We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established social housing organisation seeking a commercially minded Finance Business Partner to support one of its key operational directorates. Working closely with senior budget holders, you'll become a trusted adviser, helping shape financial performance through insightful reporting, forecasting and business partnering.

Developing meaningful KPIs and performance reporting
Supporting business planning
Preparing regulatory and statutory financial returns
Building strong relationships across the wider organisation
Contributing to continuous improvement projects within finance

Confident working with senior operational stakeholders
Comfortable explaining financial information to non-finance colleagues

Salary £53,000
Hybrid/agile working
35-hour working week
Excellent pension and benefits package
