We are determined to strengthen and expand this provision, ensuring that no family faces these challenges alone.

About the role

Your work will span all areas including bookkeeping, financial management and reporting, statutory accounting, budgeting, grant management, and charities commission governance and compliance. In short, it is a very hands-on role.

We are seeking the right person to join our Senior Leadership Team and lead the charity’s finance and governance functions. This is a pivotal role focused on ensuring financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and effective charity governance. You will play a strategic role in supporting the organisation’s mission by enabling robust financial planning, reporting, and operational support. You will work closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Board of Trustees, and Programmes Lead to ensure the charity remains financially resilient and well-governed.

This job is for you if you possess expertise in financial control and reporting, allowing you to effectively handle delegated responsibilities. Your numerical skills and critical thinking abilities will enable you to proactively address challenges and streamline processes. You will be proactive, reliable and adaptable and you will be comfortable using a range of IT tools and working in a remote, global environment.

Working closely with our UK and international team, as well as our global network of volunteers and partners, clear communication and cultural awareness are also important.
