Are you an experienced finance professional who would like to use your skills in a role with real purpose? St Michael’s Hospice is looking for a Finance Manager to lead our day-to-day finance function and help ensure we have the strong financial information, systems and controls we need to support excellent Hospice care.

Working closely with the Finance and Facilities Director, you will play a key role in the smooth running of the finance service. You will manage and support a small finance team, oversee month-end processes and management accounts, support budget holders, prepare for audit and help strengthen financial controls, reporting and processes.

This is a hands-on and varied role, suited to someone who enjoys both the detail of finance and the opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation. You will help managers understand their budgets, provide clear and practical financial advice, and contribute to improvements that support good decision-making and long-term sustainability.

We are looking for someone who is part-qualified, fully qualified or qualified by experience in a recognised accountancy discipline. You will bring experience of financial reporting, budgeting, internal controls, audit preparation and team leadership, together with confidence in using financial systems and electronic databases to interrogate, interpret and present financial information clearly. Just as importantly, you will bring a calm, organised and supportive approach.

If you are looking for a role where your finance expertise will make a meaningful difference, we would be pleased to hear from you. This is an opportunity to join an inclusive, values-led organisation where good financial management directly supports the quality, sustainability and reach of care for people across our community.

At St Michael’s Hospice we offer a friendly, team orientated work environment – a good pension scheme with the option to continue any existing NHS pension scheme membership, an Employee Assistance Programme (Benenden Healthcare), up to 33 days annual leave plus bank holidays, subsidised employee meals and free refreshments, free parking, supportive supervision along with a proactive Education Department to support with your development. Hospice employees also qualify for a Blue Light Card with access to a huge array of discounts.
