YOU

We are currently looking for a Director of Finance and IT to join our outstanding executive team, and to take a lead in ensuring that our work continues to create supportive and energising communities that are open to all, where people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

Joining our team is an opportunity to be part of a global movement that is inclusive, diverse and forward-thinking. We seek a Director of Finance and IT who shares our values and ethos and brings strategic financial leadership experience in a similarly complex environment, ideally with relevant experience in a charity or housing association.

The right candidate will have strong commercial acumen, professional accountancy qualifications and experience of treasury and cash management.

This is a hybrid role which will include some home working and a regular presence at YMCA Thames Gateway Group sites in Essex, London and Kent (in particular the Romford site where many of the finance and IT team are located).

As a community-based organisation for over 150 years, we are a vibrant and ever-changing charity that offers inclusive programmes in health & wellbeing, childcare, housing and youth work. We are passionate about providing opportunities to those who are most in need. We successfully adapt to the needs of the communities in which we're based - during the pandemic we were able to provide food hampers to families in need, childcare support to keyworkers, and stayed in touch with our senior citizens group who, for many, attending our social groups is a lifeline.

Our staff are dedicated to making other people's lives better through the services we provide, and live our Values to Be MORE - Motivated, Open, Respectful, Empowered - so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, we look forward to hearing from you.
