* Team leadership: Manage and mentor a high-performing finance team and build financial capability across the organisation.
Person specification:
* Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CCAB equivalent).
* Strong knowledge of UK charity SORP, grant compliance and multi-currency budgeting and forecasting.
* Excellent communicator, confident in presenting financial information to non-finance audiences, senior leadership and donors.
