We are driven by a clear purpose: to support disabled people to live independent and fulfilling lives. As a leading disability charity and housing provider, we deliver homes and services that make a positive difference, and we are now entering an exciting phase of transformation—strengthening our operations, investing in our future and embracing digital innovation.

We are seeking a Director of Finance to join our Executive Team at this pivotal moment. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will play a central role in shaping the strategic direction of the Trust, ensuring strong financial stewardship while enabling sustainable growth and high-quality service delivery. Values driven, you will lead the finance function with confidence and credibility, providing insight, assurance and challenge at Board and Executive level, and support colleagues across the organisation to make informed, data-driven decisions.

This is a broad and influential role requiring both strategic oversight and a willingness to engage with complexity and detail. You will oversee financial planning, treasury and risk, ensure robust governance and controls, and help embed a strong business partnering culture. You will also play a key role in driving improvement and supporting the implementation of new systems and ways of working.

We are looking for a qualified finance leader with a strong track record in a complex environment, who brings both technical expertise and a collaborative approach. You may already be operating at Director level or be ready to step up from a senior role, but in all cases you will demonstrate sound judgement, credibility with senior stakeholders, and the ability to lead teams through change.

Above all, you will share our commitment to equality and social impact. At Papworth Trust, we are proud of our inclusive culture and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those with lived experience of disability.

We are a Disability Confident Leader, and welcome applications from disabled candidates. If you would like support to apply, please contact the People Services Team on 01480 357200 or email hr.administration@papworthtrust.org.uk and we will be happy to help.
