About the Organisation

This growing charitable organisation exists to improve the experience of patients, families, and staff across a network of NHS healthcare sites. Through fundraising, grant-making, and strategic investment, the charity enhances environments, supports staff wellbeing, and contributes to better care for the communities it serves.

The organisation’s vision is to ensure everyone who interacts with its supported healthcare services experiences exceptional care, comfort, and compassion. Its work is driven by values of collaboration, integrity, and community — ensuring every pound raised contributes directly to meaningful improvements for local people.

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 — safeguarding the organisation’s financial integrity and sustainability as it moves through this period of change.

This is a rare opportunity for a strategic and hands-on finance professional to help shape systems, embed strong controls, and design the financial frameworks that will support the charity’s long-term growth and impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of financial management, including budgeting, forecasting, audit, and statutory reporting.
• Prepare monthly management accounts, cashflow statements, and multi-year financial forecasts.
• Oversee year-end accounts and manage the external audit, ensuring compliance with Charity SORP and HMRC requirements.
• Maintain financial systems, improving processes and developing fit-for-purpose financial policies and procedures.
• Provide clear, insightful reporting to the CEO and Board to support effective decision-making.
• Manage restricted/unrestricted funds, fundraising income, and grant allocations.
• Oversee investments and reserves alongside external advisers.
• Partner with fundraising and operations colleagues to maximise income impact and ensure financial sustainability.
• Support the charity’s transition to independence, embedding strong governance and financial control frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Strong experience in charity finance, ideally within a fundraising or grant-making environment.
• Solid technical knowledge of charity accounting, restricted funds, and Gift Aid.
• Comfortable operating independently in a sole finance role, with both strategic and operational responsibilities.
• Experience developing or improving financial systems during periods of organisational change.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, including the ability to advise trustees and colleagues without a finance background.
• Hands-on and proactive approach — able to switch between daily processing tasks and senior-level strategic work.
• Familiarity with Sage (or similar) and strong Excel capability.

Why Join Us

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of a newly independent charity with a clear purpose, strong foundations, and the ambition to make meaningful change every day.

You’ll join a supportive, close-knit team working closely with NHS partners and local communities. The charity offers flexible hybrid working, professional development opportunities, and the chance to directly influence the impact delivered across its healthcare sites.

If you’re motivated by the idea of helping to build an effective, dynamic, and compassionate charity from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.
