Are you an experienced senior business partner ready to take on a high-impact interim role in property services finance in the Housing sector? Can you lead and motivate a team while supporting operational leaders through complex financial challenges? Are you available for a 3–6 month contract with a major Midlands-based housing provider? This interim Senior Finance Business Partner opportunity sits at the heart of a critical part of the organisation—Property Services. With rising costs, regulatory demands, and a large geographical footprint, this service area requires strong and strategic financial leadership. You’ll act as the lead Finance Business Partner to the Property Services leadership team, managing a small team and driving forward insightful budgeting, forecasting, and cost management across repairs and maintenance. This is a 3–6 month contract with hybrid working; weekly presence in the Midlands office is preferred. Key responsibilities include: • Leading the financial business partnering function for Property Services, • Supporting senior stakeholders with strategic insight across repairs and maintenance, • Managing and developing a small team delivering high-quality financial support, • Driving financial improvements in areas with known data and reporting challenges, • Playing a key role in cost control and identifying financial efficiencies across the portfolio This is an excellent opportunity to step into a senior-level business partnering role in a complex, fast-moving environment. The housing sector is under pressure to do more with less, and your contribution will be vital in helping the business make sound financial decisions that enhance value and performance. To be considered, you'll be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with a strong track record in finance business partnering—ideally within the social housing sector, or within a comparable setting such as construction or maintenance services. You’ll need exceptional stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to work confidently with operational leaders and senior finance colleagues alike. Interviews are taking place shortly—apply today if you’re ready to make a difference.

Can you provide hands-on leadership to a small, charitable housing and care provider at a critical time of year? Are you just as comfortable engaging in strategic conversations as you are diving into the nitty gritty of finance transactions? Are you immediately available to apply your Housing Finance expertise to deliver a fluent year end process? My client is a small but successful charitable housing provider in Birmingham. The requirement is for an Interim Head of Finance on a 4-6 month contract; this can either be performed in a hybrid manner (2-3 days in the office), or if the skillset lines up, completely remotely (within the UK). Key responsibilities include: • Take the lead on the year end close and be the key liaison for auditors, • Produce monthly management accounts and provide budget monitoring support to a small number of senior stakeholders, most critically in Operations and Property Services, • Line manage a small team in Finance Transactions and Payroll, • Support the CEO by preparing financial information and board packs, • Provide ongoing support to the wider organisation following the recent implementation of a new ERP. This is a rare but enticing opportunity for someone with prior experience at a senior level in a similar organisation (care, housing, supported living) to deliver confidence in Finance leadership at a time of unprecedented change. To be considered, please meet these criteria: • Be a qualified accountant or QBE; experience in leading teams in a housing/care/supported living environment is essential, • Be experienced in leading a year end process and leading the delivery of management accounts, • Ideally have an aptitude for various finance systems. This post will move quickly. Local candidates are encouraged, as are those considering remote opportunities as this post can go to a remote applicant if the skillset match is strong.
