Aylesbury, United Kingdom AgeUK Buckinghamshire Full time

**JOB DESCRIPTION**

**Finance Lead**

**Reporting to**:CEO
**Salary**:£35,000
**Terms**: Permanent
**Hours of work**:Full time (flexible)

**Background**

Age UK Buckinghamshire’s mission is to make Bucks _the_ place to age well.

We will do this by working together to improve older adults’ physical, cognitive, social and financial ‘health’, so they can achieve and maintain their independence and sense of well-being for longer.

We currently support older adults with a range of services, including an Information and Advice line, Welfare Benefits service, a Befriending service supported by 200 volunteers, Home Services referrals to a team of verified housekeepers, gardeners and handypeople, and a hospital discharge support service which features from-hospital transport and in-home support.

But we want to do more, for more people, and move the narrative from the ‘inevitable slow decline’ of older age, to one focused on practical ways to age-better and love later life.

While we have grown as an organisation recently, doubling our income, expanding our services and increasing staff numbers as we endeavour to meet the needs of older people in the county, we have also experienced growing pains, and this new Finance Lead role is designed to help us manage this growth with the appropriate processes, systems and resources to deliver a sustainable charity running services at ‘full cost recovery’ and increasing its income generating capability. The role reports to the CEO and will work closely with the senior leadership team and Treasurer trustee.

**The role**

This role will provide key leadership, management and support of the Finance department, supervising and training relevant members of the finance department to produce budgets, analysis, reporting and finance related insight and rigour across our services and activities. The key task will be to ensure the charity can meet its objective to create a sustainable organisation for the long term, running key services at full cost recovery, ensuring rigorous processes and adopting new systems to deliver automation and efficiency, and supporting the organisation to achieve challenging income growth targets.

You will take a strategic view of our systems and processes and provide clear and timely management accounts and analysis to the CEO and board of trustees. You will be able to manage multiple priorities, work to deadlines and have a keen eye for detail. It is an essential aspect of the role that you can communicate across the organisation at all levels, using language and terminology that is both accessible and empowering.

**Job purpose**

Develop and transform our finance department to ensure delivery of a sustainable charity in the long term, transforming our ability to deliver services at full cost recovery and supporting our income
- generating potential and targets.

**Main tasks and responsibilities**
Financial planning, strategy and governance:

- Oversee the timely financial monitoring, evaluation and reporting of the charity's performance in relation to the charity's strategic priorities and business plans.
