Overview

At Young Roots, we want to see a compassionate and welcoming society for young people seeking safety. We work alongside young refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, building trusted relationships, providing practical and emotional support and promoting young people's rights and power. 

Our youth hubs and casework are transformative for young refugees, enabling young people who have fled danger, experienced traumatic journeys, and are often here alone to find community and connection, a space to be a young person, and access support to address a range of practical challenges they face. We also draw on our evidence from working every day with young refugees and asylum seekers to call for change to the laws and policies which are harming young people. 

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced finance professional to play a vital role in ensuring Young Roots can continue delivering life-changing support to young people seeking safety.

As our Finance Lead*, you'll be the go-to finance expert, keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly while translating complex financial data into accessible insights that empower our teams and leadership to make informed decisions. You'll manage everything from month-end processes and statutory accounts to cash flow forecasting and funder reporting, ensuring financial integrity through robust systems and controls.

This isn't just number-crunching – you'll be a trusted finance partner, working collaboratively across the organisation to support effective budget management, shape future initiatives, and ultimately help us maximise our impact for young refugees and asylum seekers.

The role requires proven experience in charity finance, including independently managing month-end processes, producing statutory accounts in accordance with Charity SORP, and managing grant funding. You'll need an accounting qualification (AAT Level 4, full- or part-qualified ACCA/CIMA, or equivalent by experience) and hands-on experience with accounting systems such as Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can communicate financial information in ways that make sense to non-finance audiences, work confidently with senior stakeholders, and is motivated by supporting our mission.

We welcome applications from candidates with diverse career paths. If you've gained relevant skills through non-traditional routes or timeframes, we encourage you to apply. 

This is a permanent role offering 21-35 hours per week (0.6-1.0 FTE); we're open to any hours within this range. The role is hybrid, with two days at one of our London offices. Salary is £40,973-£45,199 per annum pro rata.

*Other organisations may call this role Finance Manager, Finance Business Partner or Financial Controller. 

How to apply

Please submit your CV and a personal statement by the closing date outlining how you would be a great fit for the role. 

Your personal statement should be no more than 800 words, answering the following questions:

1. What is your motivation for working with Young Roots?
2. What is your motivation for applying for this role specifically?
3. What skills and experience would you bring that will enable you to be successful in this role?

Please ensure you refer to the minimum requirements on the person specification and provide examples to demonstrate how and where you meet the criteria.

About MSF UK

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides life-saving medical care to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF UK exists to maximise the support we provide to this work — by raising funds, advocating for patients, and ensuring our organisation is strong, effective and accountable.

MSF UK has grown significantly over the past 5 years, almost doubling our income to just under £100m. MSF UK is entering an ambitious new strategic period to 2031, with a clear goal: to significantly grow our income and maximise the financial contribution we make to MSF’s medical humanitarian operations. Finance has a critical role to play in achieving this.

The Role

This is a newly created senior leadership role and a rare opportunity to shape how financial insight drives humanitarian impact.

As Head of Financial Planning & Analysis, you will build and lead MSF UK’s FP&A function, ensuring that resources are used wisely, investment decisions are evidence-based, and financial insight empowers colleagues to make the best possible decisions for our patients.

You will work at the heart of the organisation — partnering with senior leaders, fundraising teams and budget holders — to translate strategy into robust financial plans and ensure every pound raised delivers maximum impact.

What You’ll Do

You will lead MSF UK’s FP&A function to support better decisions, stronger financial sustainability and greater humanitarian impact. This includes:

• Driving strategic insight: providing clear financial analysis, modelling and advice to inform investment decisions, income growth and value for money.
• Leading planning and forecasting: owning MSF UK’s budgeting, reforecasting and multi-year financial planning processes.
• Strengthening financial reporting: ensuring timely, accurate and meaningful management accounts, KPIs and commentary for senior leaders and trustees.
• Partnering with the organisation: acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, managers and budget holders, strengthening financial literacy and accountability.
• Identifying efficiencies: working collaboratively to uncover opportunities for cost savings and improved use of resources.
• Building capability: line managing and developing the Finance Business Partner and continuously improving FP&A processes, tools and ways of working.

About You

You are a fully qualified accountant (CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with significant experience in FP&A and a strong track record of using financial insight to influence decisions at senior level.

You combine technical excellence with empathy and purpose. You are comfortable working in complexity, skilled at explaining finance to non-financial colleagues, and motivated by using your expertise to support a mission that truly matters.

Why Join MSF UK?

You’ll join a values-driven organisation where finance is seen not just as a control function, but as a strategic enabler of humanitarian impact. You’ll be trusted to shape a function, influence decisions, and help ensure MSF reaches more patients, more effectively.

If you are motivated by MSF’s mission, thrive in collaborative environments, and want your financial leadership to make a tangible difference in the world, we would love to hear from you.
