Wheels for All is a leading national charity dedicated to making cycling accessible and inclusive for everyone, regardless of ability. For over 30 years, we have built the UK’s largest network of inclusive cycling hubs, supporting communities to be active on their terms and thrive. We are expanding our reach, and we want you to be part of this journey! 

The Role 

As our new Head of Finance, you’ll lead our financial strategy, manage a small finance team, and support the Executive Management Team in driving sustainable growth. Working closely with the CEO, COO, and Trustees, you’ll develop financial plans, oversee compliance, and ensure robust financial operations to support our mission. This is a leadership role with the chance to make a lasting impact. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Financial Strategy & Growth: Partner with our leadership to drive long-term financial health and strategic decision-making. 

  • Financial Management & Reporting: Prepare budgets, forecasts, and financial reports, and ensure accurate, timely reporting for funders and stakeholders. 

  • Compliance & Governance: Maintain compliance with charity regulations and oversee audits, risk management, and policy development. 

  • Team Leadership: Lead and develop a small finance team, ensuring systems like Sage meet organisational needs. 

  • Fundraising Support: Collaborate with fundraisers to create budgets for funding applications and ensure transparent financial reporting to donors. 

 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent experience with 5+ years in senior finance roles (charity experience a plus) 

  • Strong knowledge of charity finance, VAT, grant management, and accounting software (Sage preferred) 

  • A strategic thinker with excellent communication skills to present financial information to non-financial stakeholders 

  • Passionate about our mission, collaborative, and committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment 

 

Why Join Wheels for All? 

We offer a competitive salary, a 3% employer pension contribution, a birthday day off, a volunteering day, flexible working options, a cycle-to-work scheme, access to yoga classes, and an Employee Assistance Program. You’ll also enjoy 25 days of annual leave, plus public holidays, increasing with service. 

Wheels for All is an equal opportunity employer, actively fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace.
