Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference in the housing community?

We’re on the hunt for a dedicated and enthusiastic Financial Services Manager to join our amazing Finance and Resources team at Fairhive on an 18-month fixed-term contract, playing a key role in supporting a major Housing Management Project.

If you enjoy helping others, working in a supportive environment, and contributing to meaningful projects, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the role…

This is a unique opportunity to provide leadership across two management functions within the Financial Services team. Whilst the role is graded at R8 to reflect the more senior responsibilities, the successful candidate will also provide cover across a lower-grade management position. As a result, we're looking for a flexible, adaptable leader who is equally comfortable with strategic oversight and hands-on operational management.

Reporting to the Assistant Director of Finance, you'll oversee critical financial operations, ensuring the integrity and effective management of key income, payment and accounting systems. You'll play a vital role in maintaining robust financial controls, supporting cash flow management, payroll governance, tax compliance, rent accounting, creditor payments and statutory reporting.

Working closely with finance colleagues across the business, you'll help lead and develop the Financial Services team, co-managing staff and ensuring excellent customer service, operational efficiency and continuous improvement. You'll also support the delivery of project objectives linked to the Housing Management Project budget.

About you...

We're looking for someone who can quickly build credibility, manage competing priorities and confidently operate across both strategic and operational areas.

You'll ideally have:

A recognised professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
Significant experience in financial services, accounting or finance operations.
Proven people management and leadership experience.
Strong technical accounting knowledge and financial control expertise.
Experience managing complex financial processes, reconciliations and compliance activities.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
A proactive, flexible approach with the ability to adapt to varying management responsibilities.
A commitment to delivering excellent customer service and continuous improvement.
