Finance Business Partner

Are you a qualified accountant with a passion for turning data into insight? Join Barnardo's as a Finance Business Partner and play a key role in shaping the future of our organisation.

In this pivotal role, you'll partner with leaders across our Retail organisation which manages more than 500 stores country wide, as well as other directorates in the charity, providing the financial analysis and advice they need to make informed decisions. You'll lead on budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting, ensuring our plans align with strategic aims and deliver real impact.

• Deliver high-quality financial planning, analysis, and reporting.
• Transform complex data into actionable insights for senior stakeholders.
• Champion best practice in financial and behavioural performance monitoring.
• Support strategic projects and drive service improvement initiatives.
• Build strong relationships across the organisation to influence decision-making.

• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA qualified, with at least 3 years' experience in a large, diverse organisation.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with financial systems (MS Dynamics preferred).
• Strong analytical ability and excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to present complex financial information clearly and persuasively.
• Flexible, collaborative, and able to work to tight deadlines.

Experience in the charity or public sector is desirable but not essential.

You'll join a team committed to making a difference for children and families across the UK. We offer a supportive environment, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to contribute to meaningful change.

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band - this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.

Our hybrid working initiative is based on trust, flexibility and empowerment. We understand our workplace offer means different things to different people, and we encourage those conversations. This may mean working at one of our stores, services, working at home, in the community, at one of our Collaboration Hubs or depending on the role any combination of these. Please read through the advert carefully to understand the remits of hybrid working that will be specific to the role.
