Job description

Head of Finance (12-Month FTC)

A well-established Housing Charity is seeking a Head of Finance on an initial 12-month fixed-term contract. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this role offers a unique opportunity to operate as the number two in finance, playing a key role in both strategic leadership and operational delivery while supporting a period of transformation across the finance function and wider organisation.

The organisation is recognised for its commitment to delivering high-quality services and creating positive outcomes for the communities it supports.

This role is ideally suited to an experienced finance professional looking to step into a high-impact leadership position, driving improvements across people, processes and financial insight.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the finance function, providing stability and strong leadership during a period of organisational change.
  • Drive the Finance Business Partnering function, improving budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and financial planning.
  • Take ownership of the year-end audit, statutory accounts, month-end reporting, and strengthen financial controls and reconciliations.
  • Lead finance transformation by improving processes, reducing manual ways of working and preparing the function for a future finance systems implementation.
  • Produce high-quality management reporting and dashboards to support decision-making across the organisation.

 

Requirements

  • Fully qualified accountant with experience in social housing, charity, or care and support.
  • Proven leadership experience, with the ability to manage, motivate and develop finance teams.
  • Experience operating at both a strategic and operational level, with a strong focus on business partnering.
  • Strong technical accounting knowledge and advanced Excel skills.
  • Excellent analytical, systems and communication skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a lasting impact within the finance function while supporting a wider organisational transformation. There is a genuine opportunity for the role to become permanent, making it an ideal position for someone seeking both an immediate challenge and long-term stability.

The organisation is looking to appoint quickly, so candidates available at short notice / immediately available are encouraged to apply.
