We are Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking.

We want to create a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday, local journeys; free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illnesses and social isolation. We want to achieve a better walking environment and to inspire people of all generations to walk and wheel more.

We are seeking a qualified accountant with substantial experience at the Finance Director or senior leadership level who thrives in a fast-paced, values-driven environment.

As the Finance Director, you will bring the skills and experience to provide strategic financial leadership across the organisation and support a step change in our operations to deliver a sustainable future for our charity.

You will ensure effective financial stewardship and reporting and provide leadership on governance across the organisation. You will lead on developing financial business models and plans, improving reporting, and ensuring their successful delivery.

The role requires a dynamic and effective leader to complement and support the Senior Management Team as the charity moves through a period of significant change and transformation.

You will work closely with the Head of Finance to develop and implement financial strategies, financial modelling, improved financial management and reporting, as well as ensuring strong financial control processes across the team.

You will be responsible for overseeing and improving the effective delivery of Finance and Governance functions.

Experience and passion for streamlining operations, systems, and processes will be essential, while fostering a positive culture in a purpose-driven charity.
