King George & Queen’s Hospitals Charity
Finance Manager
Salary: £55,000 - £60,000
Contract: Permanent, full-time (open to 4 days/week)
Hybrid working (60% office-based, Romford HQ)
Application deadline: 29 October 2025

About King George & Queen’s Hospitals Charity
King George & Queen’s Hospitals Charity exists to make a real difference for patients, families, and staff across King George Hospital in Ilford and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We raise vital funds to enhance hospital environments, support staff wellbeing, and improve the quality of care and experience for our communities.
Now entering an exciting new chapter, we are transitioning into a fully independent NHS charity — with a new Board of Trustees and the freedom to define our own strategy, build new partnerships, and expand our impact. As we establish our independent structure, this is a pivotal moment to join a small, dedicated team committed to creating a lasting legacy for local people.
Our vision is to help everyone who comes through our hospitals experience exceptional care, comfort, and compassion. Everything we do is guided by our values of collaboration, integrity, and community — ensuring every pound raised translates into meaningful change for those who need it most.

About the Role
As Finance Manager, you will play a key leadership role at the heart of the charity’s transformation. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will oversee all aspects of financial management, governance, and reporting — ensuring the charity’s financial integrity and sustainability as we move to independence and beyond.
This is a unique opportunity for a proactive and strategic finance professional who enjoys being both hands-on and high-impact. You’ll help design and implement new systems, establish strong controls, and shape the financial framework that will underpin the charity’s growth and success for years to come.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of the charity’s financial management, from budgeting and forecasting to audit and reporting.
• Prepare monthly management accounts, cashflow statements and multi-year forecasts.
• Oversee year-end accounts and manage the audit process, ensuring full compliance with Charity SORP and HMRC requirements.
• Maintain Sage systems, streamline processes, and develop fit-for-purpose financial policies and procedures.
• Provide clear, insightful reporting to the CEO and Board of Trustees to inform strategic decisions.
• Manage restricted and unrestricted funds, fundraising income and grant reporting.
• Oversee investments and reserves in collaboration with external advisors.
• Partner with fundraising colleagues to maximise income impact and ensure financial sustainability.
• Support the charity’s transition from Trust to independence, embedding good governance and control frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) — essential.
• Solid experience in charity finance, ideally within a fundraising or grant-giving environment.
• Strong technical knowledge of charity accounting (SORP), restricted funds, and Gift Aid.
• Confident working independently in a sole finance role, with both strategic and operational responsibilities.
• Experience building or improving financial systems during periods of change.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills — able to advise trustees and non-finance colleagues alike.
• Hands-on and proactive — comfortable processing invoices one day and presenting strategy the next.
• Familiarity with Sage (or similar) and strong Excel skills.

Why Join Us

• This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a newly independent charity — one with a strong foundation, clear mission, and the ambition to make a difference every day.
• You’ll join a supportive and close-knit team working in partnership with NHS colleagues and our communities. We offer flexible hybrid working, professional development opportunities, and the chance to see the direct impact of your work across both hospitals.
• If you’re inspired by the idea of helping to build a modern, effective, and compassionate charity from the ground up — we’d love to hear from you.
