About us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the role
As Portfolio Support Finance Business Partner, you will provide strategic financial leadership to Save the Children UK's restricted portfolio, ensuring donor funds are planned, monitored and reported effectively, compliantly and sustainably.
You will deliver high-quality financial insight, manage risk, strengthen controls and support confident decision-making, while building strong partnerships across programme and finance teams and representing SCUK Finance in donor and external forums.
In this role, you will:
• Provide financial insight and performance oversight across a portfolio of donor-funded awards, delivering monthly reporting, trend analysis and reviews with programme teams to inform strategic decisions.
• Lead risk management and compliance assurance, maintaining strong financial controls, audit readiness and accurate financial data across systems to safeguard donor funds and maintain confidence.
• Manage budgeting and forecasting processes for donor proposals and awards, ensuring robust financial planning and appropriate direct and indirect cost recovery.
• Oversee cashflow and income management, ensuring timely donor claims, accurate billing (including payment-by-results awards) and sufficient liquidity to support uninterrupted programme delivery.
• Act as a trusted business partner, providing financial expertise in external meetings and strengthening financial literacy across programme teams.
• Contribute to cross-organisational and global finance projects, working with colleagues across Save the Children International to improve systems, processes and controls.
About you
You'll bring a high degree of customer and quality orientation, with the ability to remain solution-focused, resilient, and adaptable in a fast-paced and changing environment.
To be successful, it is important that you have:
• A recognised accounting qualification or equivalent professional experience, ideally within the charity, development or humanitarian sector.
• Strong experience of donor funding, compliance requirements, award or contract management, and financial reporting.
• Proven ability to deliver financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and high-quality management accounts and analysis for senior stakeholders.

What we offer you
Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
