Job description

Director of Finance and Commercial
St Luke’s Hospice (Harrow & Brent)
Salary: Circa £95,000 plus pension and benefits
London / Hybrid – 3-4 days on site

St Luke’s Hospice cares for people approaching the end of their life in Harrow and Brent. We aim to give the people we care for the best possible quality of life, every day. Supporting local people and their families is at the heart of what we do – focusing on what matters the most to them is at the centre of our care.

Founded by local communities in 1987, we have been providing free expert end of life care and support to local people both in the community and from our beautiful Kenton Grange building, surrounded by tranquil gardens.

Two thirds of our care is provided in the comfort of peoples’ homes, as we respect that this is where most people would like to be looked after. Our specialist community team of nurses helps people to manage more complex needs whilst our Hospice at Home team supports people to remain in their own homes by providing practical care and support.

Our inpatient unit (IPU) at Kenton Grange cares for people in their final days, providing intensive care to help get symptoms under control or give respite care. Many of the people who are cared for in our IPU go home again.

You will be joining an organisation at an exciting stage of its journey, with a new strategy in place and a strong focus on doing great things for its community. Supported by our dedicated team of staff, volunteers and trustees, St Luke’s Hospice strives to provide high-quality, compassionate hospice care to people in Brent and Harrow.

The Finance and Commercial Director will play a leading role in developing the long-term financial viability and operational resilience of the charity, including financial, commercial, estates, facilities, IT and information risk.

The ideal candidate will be a confident, visible and accessible senior finance leader who is able to inspire, motivate and empower others with professional leadership.

If you feel inspired by the idea of joining our team, and can be a strong and influential leader, we would love to hear from you.
