Working and forming a very close working relationship with the Managing Director, you'll be heading up both the finance and operations teams and acting as a true business partner across all areas of the business.

Additionally, there is a heavy spin on this position being all things operational, such as overseeing the operational systems, processes, infrastructure, safeguarding, audits, conflict resolution and a handful of ad-hoc projects, so there is plenty to be gettingon with.

From experience, not many of these jobs come to market but having worked with this particular business over the last 5 years, it's a terrific place to work.

Everyone is happy here and with over 90% of the business having 5 years or more of service, it must say a lot about how they operate with culture being at the forefront of their business.

Your decision-making, planning, and negotiating skills as well as lots of problem-solving will be used daily, so these need to be tip-top

Above all else, providing you have a committed and positive outlook and can work with people that will challenge you but reward you in more ways than you can imagine, this would be a perfect job for you.

What you'll get
A competitive basic salary is on offer with a rewarding quarterly bonus scheme.
Private Healthcare is offered for everyone across the business as well as 36 days of annual leave (inc SBH)
