Head of Finance

Annual Salary:  £42,240 - £52,800 per annum ​

Location: Norwich

Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week

Contract: Permanent

As EAAA has grown and enhanced its lifesaving services by providing 24/7 emergency helicopter cover across East Anglia, the financial volumes and complexities of the Charity have grown too.  We believe that Finance should deliver value above and beyond the basic requirements – Finance is here to help deliver the goals of the Charity, not simply report on the costs. We are therefore seeking to add to the services and support we provide to the Charity, through bringing in additional expertise and updating systems and processes.  If you have a passion for providing great service and are seeking an opportunity to play your part in taking our finance systems and processes forward, then we have some great roles on offer.

Reporting to the Finance Director you will be responsible for leading EAAA’s finance team, optimising processes, systems and reporting to deliver an excellent finance service to the Charity.  You will be the Charity’s main point of contact for finance, together with the preparation, development and analysis of key financial information.  You will support the Charity’s Managers, Executive Team and Trustees to make well-informed decisions regarding service development, future stability and sustainability by providing an overview of all financial plans, risks and opportunities. 

You will be CCAB (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA) qualified or part qualified with significant experience of managing a finance function including the delivery of finance processes and outputs, including month end, year end statutory accounts, budgets, forecasts and information for third party returns.

We are immensely proud to have been listed as the number one charity to work for in the 2021 Best Companies list for the national Charity Sector. East Anglian Air Ambulance not only operates with total patient focus but provides a supportive working environment where everyone can develop and make a difference – Together We Save Lives.

For an informal chat about the role please contact Rachel Spencer, Finance Director on 03450 669 999.
