Can you provide hands-on leadership to a small, charitable housing and care provider at a critical time of year?

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.
