Job description

Fractional CFO / FD

If you're the kind of Fractional Chief Finance Officer who enjoys rolling up your sleeves as much as shaping long-term strategy, this might be the one for you.

The role requires 2 days per week for an initial 6‑month contract, with at least one of those days spent on site in Leeds. You'll have the freedom and seniority to influence the future of a large, respected social care organisation, and you'll be paid competitively for work that genuinely changes lives.

This is a chance to step into a social enterprise at a pivotal moment. The organisation is navigating sector‑wide change and needs a Fractional CFO/FD who can steady the ship, build future resilience, and create a financial strategy that supports high‑quality, values‑led care. You'll work directly with the CEO and senior leadership team, and you'll have a strong voice at the Board level from day one.

You will blend strategic and hands‑on finance. You'll lead financial planning, reshape budgeting and forecasting, own the 26/27 budget setting process, and tighten controls, reporting, and governance. You'll review performance, oversee cash flow, guide pricing and contract strategy, and use financial insight to influence decisions that will shape the next decade. You'll also be someone a small finance team can look to for practical direction and pastoral support.

You will thrive here if you've already operated as a CFO or Finance Director, ideally in social care, health, or any regulated, contract‑funded environment. You'll be comfortable working at pace, managing risk, guiding transformation, and representing the organisation with commissioners, local authorities, and sector partners. You'll bring sound judgement, strong commercial thinking, and the ability to translate complex financial narratives into something everyone can understand – without losing confidence or credibility.

In return, you'll get a role with purpose, visibility, and influence. A platform to steady and strengthen an organisation with a clear social mission. And the flexibility that comes with a well‑designed fractional brief.

If this sounds like the kind of challenge you'd enjoy, apply now or contact Karen for more details.
