Finance Director

PossAbilities is not your typical social enterprise. We’re an award-winning, not-for-profit organisation supporting people with learning disabilities to live the life they choose, with joy, creativity, and purpose.

The following information provides an overview of the skills, qualities, and qualifications needed for this role.

Recently named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025, we have created a ‘can-do’ culture, which is highly entrepreneurial, low on bureaucracy and non-corporate and we’re growing fast: from 220 staff in 2014 to nearly 770 today, with a forecast turnover of over £29M.  It’s also tremendous fun. Our HQ can be awash with animals from our farm and people with learning disabilities pop in and out of offices whether invited or not, ensuring that the place resonates with the sound of laughter.

Now, we’re looking for an exceptional Finance Director to steward our financial future and play a pivotal role in shaping financial strategy, strengthening systems, managing risk and compliance as well as supporting contract expansion and innovative housing developments. To be successful you will share our values and relish working in a dynamic and constantly changing environment. You will be a superb communicator with a high level of emotional intelligence able to engage informally at all levels. You’ll be professionally qualified, strategic, commercially sharp, technically excellent and confident rolling up your sleeves and operating at Board level. xwzovoh

If you can combine rigour with creativity, translate numbers into insight, believe that finance exists to enable impact, not restrict it, and want to genuinely make a difference this could be for you.
