Overview
Head of Finance
South Yorkshire | Full-Time
c£90,000
Shape financial strategy at the heart of a purpose-driven, multi-site organisation. Elevation Recruitment Group is delighted to be partnering with a growing, people-focused business in their search for a Head of Finance. This is a senior leadership opportunity within an organisation that blends commercial ambition with a strong social mission. Reporting directly to the ownership, you’ll play a central role in guiding the financial health and growth of the organisation. You’ll work closely with senior operational leaders across the group, bringing insight, rigour, and a commercial lens to support sustainable expansion and service excellence.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Head of Finance, you’ll take full ownership of the finance function while driving strategic performance across the business.
* Lead financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis
* Act as a commercial partner – identifying growth opportunities and optimising margins
* Oversee core finance operations including cashflow, P&L, and statutory reporting
* Maintain strong financial controls and ensure regulatory compliance (CQC, HMRC, local authorities)
* Drive finance transformation, including systems upgrades and process improvements
* Manage and develop a small, capable finance team
* Provide insightful board-level reporting and financial advice on investments and business scaling
What We’re Looking For
* ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified
* 10+ years in senior finance roles, ideally within multi-site or service-led businesses
* Strong commercial acumen with a track record of driving performance and efficiency
* Confident working at both strategic and operational levels
* Skilled in systems improvement, financial reporting, and stakeholder management
* Experience in sectors such as care, healthcare, hospitality, or retail is beneficial
Why This Role Stands Out
What sets this role apart is the balance it offers between influence, autonomy, and impact. You’ll be joining a leadership environment that values clear thinking, proactive problem-solving, and smart decision-making – without the constraints of red tape. There’s real scope to modernise processes, introduce improved systems, and shape how finance supports the wider business. If you’re looking for a role where your ideas are heard, your skills are trusted, and your work directly contributes to better outcomes, this is a genuinely rewarding next step.
