Are you looking for a new challenge and want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with a visible difference?
Changing Faces are looking for someone with a strategic mindset, who will be a key member of the Senior Management Team and delivering on our two strategic goals:
- Everyone across the UK with a visible difference or disfigurement will have access to the support they need
- We will significantly increase everyone’s understanding and acceptance of visible difference and disfigurement, and reduce prejudice and discrimination
The new Head of Finance and Resources will have responsibility for a high-quality finance and business support service including managing HR, IT and facilities. We are a small organisation so you will need to be prepared to be operationally “hands-on”, and to work collaboratively and flexibly across the whole organisation to help enable our success. We are also always looking to improve our systems, and so the right candidate will also be passionate about continual development of processes to best meet the needs of the organisation and those we support.
Overall Purpose of the Role
- Responsible for leading and managing a high-quality finance and business support service encompassing IT, HR, and Facilities.
- To play a leading role as a member of the Leadership team to ensure Changing Faces achieves its strategic goals and vision.
- To continue the improvement in processes and systems within the Finance and Resources function to increase effectiveness, improve reporting, add value, and thereby reduce manual processes.
About Changing Faces
Changing Faces is the UK’s leading charity for everyone who has a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different (a visible difference). Being different in a society where there is such pressure to look a certain way is extremely difficult.
We provide unique practical, social and emotional support for people affected by visible difference; we challenge discrimination and campaign for a world that respects difference.
Our services build confidence and resilience – giving people the tools to manage their feelings, cope in different social settings, handle other people’s reactions or deal with life, education, work and relationships.
We won’t stop until everyone with a visible difference or disfigurement is supported and respected.
Equality and inclusion are at the heart of our mission and we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds, including those with a visible difference or disfigurement, to join us. In line with our commitments to equity, we are particularly seeking applications from People of Colour / BAME and LGBTIQA+ people. We have a flexible working culture which, as a member of the leadership team, this role will play a leading role overseeing. We are open to conversations about how this could apply to this role.
If you share our commitment, bring the skills and leadership qualities we are seeking and are excited by our vision we’d love to hear from you.
