Who we are

At Farleigh Hospice, we believe every moment matters. Since 1982, we've been at the heart of compassionate care in mid-Essex, supporting over 5,000 people every year who are affected by life-limiting illnesses and bereavement. We are proud to be a place where clinical excellence meets heartfelt humanity. Whether in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or through our counselling and support services, our mission is simple: to help people live well until they die, and to support those left behind to live well after loss. We can only continue this vital work with the generosity of our community and the income we generate.

Joining Farleigh means becoming part of a forward-thinking organisation that values innovation, inclusivity and professional growth. If you're looking for a career with purpose, where your work truly matters, Farleigh Hospice could be the place for you.

About the role

The Finance Director will provide strategic leadership, oversight and accountability for all financial and governance matters across the Farleigh Group, encompassing Farleigh Hospice, the Local Hospice Lottery and Farleigh Supplies Ltd.

We are seeking a strategic and commercially minded finance leader with strong charity-sector knowledge (restricted/unrestricted funds, compliance) and commercially astute, able to modernise systems and processes. With a rise in demand for services over the next five years, we need to refresh reporting and focus on real-time data, Power BI dashboards and modelling to inform decisions.

Must understand both charitable compliance and commercial income generation (especially subsidiary and trading activity). Hospice experience is desirable but not essential and rising stars from a head of finance or a role deputy to an FD are encouraged to apply, as well as experienced finance directors.
