Financial Services Manager
Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire - Hybrid
£70,400 per annum
Full Time, Fixed Term Contract - 18 months
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference in the housing community?
We’re on the hunt for a dedicated and enthusiastic Financial Services Manager to join our amazing Finance and Resources team at Fairhive on an 18-month fixed-term contract, playing a key role in supporting a major Housing Management Project.
If you enjoy helping others, working in a supportive environment, and contributing to meaningful projects, this could be the perfect role for you.
About the role...
This is a unique opportunity to provide leadership across two management functions within the Financial Services team. Whilst the role is graded at R8 to reflect the more senior responsibilities, the successful candidate will also provide cover across a lower-grade management position. As a result, we're looking for a flexible, adaptable leader who is equally comfortable with strategic oversight and hands-on operational management.
