Jobbeschreibung

FINANCE BUSINESS PARTNER

Great finance is about more than the numbers.

We're looking for a Finance Business Partner who knows that strong relationships, good conversations and clear financial insight all matter. This is an opportunity to bring your finance expertise to an organisation with purpose, working across a varied range of services and helping shape decisions about how we use our resources now and for the future.

LOCATION: North Chailey, East Sussex

SALARY: £48,425 - £56,971 per annum, depending on experience

HOURS: 37 hours per week

CONTRACT: Permanent

The Role

You'll work closely with managers and senior leaders across Chailey Heritage Foundation, helping them understand financial performance and make well-informed decisions.

You'll lead on management accounts, budgeting and forecasting, financial analysis and modelling, bringing clarity to complex information and helping colleagues understand what the numbers mean for their area.

Just as importantly, you'll build trusted working relationships across the organisation - asking good questions, bringing a different perspective and knowing when to support, influence or challenge.

You'll also help us improve how we work, identifying opportunities to strengthen reporting, make better use of systems and automation, and improve the efficiency and consistency of our financial processes. As a senior member of the Finance Team, you'll support colleagues within the team, work closely with the Finance Operations Manager and deputise for the Head of Finance when required.

What We're Looking For

You'll be an experienced finance professional who enjoys working with people as much as working with numbers. You'll be comfortable building relationships across an organisation, making complex information accessible and using your expertise to help others make good decisions.

You'll bring:

• Strong experience across management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis
• The confidence and people skills to build effective relationships with colleagues at different levels
• The ability to make financial information clear and accessible to non-finance colleagues
• Strong analytical skills, with experience of financial modelling and using data to provide useful insight
• A proactive approach, good judgement and the confidence to ask questions and challenge when needed
• Strong Excel skills and experience using financial systems and reporting tools
• A recognised professional accounting qualification, such as ACCA or CIMA

Experience within the charity sector and knowledge of charity SORP would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

The rewards go beyond salary

Our benefits package includes:

• 25-30 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service
• Healthcare cash plan and wellbeing support, including 24/7 Doctor Line
• Enhanced pension and death in service benefit
• Enhanced maternity, adoption and paternity leave
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Retail and leisure discounts
• Onsite parking
• Onsite Cafe
