Social Welfare Jobs

Location: Working from home and from our offices in Brighton or Eastbourne.

Survivors’ Network was established in 1990 by a group of survivors of childhood sexual abuse to provide services that would support other survivors. We were the first organisation in Brighton and Hove specifically focused on supporting adult survivors of sexual abuse in childhood, over time expanding to support to all survivors of sexual violence, regardless of age, gender or background, across the whole county of Sussex.  

At Survivors’ Network, we view people accessing our services as survivors, rather than victims. This does not ignore an individual’s experience of victimhood, but rather defines the basis upon which we begin all interactions with service users. 

Encompassing our values of bravery, compassion, collaboration and empowerment, we are looking for a creative, values-led woman to join us as Head of Finance. 

Sitting within the senior management team, the role of Head of Finance is to provide a robust and focused finance function for the organisation, as well as line managing the Finance Officer. The postholder will be responsible for monitoring and reporting on the financial position of the organisation, providing strategic financial advice to the Senior Management Team and managing the day-to-day finance operations. This includes complying with all statutory and regulatory requirements alongside supporting service managers across the team to manage income and expenditure across their programs of work.

You will be a qualified accountant with solid experience of working at a senior level. You will be adept at managing all aspects of finance, including financial reporting and providing management reporting tools. Your skills in analysing and interpreting financial data will be crucial in forecasting and leading on budgets. Additionally, you will have a proven track record in developing strategic business plans. 

We are seeking someone passionate about making a difference to survivors, who stands by our vision, mission and values and is keen to learn more about feminist leadership and embedding intersectional feminist principles. We love them and hope you do too. 

We are committed to flexible working, however, we do need our Head of Finance to attend a quarterly board meeting for about half an hour on a Thursday evening.

The closing date for applications is Friday the 14th of May. 

Survivors’ Network values diversity and aims to reflect and represent the city’s communities in the staff team. We are currently under-represented in the following areas and actively welcome applications from: 

• Women over 45 

• Women who are disabled (please note that our Brighton offices are not accessible for persons with mobility issues) 

• Women from a Black and Minority Ethnic background 

This post is open to female applicants only. Being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
