Gleeson are delighted to be supporting an established Not For Profit organisation in Leicestershire to recruit an Interim Head of Finance on a 12-month FTC basis.

This is a broad and visible role, reporting into the Director of Finance & Governance, offering the opportunity to oversee a well-established finance function while helping shape its future direction.

Interim Head of Finance Responsibilities:

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the finance function, while also identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems and overall efficiency.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Overseeing BAU finance operations and ensuring strong financial control
  • Supporting year-end and maintaining compliance with FRS 102
  • Reviewing and improving finance processes, systems and reporting
  • Supporting the business through a premises move, including lease accounting considerations
  • Partnering with stakeholders across the organisation to support decision-making
  • Contributing to the longer-term development of the finance function
We want to hear from you if you have the following attributes:
  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA). QBE will be considered only for exceptional, experienced candidates who come from a NFP background
  • Strong, current understanding of FRS 102 is essential
  • Experience with lease accounting and/or workplace changes
  • Proven ability to manage and deliver change in a measured way
  • Strong stakeholder management skills
  • Experience within charity/NFP or similar environments is highly advantageous
This role would suit someone who enjoys balancing operational delivery with continuous improvement, and who can drive positive change while bringing people on the journey.

For this role, please note:
  • Candidates must have full right to work in the UK without the need for any sponsorship.
  • Candidates must be based within a reasonable commuting distance of Leicester to accommodate 2 days onsite minimum - this is non-negotiable.
  • CVs clearly demonstrating a local base will be prioritised.
At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we embrace inclusivity and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We are proud to be a disability confident employer.
