Interim Senior FP&A Manager
Location: Thame (Oxfordshire) with hybrid working (minimum, 2 days per week in the office) and occasional travel
Contract: Interim, Fixed Term Contract until 31 March 2027
Salary / day rate: £60,000 per annum (pro rata)
Reports to: Head of Finance
Affinity Trust is looking for an experienced Interim Senior FP&A Manager to bring senior finance capacity, challenge and insight across a complex, multi-site organisation.
This is not a routine reporting role. We are looking for someone who can quickly get under the skin of operational performance, understand the financial drivers behind service delivery, and help senior leaders make better, faster and more informed decisions.
You will work closely with the Head of Finance, Finance Business Partners, Divisional Directors and operational leaders, providing high-quality analysis, forecasting, commercial insight and constructive challenge. The work will span income, workforce costs, agency and overtime spend, utilisation, fee rates, contract performance, forecasting assumptions and recovery planning.
This is a senior individual contributor role, adding experienced capacity where it is most needed, to help maintain pace across key priorities, and strengthen the link between financial insight and operational action.
The assignment
You will be joining at a point where strong financial planning, clear analysis and senior business partnering are critical to supporting sustainable services.
Your work will include:
- Leading robust forecasting and scenario modelling across a complex operational portfolio
- Providing senior finance business partnering to divisional and operational leaders
- Analysing key cost drivers, particularly workforce-related costs such as agency, overtime, sickness and staffing ratios
- Reviewing income, fee rates, local authority funding assumptions, utilisation and contract performance
- Supporting tenders, contract reviews, business cases and service sustainability analysis
- Helping identify whether financial pressure is driven by fee levels, operational delivery, workforce deployment or a combination of factors
- Translating complex financial information into clear insight, options and practical recommendations
- Supporting the head of finance and wider finance team with additional senior capacity during a period of increased demand.
About you
You will be a qualified accountant with ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent, and substantial experience in senior FP&A, finance business partnering or commercial finance roles.
You will be confident working with senior stakeholders and able to bring both grip and judgement. You will know how to challenge assumptions constructively, explain complex financial information clearly, and turn analysis into action.
You are likely to have worked in a complex, multi-site or operationally demanding environment, where financial performance is closely linked to workforce planning, contract income, service delivery and operational decision-making.
You will bring:
- Strong FP&A, forecasting, modelling and management reporting experience
- Advanced Excel and analytical capability
- Credibility with senior operational and finance stakeholders
- Experience supporting budgeting, reforecasting, recovery planning and performance improvement
- The ability to work at pace, prioritise well and operate with a high level of autonomy
- A practical, commercial and solutions-focused approach.
Experience in social care, healthcare, supported living, charity or not-for-profit settings would be helpful, but is not essential. Experience with Local Authority funding, high-volume staffing models, workforce cost pressures or interim turnaround environments would be particularly valuable.
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to make a visible impact quickly.
You will be joining a values-led not-for-profit support organisation with national impact, where finance plays a central role in supporting sustainable, high-quality services for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.
For the right person, this is a role with real substance: complex operations, senior stakeholder exposure, meaningful commercial analysis, and the chance to strengthen financial decision-making where it matters most.
Please note, if you are successful, we may need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (Criminal Record) check at the relevant level for the role. This will be paid for by us.

Working closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Research, Health Services, Equity and Improvement (HSEI) and the Leadership Team, you’ll turn existing relationships and networks into strong, value-aligned partnerships. You’ll take a proactive approach to stakeholder engagement, using insight and influence to create opportunities and drive new business.
You’ll be responsible for managing your pipeline effectively, tracking performance and balancing shorter-term delivery with longer-term growth. Alongside this, you’ll act as a health sector specialist within the team, bringing insight, credibility and up-to-date knowledge to strengthen our approach.
Collaboration is key, and you’ll work across teams to ensure partnerships are set up for long-term success, with smooth handovers and clear alignment. Success in the role will be measured through income secured, pipeline strength and the quality and impact of the partnerships you build.
What we want from you
We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who brings both commercial insight and a genuine passion for making a difference in the health space. You’ll have built your career in business development, sales or high-value fundraising, ideally within health or pharmaceutical settings, and will be able to point to examples where you’ve successfully secured significant partnerships or commercial agreements.
You’ll be comfortable shaping compelling, high-value funding propositions that resonate with partners, and you’ll have a strong understanding of how the health sector works in practice, including decision-making processes and the wider regulatory landscape. Just as important is your ability to build and maintain trusted relationships. You’ll feel comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, bringing credibility, professionalism and a collaborative approach to every interaction.
We’d especially love to hear from you if you’ve worked within healthcare, life sciences or pharmaceutical organisations, or if you have experience building partnerships in a charity or purpose-led environment. An understanding of areas such as ESG, research or impact-led partnerships would also be a real advantage, particularly in helping us grow meaningful and sustainable collaborations.
Above all, you’ll be someone who combines commercial thinking with a values-driven approach, and who’s motivated by the opportunity to create partnerships that deliver real impact.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

£42,750 - £50,250 per year
Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
It’s an incredibly exciting time within partnerships at Prostate Cancer UK. In line with the charity’s ambitious 10-year fundraising strategy, partnerships are a core component in raising vital funds and awareness to help men navigate the UK’s most common cancer. With nationally recognised, award-winning partnerships as our platform, matched with a record-high brand sentiment rating, a highly prominent cause and a marketplace looking for long-term strategic partnerships, we are building the team infrastructure to maximise our strong position through the launch of two developed functions – Account Development and Business Development.
What the job involves
This is a key role focused on delivering, growing and developing some of our most important and high-profile partnerships. You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of major partners, building on strong existing relationships and turning them into long-term, strategic collaborations that deliver real impact and sustained income.
Working within our Account Development team, you’ll look beyond day-to-day delivery to unlock new opportunities. You’ll spot where partnerships can grow, whether that’s through extending existing activity, opening up new areas of collaboration or bringing fresh ideas that add value for both sides. A big part of the role is building trusted, senior-level relationships and using those connections to deepen engagement and create further opportunities.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to make sure partnerships are joined up, high quality and aligned with our wider goals. At the same time, you’ll use insight and data to shape plans, track performance and make sure partnerships continue to develop and improve over time.
Overall, this role is about managing strong partnerships and helping them go further, growing their value, strengthening relationships and turning them into something even more impactful over the long term.
What we want from you
We’re looking for a Partnership Development Manager who brings a strong track record of delivering high-quality campaigns and partnerships that drive genuine, sustained income growth. You’ll be skilled in managing and developing major partnerships, with experience of working at a high-value level in either the charity sector or a comparable commercial environment. Alongside this, you’ll bring a strategic mindset, with the ability to spot opportunities, think creatively and turn ideas into meaningful, long-term value.
Building strong relationships will come naturally to you. You’ll be comfortable engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, bringing credibility, clarity and confidence to your conversations. You’ll also have a commercially aware approach, with the ability to negotiate effectively, balance different priorities and create outcomes that work for everyone involved.
We’d be particularly interested to hear from you if you have experience managing complex, multi-year or transformational partnerships, or if you’ve worked across commercial, agency or charity settings. An understanding of brand-led, impact-driven or purpose-driven partnerships would also be valuable, helping you to shape partnerships that are both purposeful and commercially strong.
