Lead Finance. Shape Strategy. Change Lives.

We are delighted to be partnering with an ambitious and growing charity to recruit a Director of Finance. This is a rare opportunity to join a values-led organisation delivering vital homelessness, housing and care services, and to play a key role in shaping its future.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will provide strategic financial leadership across a complex organisation with a turnover of £20–25m. Working closely with the Chief Executive, Board of Trustees and senior colleagues, you will ensure the organisation remains financially strong, sustainable and well-positioned to expand its impact.

This role offers the chance to influence strategic decision-making at the highest level while leading a dedicated finance team and driving continuous improvement across financial systems, controls and reporting.

The Opportunity

You will:

  * Lead the organisation’s financial strategy, planning and performance.

  * Oversee annual budgets, forecasting, cashflow management and long-term financial sustainability.

  * Provide expert financial advice and challenge to the Board, Trustees and Senior Leadership Team.

  * Lead financial input into major bids, contracts, grants and business development opportunities.

  * Ensure robust financial controls, governance and regulatory compliance.

  * Oversee statutory accounts, audits and financial reporting.

  * Develop and support the finance team, promoting a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

  * Drive financial awareness and accountability across the organisation.

About You

We are looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA) with a proven track record of operating in a senior finance leadership role.

You will bring:

  * Significant experience of strategic financial leadership and business planning.

  * Strong commercial and financial acumen, including forecasting, modelling and risk management.

  * Experience leading finance teams and improving systems, controls and processes.

  * The ability to influence, challenge and build credibility with senior stakeholders and Boards.

  * Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex financial information for non-financial audiences.

  * A collaborative and values-driven approach to leadership.

Experience within the charity, housing, homelessness, supported housing or social care sectors would be advantageous but is not essential
