This is a rare opportunity to take the helm of the finance function of a private charity whose buildings have recently undergone significant expansion and development, thereby maximising customer care and output. This charity provides a significant private service as well as having supply contracts with the NHS.

The incoming Finance Manager will be a significant part of the Senior Management Team, as well as being Clerk to the Trustees and sitting on the Finance Committee.

• Preparation of quarterly financial reports to the Council of the charity
• Preparation of annual budget plan in conjunction with colleagues
• Monthly management accounts
• Supervision of payroll systems
• Invoice production
• Deputising for the CEO as requested
• Managing Finance, Store-keeping, HR and external maintenance departments
• Organising of establishment systems e.g. IT and telephony

This is a 24 hour operation, and as part of the Senior Team, the post-holder is expected to be responsive in a constantly changing environment. Previous experience as a Company Secretary and of managing IT systems is desirable. A knowledge of health care services and the care sector would be helpful.

Benefits include a 5% non-contributory pension, 28 days holiday + Bank Holidays and own parking space.
