Head of Finance 

Our ambitious and creative team has been working hard over the last year to expand our work to help more people in need across Sussex and Surrey. FareShare is the UK’s biggest surplus food charity and today we find ourselves on the front line of an environmental and socio economic crisis. As our work grows, so does our need for strong financial management. 

We are looking for a talented, passionate person to join our Senior Leadership Team to oversee our finance operations. With more growth planned over the next 2 years we want to find someone who has the experience to oversee the day to day finances of a large regional charity and to lead and develop our finance staff. This role will provide a stable platform for growth. 

Using your can-do attitude, mixed with excellent communication, organisational and administration skills, you’ll focus on supporting our CEO and Trustees across our sites. The role includes tasks such as producing monthly management accounts, oversight of payroll, management of our internal financial controls, Year End reporting preparation and leading our small team in the general smooth running of finances. This is a part-time role with the potential to increase as we expand. 

If you are looking for a new role in an upbeat, innovative charity with strong vision, ambition, a fantastic culture and leadership team. Look no further…
