This is an exciting opportunity to join Battersea as Head of Finance on a part-time, fixed-term basis, providing cover during a period of sabbatical leave. The role will provide senior financial leadership throughout this period, ensuring continuity, stability and high-quality financial support across the Charity.

This role will lead a high-performing finance and procurement team, ensuring Battersea has robust financial management and an effective control environment that safeguards its finances. They will oversee statutory financial responsibilities, including the production and external audit of statutory accounts and submissions to the Charity Commission, Companies House and HMRC.

This role will ensure the Charity has timely, accurate and meaningful financial information to support sound decision-making, while providing a customer-focused finance service across the organisation. This will include high-quality financial reporting, training, support and advice to key stakeholders.

As a senior leader and member of the Senior Leadership Team, the postholder will contribute to Battersea’s strategic direction and culture, role-modelling its values and helping the Charity achieve its objectives.

What we can offer you:

In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:

  • 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year.
  • Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources.
  • Generous pension contributions - up to 10% employer contribution.
  • Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year.
  • Annual interest-free season ticket loans.

We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.

Diversity and inclusion:

We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all staff, volunteers and trustees and those hoping to join us. We operate an anonymised shortlisting process and actively seek to ensure our process is fair and equitable for all.

We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.

As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. If you would like to talk more about this, please contact us. Greyscale copies of the recruitment pack are also available on request.

More about us:

At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

Acceptable use of AI:

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.

To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.

Closing date: 2nd September 2026

All applications must be submitted before the closing date advertised. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received.
