Full job description

Head of Finance

Location: Hybrid, a mixture of remote working and office-based at Solar House, 3rd Floor, 1-9 Romford Rd, London, E15 4LJ.

Hours: 3 or 4 days a week, negotiable

Salary: Up to £62,500 (pro rata)

Closing date of advert: 20 July 2026

Interview Dates: TBC

Our mission at School-Home Support is simple. We get children and young people back in school, ready to learn, whatever it takes. Every role in our organisation helps make that happen.

We are looking for a Head of Finance to act as our financial conscience and strategic navigator.

As the Head of Finance, you will provide strategic financial leadership while ensuring our day-to-day operations are exceptionally robust. You will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, line-manage a Senior Finance Manager, as well as working closely with our Board of Trustees.

In this role, you will be expected to serve as the organisation's financial conscience, ensuring absolute transparency, integrity, and strict adherence to UK fundraising regulations. Looking ahead, you will also play a key role in analysing commercial opportunities to drive new business growth.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Stewardship: Manage general ledgers, reserves, budgeting, and long-term financial modelling.
Governance & Trustees: Work closely with the Board, Finance Committee, and Remuneration Committee.
Compliance & Legal: Ensure complete adherence to HMRC, Charity Commission, and Charities SORP requirements.
Risk Management: Maintain and update the Risk Register to protect charity assets.
New Business & Commercial Growth: Provide costings and commercial modelling for new tenders and products.
Team Leadership: Oversee the internal finance team and third-party payroll providers.
About You
Qualifications: You are a fully qualified CCAB or CIMA accountant with extensive post-qualification experience.
Sector Knowledge: You have a proven track record in a senior charity finance role managing statutory accounts over full year cycles.
Regulatory Expertise: You fully understand UK fundraising regulations, charity governance, and company law.
Commercial Mindset: You can confidently support non-finance departments with commercial analysis to secure new contracts.
Systems Experience: Experience with Sage and Salesforce is highly desirable

What We Offer
We really value modern workplace flexibility. This permanent role is offered as a 3 or 4 days per week part-time position, with a hybrid working pattern split between remote work and our office in Stratford, London.

We actively support staff wellbeing and champion a safe, diverse culture where everyone can be themselves. Here is what we offer our team:

Employee Assistance Programme, providing confidential support for you and your family
Life assurance for added financial security
Pension scheme
A structured induction and ongoing professional development
A supportive and collaborative team environment where your experience and ideas are valued
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of children, young people and families

Applications are reviewed continually, and we reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date, so early applications are strongly encouraged.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Please email [email protected] or call the People team on 020 7426 5000 if you need any special arrangements or adjustments to help you take part in this recruitment process.

School-Home Support takes the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children very seriously, and is committed to ensuring that our safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice. Our safeguarding policy recognises that the welfare and interests of children are paramount in all circumstances.

All roles at SHS are subject to a DBS check at the level appropriate to the role.
