About us
The Earthshot Prize is the world’s most impactful and prestigious environmental award. At the heart of our mission is a simple equation: Urgency + Optimism = Action
Inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s moonshot challenge, The Earthshot Prize is designed to mobilise a decade of action for the planet. We identify, celebrate, and back ambitious climate leadership from every corner of the globe. From Indigenous communities to city leaders, entrepreneurs to governments, they are all working to solve our planet’s greatest challenges.

Help Shape the Future of a Charity Changing Women's Lives
At My Sisters' House Women's Centre, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to live free from abuse, rebuild her confidence, and create a safer future for herself and her family.
For more than 14 years, we have supported women across West Sussex facing domestic abuse, trauma, poor mental health, multiple disadvantage, and complex life challenges. Around 2,000 women turn to us each year at a time of crisis or hardship, and our trauma-informed services provide practical support, advocacy, counselling, wellbeing activities, and pathways to long-term recovery.
We're now looking for an experienced Head of Finance to join our Executive Team and help keep our organisation financially strong, sustainable and ambitious for the women we serve. This is more than a finance role — it's an opportunity to play a key part in an organisation where every decision contributes to improving women's safety, wellbeing and life chances.
The Role
Overseeing an annual budget of circa £1m, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for all aspects of MSH's financial management. Working closely with the CEO, Board of Trustees, Finance Committee and Senior Leadership Team, you will help guide financial decision-making and ensure resources are used effectively to maximise impact.
You will lead the day-to-day finance function, including line management of one part-time Finance Officer, while contributing to the wider strategic development of the charity. This role suits someone comfortable with both the detail and the bigger picture — producing management accounts, overseeing financial controls and audit processes, and contributing to strategic discussions about future services, funding and organisational development.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and managing the charity's finance function.
- Producing accurate and timely management accounts, forecasts and financial reports.
- Supporting the CEO, Finance Committee and Board of Trustees with financial insight and strategic advice.
- Leading budget-setting, monitoring and long-term financial planning.
- Managing cash flow, reserves and financial risk.
- Supporting funding applications, tenders and grant reporting with robust financial modelling.
- Ensuring effective financial controls, systems, policies and compliance arrangements are in place.
- Leading the annual audit process and preparation of statutory accounts.
- Overseeing payroll and pension processes.
- Supporting budget holders to understand and manage their budgets confidently.
- Identifying opportunities for efficiencies, improvement and sustainable growth.
What You'll Bring
- Significant experience in a senior finance role within the charity, public or not-for-profit sector, or a comparable environment.
- A professional finance qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or ACA, or qualified by experience with equivalent demonstrable financial management ability.
- Strong expertise in management accounting, budgeting, forecasting, financial controls and reporting.
- Experience working with auditors, trustees and senior stakeholders.
- The ability to translate financial information into clear, practical advice for non-finance colleagues.
- Excellent analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
- Experience leading and developing finance systems and processes.
- Most importantly, a belief in the power of specialist women's services and motivation to make a difference through your work.
What's on Offer
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
- A supportive and inclusive workplace culture.
- 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays (pro rata).
- Employer pension contribution of 3%.
- Employee Assistance Programme.
- The opportunity to influence key strategic decisions.
- A meaningful role where your expertise directly contributes to saving lives.
- Ongoing professional development opportunities.
- The chance to be part of a respected charity with strong local partnerships and a growing reputation for innovation and excellence.

Finance isn't just about numbers. It's about making change possible.
At Bond, we believe a more just and equitable world is possible.
As the UK network for organisations working in international development, we bring together more than 300 civil society organisations united by a shared ambition: to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice around the world. We champion the sector, influence policy, strengthen organisations and create the connections that enable our members to achieve greater impact together.
International development is changing.
Funding is becoming more complex. Expectations are growing. Organisations are navigating increasing uncertainty while responding to global crises that demand collaboration, innovation and resilience.
That is why we're looking for an exceptional Director of Finance & Resources.
This is a rare opportunity to join our Senior Management Team and help shape the future of Bond at a pivotal moment in our journey.
A leadership role with purpose
As our Director of Finance & Resources, you'll do far more than lead finance.
You'll help ensure Bond remains financially resilient, operationally strong and strategically focused so that we can continue supporting the organisations working to create lasting global change.
Working closely with our CEO, Trustees and senior colleagues, you'll provide the financial leadership, organisational insight and strategic challenge that enables confident decision-making across the organisation.
You'll oversee Finance, Planning, Operations, HR and IT, ensuring the systems, people and financial governance behind our work are as strong as the mission we exist to serve.
What you'll be doing
You'll lead:
- Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
- Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
- Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
- Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
- Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
- Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
- Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
- Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.
This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.
Who we're looking for
You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.
You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.
You'll bring:
- Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
- Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
- Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
- Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
- A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.
Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.
Why Bond?
Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.
You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.
Alongside meaningful work, we offer:
- Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
- 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
- 7% employer pension contribution.
- Learning and development opportunities.
- Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
- A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.
Join us
This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.
If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.
