Job description

Citizens Advice Sandwell and Walsall are seeking an experienced senior finance leader

Citizens Advice Sandwell and Walsall are seeking an experienced senior finance leader to help shape the next stage of our growth. This is an opportunity to influence the direction of an ambitious charity and ensure strong financial leadership and effective governance underpin services that make a lasting difference to our communities.

Working closely with our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Management Team and Board of Trustees, you will lead finance, compliance and internal audits.

We’re looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with a practical approach to delivery. You will bring senior finance leadership experience, a strong understanding of charity finance, compliance and the confidence to advise and constructively challenge at executive and Board level.

Having secured more than £1 million in additional funding over the last 18 months, we are expanding our reach and developing new opportunities. You will play a central part in building the financial resilience and organisational capability to sustain that progress.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Proof of eligibility will be required before employment begins.

We may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to apply as soon as you can if you are interested in the role.

We appreciate your interest in this opportunity and wish you all the best with your application!
