With a robust network comprising over 60 national partners and 40 regional and global coalitions, we strive to dismantle oppressive systems and rebalance power dynamics. Our approach centers on transforming the feminist strategic litigation landscape, breaking down legal barriers, and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities within the legal sphere.
At the heart of our strategy lies an intersectional lens, guiding our legal interventions to secure the rights of women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals. Our core focus areas include gender and reproductive justice, particularly advocating for safe and dignified access to abortion and combating gender-based violence. Recognizing the interconnectedness of climate and racial justice with sexual and reproductive rights, we integrate these perspectives into our advocacy efforts.

- Leading homelessness charity is looking for a CFO
- Great opportunity to join an organisation at a time of transformation
About Our Client
St Mungo's is a leading homelessness charity with national influence. We work in partnership with local authorities, health colleagues and communities, with a vision of ending homelessness and rebuilding lives.
Homelessness is getting worse. Close to 4,000 people are sleeping rough across England every night, and almost 80,000 households are homeless or at risk of it. In this context, our services are needed more than ever, yet local authority funding is shrinking and the lack of affordable and appropriate housing is stark.
As a homelessness charity and housing association our clients are at the heart of what we do. Our focus is on providing the best, individualised support we can to help people away from the streets and to recover from homelessness, for good. And we use what we see on the ground to influence and push for changes in government policies that support and impact people experiencing homelessness.
For over 50 years, St Mungo's has been at the forefront of efforts to tackle homelessness. Each night our outreach teams go out to help people sleeping rough to move away from the streets. Through approximately 200 services across London, the Southeast and Southwest of England, we support almost 30,000 people each year and provide a bed to around 3,000 people each night.
Job Description
St Mungo's is looking for a new CFO to join our Executive Team. The role will be responsible for;
- Working closely with the rest of the Executive Team and the Board to contribute to the strategic leadership of the organisation, playing a crucial role providing financial and governance expertise and challenge.
- Leading, motivating and developing a performance-led team.
- Managing the finance function to deliver robust financial controls, improving liquidity and mitigating the risk for St Mungo's.
- Designing, implementing and supporting the highest quality governance and technology services for the organisation.
- Ensuring the organisation is resourced with the appropriate skills, capabilities, systems and processes to deliver the strategies that are put in place by the Executive.
The Successful Applicant
You will be a CCAB qualified accountant who has previously held executive or senior leadership roles. Ideally you will have worked in social housing or the charity sector, with experience leading multi-functional teams and knowledge of the regulatory environment.
Having a passion and interest in the sector and homelessness is a must for this role. You will help us continue evolving to be a thriving organisation that is resilient and sustainable for the future. Some exposure to systems implementation, change and transformation would be beneficial for this position.
This is a unique opportunity to work for a high-profile charity that works directly with people experiencing homelessness and is going through a period of transformation to provide even better support to its clients.
We are working hard to create a diverse and fully inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and we welcome applications from all under-represented groups, particularly Global Majority candidates who are underrepresented at this level of leadership.

£130,000 plus benefits
