About Shelter

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction.  So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time.  This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home.  Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency.  We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change.  In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.  We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team

Shelter’s Finance Team consists of 32 people led by the Assistant Director of Finance and sits within the Strategy Enablement Directorate, which also includes HR Operations, Technology and Data, and Governance, Planning and Property.  This role sits within the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) Team, which produces financial reports and analysis, provides expert advice, and enables collaboration to support effective decision-making throughout the charity, while also leading and supporting the organisation in its financial planning.

About the role

As our Financial Analysis Manager, you will take a coaching approach to the line management of our five-person team and ensure the team are engaged, motivated and effective, supported to drive their own development and delivers its outcomes.  You will also be expected to produce expert strategic financial analysis, insight and reporting and an excellent user experience for both wider colleagues at Shelter and external stakeholders and to assist the Head of Financial Planning & Analysis in the management of the budgeting and forecasting cycles.

We will also count on you to manage the Financial Analysis team’s work in the monthly reporting cycle and work closely with Financial Control and Operations management on the continual development and improvement of these processes.  Ensuring the Financial Analysis team is effective in reviewing bids for external funding, preparing timely and accurate reports on spending against restricted funds, and supporting budget holders around Shelter in financial management of restricted projects are also key elements of the role.

About you

Influential, analytical and collaborative, you will be a qualified accountant with a proven record of leading a team, and have strong experience of producing financial reports for internal and external stakeholders and business partnering or equivalent relationship development.  A natural communicator, both verbal and written, you will also have excellent attention to detail and time management and prioritisation skills, while a flexible, proactive and professional approach to your work is essential.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans.  Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.  Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services.  And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
