Who we are

Walsingham Support has been supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs across England and Wales for over 39 years. We pride ourselves on putting people at the heart of what we do, enabling us to deliver truly person centred support solutions that increase independence and improve quality of life. The Charity is led by an executive team that has delivered plans over the last two years to ensure the organisation is financially sustainable while we drive transformation in the way we operate and provide services. Social care continues to evolve, and we want to be working at the leading edge of this, innovating and building services around the needs and choices of the people we support.

We recognise that to do this, we need to develop our internal systems and processes and ensure that our teams are supported and enabled to innovate and be creative in the way services are delivered.

About the role

The Director of Finance and Transformation is central to helping us deliver this, as a member of the executive leadership team, leading not only Walsingham Support's financial management and planning but also driving the significant organisational change agenda embedded in the 5 year strategy.

You will be responsible for leading the teams across Finance, IT, Project Management & Change and Service Support. We are looking for an experienced finance professional with strong experience in delivering digital transformation and organisational growth and development in previous roles.

Who we are looking for

As important as your technical skills and experience is, your approach will be collaborative and inclusive, and your measure of success will be focused as much on the outcomes and impact for the people we support as the financial targets. We are a leadership team that embraces and leads change, and we do this by helping our teams on the journey.

This is a role that offers a vast amount of scope and opportunities to have a tangible impact on the people we support and on the organisation's success. It comes with plenty of challenges and demands, but the reward is the personal impact that you can have.

We're seeking an experienced professional with a strong track record of delivering organisational growth and development. Working with a dedicated team, you'll be empowered to challenge the status quo, innovate, and deliver excellent financial performance. Our culture embraces challenge and creativity, with a willingness to try new approaches until we find what works best.

We're committed to increasing diversity in our leadership team and encourage applications regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, age or religion or belief. We encourage disabled candidates to apply under the Disability Confident Scheme.

If you're excited about this challenge and believe you can help us support more people with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs, we encourage you to apply. We look forward to hearing more about how you can contribute to our mission of making sure the people we support lead fulfilling and happy lives in their terms.
