to the CEO and forming part of the Senior Management Team.

The Head of Finance and Operations will take overall responsibility for the finance function, providing high-quality financial information, strong financial controls and effective financial governance, while also playing an important role in the organisation's wider operations.

You will be a trusted adviser to the CEO and Board, helping to shape financial strategy, budgets and forecasts and providing the financial insight needed to support grant-making decisions.

A particularly interesting aspect of the role is the grant finance oversight.

We are looking for a qualified accountant or an accountant qualified by experience who combines strong technical finance expertise with a genuinely strategic and hands-on approach.

You are likely to have senior finance experience within a charity, grant-making organisation, international development organisation or another complex not-for-profit environment, although relevant experience from other sectors will also be considered.

You will bring:

• Strong financial management, analysis and strategic planning skills
• Experience of budgeting, forecasting and financial risk management
• Experience preparing statutory accounts, ideally within the charity sector and under Charity SORP
• Experience of financial governance and reporting to Boards or senior stakeholders
• The ability to critically evaluate existing processes and identify improvements
• Strong Excel skills and experience with financial systems – ideally QuickBooks
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work confidently with both financial and non-financial stakeholders
• High levels of accuracy, integrity and attention to detail

Above all, this role would suit someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative organisation, is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and wants their financial expertise to have a meaningful impact.

What’s on offer?

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing international philanthropic organisation at an important point in its development.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Shape the finance function of a growing and ambitious charity
• Work closely with the CEO, Senior Management Team and Board
• Have a genuine influence on financial strategy, governance and organisational development
• Play a key role in ensuring grant funding is managed effectively and delivers maximum impact
• Work alongside experienced partners, healthcare professionals and organisations working to improve children's healthcare
• Enjoy flexible remote working, with 22.5 hours per week over 3–4 days
• Benefit from a generous leave policy
• Receive an enhanced pension scheme and employee benefits
• Have opportunities for travel where applicable

If you are an experienced finance professional looking for a flexible, genuinely influential part-time role and want to use your expertise to support an organisation with a clear and meaningful purpose, we would love to hear from you.
