Reference: YMC1228366

About Us

Founded in 1844, YMCA is a global movement and the world's largest youth-focused charity.  In England and Wales, YMCAs are based in over 700 communities across 168 local authorities supporting young people and communities to reach their potential. The turnover of YMCA in 2025-26 was £386m. YMCA England & Wales is a £23 million organisation of more than 400 colleagues, supporting a Federation of 80 local YMCAs to deliver vital services which positively impact young lives across the country. As we grow our income and impact, we are seeking an established and inspirational Head of Finance to take on one of the most pivotal roles in our organisation.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership appointment, reporting to the Director of Resources and leading a Finance team of around nine, including the payroll function. You will act as our lead on all matters of finance, liaising with our Federation members where necessary, providing expert support to our Income Generation Directorate (Fundraising and Retail) and other internal Directorates, embedding financial insight into revenue-generation strategy and working in close collaborative partnership with senior colleagues both within those teams but also across the Federation. Beyond this, you will oversee statutory reporting, investments, VAT and taxation compliance, and provide expert counsel to our Board of Trustees and Finance and Audit Committee.

Why You

Perhaps you have already established an excellent track record within a charity with significant fundraising and retail operations and are ready for the scale and influence this role commands. Or perhaps this is your first move into a charity; you are a seasoned accountant whose clients have included charitable organisations, and you now plan to apply that expertise where it matters most. Either way, this is a genuine opportunity to shape the financial future of a movement with over 180 years of heritage as we continue to embed strong financial practices whilst delivering our strategic ambition

What We're Looking For

You will be a fully qualified accountant (ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA) with senior management experience leading finance in an organisation of comparable scale, ideally with charity reporting and SORP knowledge. Strong business partnering skills, gravitas with trustees and committees, and genuine collaborative leadership are essential to succeed in this crucial role.

Contract: Full time, permanent

Salary: £47,906 (£51,411 inclusive of London office allowance) plus competitive pension

Please note that this role will be closing on Wednesday 19 August at 9am.

We are looking for an account management, or workforce development professional that will consistently deliver on sales targets for our programmes and develop and maintain strong relationships with our partners for high satisfaction rates.

This is directly linked to achieving Frontline’s organisational objective of having 4,000 impactful Fellows by 2025, who will create social change for children without a safe or stable home

We are looking for someone with:

• A consistent record of hitting sales targets and forecasting accurately
• Skill in building trusted, senior-level partner relationships
• Confidence writing compelling proposals and delivering engaging pitches

Please see the job pack for a full list of responsibilities.

A little bit about you 

We are looking for someone with a strong background in sales and account management, who consistently delivers against targets and forecasts with confidence. You will bring a natural ability to build trust with senior partners, balancing their needs alongside those of colleagues across the organisation. You will be a clear, persuasive communicator, skilled at writing proposals and leading pitches that land well with different audiences. Above all, you will be dependable and proactive, helping to build a high-performing culture through strong collaboration and sound judgement under pressure.

We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn.

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater global majority representation in our senior roles. We know the value global majority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

Help shape the future of international development.

Location: Hybrid (minimum one day per month in our London office – with the occasional need to attend additional in-person meetings)

 Reports to: Chief Executive

Finance isn't just about numbers. It's about making change possible.

At Bond, we believe a more just and equitable world is possible.

As the UK network for organisations working in international development, we bring together more than 300 civil society organisations united by a shared ambition: to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice around the world. We champion the sector, influence policy, strengthen organisations and create the connections that enable our members to achieve greater impact together.

International development is changing.

Funding is becoming more complex. Expectations are growing. Organisations are navigating increasing uncertainty while responding to global crises that demand collaboration, innovation and resilience.

That is why we're looking for an exceptional Director of Finance & Resources.

This is a rare opportunity to join our Senior Management Team and help shape the future of Bond at a pivotal moment in our journey.

A leadership role with purpose

As our Director of Finance & Resources, you'll do far more than lead finance.

You'll help ensure Bond remains financially resilient, operationally strong and strategically focused so that we can continue supporting the organisations working to create lasting global change.

Working closely with our CEO, Trustees and senior colleagues, you'll provide the financial leadership, organisational insight and strategic challenge that enables confident decision-making across the organisation.

You'll oversee Finance, Planning, Operations, HR and IT, ensuring the systems, people and financial governance behind our work are as strong as the mission we exist to serve.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead:

• Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
• Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
• Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
• Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
• Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
• Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
• Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
• Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.

This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
• Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
• Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
• Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.

Why Bond?

Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.

You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.

Alongside meaningful work, we offer:

• Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
• 7% employer pension contribution.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
• A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.

Join us

This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.

We are partnering exclusively with Bryony Thomas at Allen Lane. For an informal conversation about the role, get in touch via the agency website.
