Director of Finance and Operations
The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK
Salary: £60,000-£70,000 per annum
Remote (UK-based) with expensed travel to London
Full-time, permanent
Akshaya Patra is one of the world’s largest school meals charities – nourishing 2.35 million children in India every day and now expanding our impact across the UK.
Our UK after-school programme, Empower Hour, provides hot, nutritious meals and targeted tuition to children growing up in poverty – extending the school day by 60 minutes to give them the fuel, support and enrichment they need to thrive.
What began in one school in 2024 is already serving ten, and – alongside driving continued expansion in India – we are now ready to scale our delivery to reach thousands more children across the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
To help lead this exciting phase of growth, we are seeking a Director of Finance and Operations – a senior leader who combines strong financial stewardship with operational leadership and is motivated by purpose as much as performance.
You will sit on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the CEO, and oversee two core portfolios:
- Programmes – overseeing Watford kitchen operations, Empower Hour delivery and holiday hunger initiatives.
- Finance and Resources – leading financial planning and reporting, systems, compliance, HR development and organisational infrastructure.
This role will suit someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical implementation – someone who finds energy in building strong foundations and helping a values-led organisation grow well.
You may have built your career in charity, education, food provision, public services, the private sector or elsewhere – but you will bring:
- Senior-level experience across finance, operations or programme delivery.
- Strong financial acumen and understanding of charity governance and compliance.
- A collaborative leadership style – supporting, challenging and uplifting those you lead.
- Deep alignment with our mission to fight child hunger and educational inequality.
What we offer:
- Flexible and remote working.
- 34 days’ leave (25 days annual leave + Diwali + English bank holidays).
- Employer pension contribution.
- Investment in professional and vocational development.
- A meaningful leadership role in a growing global movement – empowering children in both the UK and India.
How to apply:
- Download the full job description and application details here or on our website.
- Please send your CV and a cover letter to the email address in the applicant pack outlining both your suitability for the role and what attracts you to Akshaya Patra and our mission.
- Closing date: Monday 3 November 2025.
If you believe no child should be held back by hunger – and you have the leadership skills and desire to help grow an organisation that makes that possible – we would love to hear from you.
