We are looking for a competent, experienced finance lead to oversee the financial performance of the Trust and ensure that all financial processes are compliant with the financial control requirements of the Charity Commission. As part of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) you will play a key role in achieving the strategic direction and sustainability of the Trust and will have responsibility for all financial functions of the Trust. A key element of this role is to work with the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees on setting up a separate entity associated with the Trust, e.g., Community Interest Company to manage our housing portfolio in the long-term.

- Experience with financial controls, audit processes and compliance.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and Trustees.
