A key board level position in a sector undergoing extensive change.
Community Integrated Care is a Health and Social Care Charity which provides care and support to thousands of people across England and Scotland.
Role description
Your challenge is to lead a commercially focused, partner driven finance function in a not for profit values driven organisation. Key operational decisions, for example, around the nature of services that are commissioned, will be common place in order to ensure that front line services continue to evolve in line with changes in the marketplace. This is a key role within the Executive Team and as such you will be instrumental in the success of the five year strategy. The ability of Community Integrated Care to make more sophisticated, commercially focussed decisions, both in terms of new and current service offerings will be driven by the rigour, quality and style of delivery from the finance team as the sector goes through some major changes.

The role will assume responsibility for Finance, IT, Procurement, Property and Fleet, meaning that a strong sense of leadership will be critical. This strength of personality will be further tested by the breadth of finance knowledge and experience amongst the Board of Trustees; confidence and clear communication skills are a must.

The delivery of a broader service at a lower cost spans a range of organisations, meaning that ultimately your experience will have been drawn from a variety of sectors. Whilst a sense of empathy towards the fundamental principles of the charity is clearly pivotal, the ability to drive and implement change is also central. A proven ability of operating as a Finance Director, coupled with the confidence to assume a symbiotic relationship with a strong and visionary Chief Executive are key, as is your ability to do this without it being at the expense of knowing the detail.
