With an annual income approaching £2 million, multiple community sites and exciting plans for further growth, we’re investing in a modern finance function that supports excellent decision-making and long-term sustainability.

- Lead our migration from QuickBooks to Xero.
- Introduce smarter digital processes.
- Improve financial reporting.
- Build dashboards that help managers make better decisions.
- Work directly with the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees.
- Influence organisational strategy.
- Help shape the future of one of Camden’s leading community charities.
You’ll have the freedom to improve how we work—not simply maintain existing processes.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll provide strategic financial leadership while leading the modernisation of QCCA’s finance systems.
Working closely with our Chief Executive and Senior Management Team, you’ll:
- Lead the migration from QuickBooks to Xero (or an agreed cloud accounting platform).
- Produce insightful monthly management accounts and financial reports.
- Develop budgets, forecasts and financial models.
- Present financial information to Trustees and senior managers.
- Improve financial systems, controls and reporting.
- Introduce automation and digital workflows.
- Support commercial income generation and grant-funded projects.
- Lead the annual audit process.
- Line manage and develop our Finance Assistants.
- Help build a finance function fit for the future.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who enjoys making organisations better.
You’ll probably have experience of:
- Charity finance.
- Management accounting.
- Budgeting and forecasting.
- Audit preparation.
- Financial controls.
- Cloud accounting systems (Xero experience is highly desirable).
- Leading change and improving systems.
- Supporting non-finance managers.
- Working collaboratively with senior leaders and Trustees.
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys solving problems, embracing technology and helping organisations grow.
We ask you to apply by sending us your CV and cover letter (2 pages) demonstrating your experience.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Many Tears Animal Rescue is at an exciting stage in its development. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome thousands of animals each year, and are now seeking an experienced, practical leader to guide our next chapter.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Help us make sure no one living with nystagmus ever feels alone. We're looking for a Chief Executive who can turn a trusted, growing charity into a fundraising and communications powerhouse.
The Nystagmus Network is a small charity with an excellent reputation. For forty years, we've been the voice people turn to when they need it most. Whether that's a parent whose child has just been diagnosed, an adult navigating a new condition, or a clinician looking for a research partner with expertise in patient involvement. We've built that trust one relationship at a time, and now we're ready to grow it into something bigger.
We need a Chief Executive who sees fundraising at the heart of the charity, and as storytelling with a purpose. If you thrive on walking into a room with a funder and leaving with a partnership, you're the person for us. Securing significant income through trust and statutory bids sits at the heart of this role, and so does the expertise in demonstrating impact. Sharp, compelling reporting that shows funders and supporters exactly what their money makes possible.
We're looking for someone who can shape a communications and brand presence that matches the strength of our reputation, someone with experience in setting direction for external-facing content, comfortable working with fractional expertise to keep our voice consistent and professional, and just as comfortable being the face of that voice themselves. You'll be equally at home talking research priorities with an ophthalmologist as you are meeting a family with an unexpected diagnosis.
This is a hands-on role in a lean, ambitious organisation. You'll hold real responsibility for strategy, governance and our external profile, working closely with a supportive Board of Trustees, but you'll also be close enough to the work to take ownership of the insight and data that prove it's working. We want to hear from you if the idea of taking real ownership of all aspects of running a charity appeals to you, if you are a self starter with the skills to manage a wide range of projects and ideas.
You do not need to have been a Chief Executive before. What you do need is real sector experience, credibility with funders and trustees, and the drive to turn ambition into a deliverable plan. We particularly welcome applications from people with personal experience of nystagmus or other eye conditions.
If you can bring both the strategic weight and the storytelling instinct this next chapter needs, we would love to hear from you.
Part-time · 3 days per week · 12-month fixed-term contract · £44,000-48,000 per annum, depending on experience (pro rata) · Remote, with periodic in-person meetings
Please keep cover letters to one page maximum and be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What is it about your previous experience that makes you a good fit for this role?
2. Please describe what you consider to be the biggest opportunities for the Nystagmus network
3. What made you apply for this role?
