Senior finance business partner jobs in Birmingham, west midlands

Do you have a passion for getting data right so organisations can make confident, informed decisions?

Are you someone who loves improving processes and making sure information is accurate, reliable, and easy to use?

Do you enjoy roles where you can support colleagues with clear, trustworthy reporting that helps services reach people who need them most?

Use your data and financial insight to help ensure no one in the UK has to live without heat, light or power. If you’re driven by purpose and passionate about high‑quality data, this role lets you shape decisions that directly improve lives.

Fuel Bank Foundation supports people facing fuel crisis by providing emergency financial help, practical advice, and long‑term advocacy. As the UK’s only charity dedicated to households who prepay for their energy, our work is urgent, meaningful, and growing. High‑quality financial data is essential to how we plan, allocate resources, report to funders, and demonstrate our impact — and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Data Quality Analyst to strengthen the accuracy, integrity, and usefulness of financial and operational data across the organisation. You’ll play a vital role in developing data governance processes, improving reporting systems, and ensuring the organisation has the insight it needs to operate efficiently, transparently, and in line with our mission.

What you’ll do

You’ll develop and maintain finance data policies, ensuring alignment with audit standards, financial controls, and regulatory requirements. You’ll monitor and audit data quality across systems, identifying issues and implementing improvements that protect accuracy and compliance.

Working closely with colleagues across Finance, Operations, and Strategic Partnerships, you’ll gather and document reporting requirements, validate data needs, and ensure our financial reporting is robust, relevant, and timely. You’ll analyse income, expenditure, and allocation datasets to support forecasting, modelling, and fund distribution decisions.

You’ll build dashboards and visual tools (e.g., Power BI) that connect financial data to programme performance and service impact. You’ll produce clear, actionable insights for technical and non‑technical audiences, supporting senior leadership, trustees, funders, and auditors.

You’ll also contribute to developing financial KPIs, social impact metrics, and monitoring frameworks that help us understand the cost and value of our services — from average cost per outcome to cost avoidance and programme effectiveness.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have experience in data analysis with a strong financial or funding component, ideally within a charity, social enterprise, or public sector environment. You’ll be confident using Excel and Power BI,with a solid understanding of data governance, quality standards, and GDPR.

You’ll understand financial reporting, budgeting, cost allocation, and forecasting, and you’ll be comfortable working with funder requirements and audit processes. You’ll have strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate complex data into meaningful insight.

You’ll thrive in a fast‑paced, mission‑driven environment, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and composure. You’ll be collaborative, proactive, and committed to continuous improvement — always looking for ways to strengthen systems and processes.

Why join us

At Fuel Bank Foundation, you’ll be part of a supportive, inclusive team united by a shared mission. Your work will directly influence how we allocate resources, measure impact, and support people experiencing fuel crisis. If you want to use your analytical skills to create meaningful change for vulnerable communities, we’d love to hear from you.

What you will receive in return:

• Support from a team of like-minded individuals who will support you to succeed in the role.

Working within the Financial Partnering, Planning and Analysis function, you'll be the dedicated finance partner for our Dementia Support and Partnerships directorate, connecting Finance with the teams responsible for providing our services across the UK.

- The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities, while knowing when to consult and when to ask for support.

Key Responsibilities:

- Partnering with budget holders across your assigned directorate to provide analysis, insight and recommendations that support effective, informed decision-making.
- Preparing financial reports, budgets, forecasts and business plans, and modelling financial data to support operational and strategic priorities.
- Supporting and challenging budget holders to identify risks and opportunities early, escalating appropriately and agreeing remedial action where needed.
- Strengthening financial knowledge and confidence across your stakeholder group through coaching, training and a partnership-based approach.
- Working collaboratively across the Finance team to design intuitive reports and analysis that meet the needs of colleagues across the Society.
- Advocating good accounting principles and helping to educate, inform and develop others within your directorate and the wider Finance team.
- Identifying cost saving or optimisation opportunities, working closely with colleagues in Procurement and Sustainability to realise these.
- Supporting Senior Business Partners in identifying key performance metrics and collecting routine feedback from partners across the Society to drive constant quality improvement.

Support and Advocacy Practitioner

Kairos Women Working Together is looking for a Support and Advocacy Practitioner to join our specialist women’s organisation in Coventry.

Since 1999, Kairos has walked alongside women facing multiple intersecting disadvantage and therefore subject to, or at risk of, sexual exploitation. Through support, advocacy and community, we work with women to increase options and opportunities, strengthen voice and agency, and empower them to create the futures they want for themselves.

This is an exciting time to join Kairos. We are growing our work through our Women’s Hub, strengthening our specialist support offer, and developing our role as a place of safety, advocacy, community and change for women in Coventry.

About the role

This is a frontline practitioner role providing women-centred, trauma-informed, holistic support.

You will manage a caseload, provide one-to-one support and advocacy, contribute to safeguarding and risk work, support drop-ins and outreach, facilitate group activity, and work closely with partner agencies.

The work is meaningful, challenging and deeply relational. The women we walk alongside are often facing significant trauma, risk, exclusion, crisis and harm. This means the role can be tough. Sometimes very tough. It requires emotional resilience, good boundaries, reflective capacity and the ability to stay grounded when things are complex or uncertain.

But this work is also full of purpose, hope and possibility. At Kairos, you will see the difference that trusted relationships, practical advocacy, women-only spaces and long-term support can make.

Kairos is rooted in feminist values and an analysis of power, inequality and men’s violence against women and girls. Our work is practical and frontline, but it is also activist in nature. We support individual women, and we also seek to challenge the systems, attitudes and injustices that create and sustain harm.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who shares our values of Hope, Compassion, Empowerment, Solidarity, Voice and Justice.

We are not only interested in formal qualifications or traditional career routes. Relevant experience may come from paid work, volunteering, community work, activism, study, caring responsibilities, personal learning or lived experience.

What matters most is your ability to build trust, listen without judgement, hold strong boundaries, manage complexity, advocate clearly, reflect on your practice and work in a way that is rooted in Kairos’ values.

We do not expect anyone to arrive knowing everything. Kairos is a learning organisation, and staff are supported through regular line management, reflective supervision, external clinical supervision and access to relevant training and development.

Diversity, accessibility and lived experience

The voices of women with lived experience are centred in everything that we do. We encourage lived experience across the whole organisation, including volunteers, staff, senior leadership and our board of trustees.

Role 

PSTT’s long term vision is: Excellent primary school teaching in every primary school in the UK.

The goal of PSTT is to make science more accessible and attractive to children of primary school age throughout the UK. Research has shown that children’s interest in science is shaped before they leave primary school. That makes it vital for them to have a positive experience of science from their early years onwards.

The Corporate Partnerships Manager is responsible for developing and implementing plans to maximise income from corporate partners and trusts and foundations There is huge scope to develop both income streams at PSTT as this is a newly created position with the responsibility for growing and further developing these income streams. 

This is an exciting role for a candidate who wants to grow and shape the income stream, and demonstrate their personal impact on generating income, and providing partners with an incredible supporter experience. There will be an element of change as the organisation embeds an internal culture that effectively supports fundraising. 

This specialist manager role would suit someone who is already operating at a senior fundraiser or manager level, or someone who can demonstrate experience of developing a corporate and/or trusts & foundations pipeline, creating operational plans and delivering income.
