Key Responsibilities:

Lead all financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and treasury management activities.
Prepare annual statutory accounts and oversee financial controls, payroll and financial procedures.
Provide financial advice and support to senior leadership and governing members.
Lead and develop the finance team whilst promoting continuous improvement across systems and processes.

Proven people leadership and stakeholder management skills.
Experience of Sage accounting software would be advantageous.
Ability to speak Welsh confidently is highly desirable.
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and challenge stakeholders where required.
Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to take on a highly visible leadership role within a values-led organisation making a positive impact across Wales. You'll have the autonomy to influence financial strategy whilst working in a collaborative and supportive environment where outcomes matter more than micromanagement.

The organisation offers genuine flexibility, including hybrid working (typically 2-3 days from home following an initial onboarding period), flexible start and finish times, and a trusting leadership style that empowers individuals to manage their own workload and deliver results.

Benefits:

Salary of £60,000 - £66,000.
Hybrid working with flexibility around start and finish times.
Generous annual leave entitlement.
Pension scheme.
