About Midlands Air Ambulance Charity

Play a lead role in the financial future of one of the UK's most advanced pre-hospital critical care charities.

When someone suffers a traumatic injury or life‑threatening medical emergency, every second matters. Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) exists to save lives by saving time - bringing hospital‑level intervention directly to scenes of critical need across six counties, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For more than three decades, our clinicians have delivered treatments usually only found inside an A&E department: pre‑hospital emergency anaesthesia, advanced drugs, surgical interventions, and rapid blood transfusion. Every mission we fly - more than 80,000 since our formation - is funded entirely by public generosity. We receive no NHS or Government funding. Our ability to save lives depends on the strength, foresight and resilience of our finances.

We are now entering a pivotal phase. We are diversifying our income model, expanding clinical training programmes, developing new commercial opportunities, and deepening our partnerships with NHS Trusts. As Finance Director, you will play a central role in shaping this next chapter – ensuring that our lifesaving work remains financially sustainable, strategic, and ready for what the future demands.

Why this role matters

Behind every rapid-response helicopter launch is a complex, high-trust financial system that must be robust, transparent and agile. The external environment remains challenging, with income pressures, rising operational costs and changing clinical demand. Against this backdrop, MAAC is committed to strengthening its resilience, investing in data-driven insight, and expanding its impact.

Our ability to continue offering world-class pre-hospital care depends on a financial strategy that protects today’s service while enabling long-term innovation. Working collaboratively with the Board, CEO and Senior Leadership Team, the Finance Director plays a lead role in ensuring that our financial decisions are bold but responsible, that our financial resources are deployed authentically in service of patient need, and that colleagues - from frontline clinicians to volunteers - are supported by stable, assured financial stewardship.

This is a mission-led role of real consequence. You will hold a unique vantage point across the entire organisation: playing a lead role in shaping financial strategy, ensuring robust financial stewardship and cost management, safeguarding financial risk, and enabling confident, evidence-based financial decision-making at executive and Board level.

Your contribution

· Provide strategic financial leadership that strengthens resilience, supports growth and ensures MAAC is future-ready.

· Build trusted relationships across the Board, Executive, Senior Leadership Team and clinical leaders - becoming a critical partner in financial organisational planning. 

· Lead Group-wide financial stewardship across charity and trading operations, securing robust controls and transparent reporting. Ensure financial systems, processes and controls remain best-in-class, enabling clarity, accountability and operational confidence.

· Steward financial risk and compliance, including oversight of the investment portfolio, reserves strategy and financial statutory obligations.

· Report to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board of Trustees to provide assurance that financial controls are adequate, appropriate and operating effectively – supporting Trustees in carrying out their governance responsibilities.

· Play a lead role in shaping our long-term financial plan, working collaboratively to manage costs and grow income through innovation and diversification.

· Model values-led leadership, supporting the development, wellbeing and capability of a high-performing Finance team.

What you will help shape

· A financially confident organisation that is able to meet changing clinical demand with innovation and resilience.

· A sustainable, diversified income base that protects our independence and reflects our bold ambitions.

· Strong evidence-led decision-making, driven by high-quality financial insight, strategic modelling and scenario planning.

· Continuous improvement in financial stewardship, risk, compliance and transparency.

· An inclusive, collaborative and values-led culture consistent with MAAC’s commitment to dignity, respect and equity.

· The organisation’s future as a national Centre of Excellence for clinical training, underpinned by sound financial investment and planning.

Few roles offer this combination of purpose, complexity and impact. As Finance Director, you will directly support one of the country’s most vital emergency care services - protecting the integrity of today’s operations while building the foundations for the services of tomorrow.

If you are motivated by mission, inspired by challenge and ready to play a defining part in the future of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, we would be delighted to hear from you.

We also run a distance learning programme and a support new course development, with faculty across the UK.

This is a senior, varied and highly rewarding role. The post-holder works closely with the Director of Education, Executive Director, education committees, and a wide network of faculty and external partners.

We offer 25 days’ annual leave (excluding Bank Holidays) plus an additional day leave for birthday, rising to 30 days after 10 years of service and access to the Nest Pension scheme, with 7% employer contribution.

Individual Giving Lead When You Wish Upon a Star | £30,000–£35,000 | Nottingham / Hybrid | Permanent 

Some roles are defined before you arrive. This one is defined by you. 

When You Wish Upon a Star grants life-changing wishes for children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses. Every wish is a memory that lasts a lifetime for a family facing the unimaginable. The cause is immediate, emotionally powerful and directly translatable into the kind of impact that makes supporters proud to be involved. 

We are looking for someone to develop and lead our individual giving function. You will shape the strategy, grow and steward our community of individual supporters, and define what this looks like for Wish. You will have the full backing of the CEO and board, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to bring your own thinking, creativity and ambition to a function that is yours to build.

If that sounds like the role you have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you.

What you will be doing 

You will identify, engage and grow a community of individual supporters who feel deeply connected to our mission, developing propositions and campaigns that are emotionally compelling and inspire long-term giving. You will represent Wish confidently, create the systems and supporter journeys that enable sustainable growth, and lay the foundations for an individual giving programme that grows in both income and impact. As income grows, so does the role. The expectation is that this person builds not just a strong base of individual supporters but, in time, a team around it. 

You will work closely with the Head of Income Generation and Board, with realistic targets in the early stages that give you the time and space to build meaningful relationships rather than focus on short-term gains. This is not a role where you will be left to figure it out alone. It is one where your ideas are valued, your judgement is trusted, and your ambition is actively supported. 

What you will bring 

Experience developing, growing or significantly influencing individual giving income streams, including regular giving and lottery programmes, and engaging supporters at scale to inspire long-term and higher-value giving. Experience of managing the end-to-end supporter journey through CRM systems, using insight and data to drive acquisition, retention and growth. 

A strong instinct for understanding what motivates people to give, and the ability to turn that insight into campaigns and experiences that feel personal, compelling and effective. Comfort with ownership, and the confidence to create momentum and build something from the ground up. 

What we offer 

We know what we are asking of you and we have built a package to reflect it. 

• £30,000–£35,000, reviewed as the function grows 

• 25 days holiday rising to 30 with service, plus 3 days at Christmas not taken from your allowance 

• 2 Wish Maker days each year to make your own wishes come true 

• 6 months full maternity pay 

• Full sick pay from day one 

• Flexible working with full trust over how you structure your hours 

• A culture built on genuine care for the people who work here 

How to apply

Who we are and why we are needed

The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems. Each year we provide funding and skills to the best grassroots charities and social enterprises in the UK and we are growing. 

Across the UK, talented people within communities are building practical solutions to our most complex challenges – from poverty and mental health to education, exclusion and sustainability. However, the vast majority of these solutions do not achieve their potential to drive wider change across society because of failures in how the funding system works. 

The Fore is the UK’s only venture philanthropy fund that has cracked the code in how to identify and distribute funding to turbocharge grassroots innovation and catalyse change. Since 2017, The Fore has been backing the best small charities and social enterprises with astonishing results. So far over 50% of local organisations supported eight years ago have gone on to influence policy, shape national conversations and change lives at scale.

Currently The Fore is funding around 50 of the best charities per year and supporting hundreds of others with skills. However, as an organisation we need to do more. We are looking to scale our impact through two routes. Firstly, by increasing our work backing the best charities and convening and educating donors, and secondly by leading change in the broader funding system.

The role

In the next phase of The Fore’s development, it is a priority for the CEO to be able to concentrate on building the external profile and influence of The Fore’s work. Therefore, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) will play a central role in leadership as the organisation develops. The role translates strategy into delivery, providing oversight across grant making, partnerships, people, and governance, and ensuring the organisation can deliver on its ambitions while managing risk and capacity. We’re a small, agile charity so you’ll work across both high-level direction and day-to-day organisational delivery. In the next eighteen months, the COO will have responsibility for designing and delivering on a number of key strategic priorities, such as:

• ensuring the continued excellence of the grant and skills support we provide to the charities and social enterprises we back
• building out and refining existing activities and processes to ensure exceptional relationship management for our growing number of corporate and private philanthropic partners
• working with the CEO to develop the Partnerships Team to set it up for scaling and to meet the needs of new partnership models
• incorporating the use of AI into our systems and processes to streamline operations wherever possible while safeguarding the personalised experience we pride ourselves on offering all our partners.

• Holds responsibility for the organisation’s impact framework, ensuring it is credible, proportionate, and aligned with strategic priorities
• Ensures data and insight are used effectively to inform decision-making, reporting, and external positioning

• Working with the external finance team, provides oversight of budgeting and financial performance, ensuring alignment between income, grant commitments, and operational capacity
• Contributes to the development of board and committee papers, leading on operational, financial, and risk-related content to ensure clear reporting
• Ensures appropriate compliance and governance frameworks are in place across grants, partnerships, and operations (including charity insurance, policies, health and safety, safeguarding, GDPR and cyber security)
