Director of Finance

Location: Newport

Fifteen months into our journey as a newly merged organisation, Hedyn has brought together two ambitious housing providers to create a unified, values-led Group that is now one of the largest Registered Social Landlords in Wales. Everything we do is driven by our commitment to residents and communities, ensuring we provide safe homes, great services and an inclusive, purposeful place to work.

With strong foundations built, we are now focused on deepening integration, strengthening delivery and realising the full benefits of the merger. Managing around 15,000 homes and employing more than 700 colleagues, we are a purpose-driven organisation with a strong platform for growth, resilience and innovation.

We are seeking an outstanding Director of Finance to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Hedyn. Leading Finance Operations, Reporting, Treasury, Business Planning, and Procurement, you will provide strategic financial leadership across the Group while driving continuous improvement, long-term sustainability and organisational resilience. As a trusted advisor to the Executive Team, Board and committees, you will provide insight, challenge and assurance, influencing decision-making, strengthening accountability and building productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

We are looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA) with significant experience of strategic financial leadership within a complex, regulated and customer-focused organisation. You will bring expertise in financial reporting, financial planning and treasury strategy, alongside the credibility and influence to operate effectively at Director level.

Most importantly, you will be a curious and collaborative leader who challenges thinking, drives improvement and builds strong relationships. Resilient, adaptable and commercially minded, you will thrive in a fast-paced environment, take ownership, and be motivated by delivering positive outcomes for colleagues, customers and stakeholders alike.

We want Hedyn to be a place where colleagues can thrive, and we are committed to increasing diversity of thought and experience across our leadership. If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, please do get in touch to discuss how we can best support you.
