Senior Finance Business Partner - Treasury & Development | Cheshire/Hybrid | £55,000 | Permanent | 37 hours
We’re recruiting a Senior Finance Business Partner for a well-established North West housing provider, supporting some of the organisation’s most strategically important areas across Treasury, Development and Business Planning.
This is a broad role combining hands-on financial management with forward-looking analysis and business partnering. You’ll work closely with operational and senior colleagues, providing financial insight and challenge while helping shape longer-term plans and investment decisions.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll take a lead role across:
- Budgeting, forecasting and business planning, including financial modelling and scenario analysis.
- Treasury reporting, cash flow forecasting and supporting funding decisions for major development schemes.
- Loan covenant monitoring, lender returns and regulatory metrics.
- Treasury and development inputs into the organisation’s long-term Business Plan, including stress testing.
- Reviewing development cash flows, appraisals and scheme performance, working closely with Development colleagues.
- Preparing development budgets and forecasts and providing financial challenge around new proposals.
- Leading on the Development Fixed Asset and Grants Register, ensuring accurate integration with the wider housing fixed asset register.
- Month-end and year-end reporting and supporting Board and senior leadership reporting.
- Leading and developing members of the finance team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role has real breadth, with exposure to both day-to-day financial performance and the longer-term funding and development decisions that underpin the organisation’s plans.
About You
You’ll be a qualified or part-qualified accountant - CIMA, ACCA, ACA, CIPFA or equivalent - with strong business partnering skills and, importantly, experience within social housing.
We’re Particularly Interested In Candidates Who Bring
- Social housing treasury experience, including cash flow, funding, covenants and regulatory returns.
- Experience of development finance, development cash flows or appraisals.
- Strong budgeting, forecasting and longer-term business planning skills.
- Financial modelling and scenario/stress-testing experience.
- An understanding of capitalisation and fixed assets.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to provide constructive challenge to senior and non-finance colleagues.
- A proactive, commercial and collaborative approach.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don’t necessarily need to have done every element of the role, but you will need a strong grounding in social housing finance and treasury, ideally combined with either development or business planning experience.
Why Apply?
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional month-end FBP role.
- You’ll be close to treasury, funding, development and long-term business planning, giving you exposure to the bigger financial decisions affecting the organisation while still remaining hands-on and connected to operational teams.
If you’re working within social housing finance and looking for a broader Senior FBP role with genuine exposure to treasury, development and strategic planning, we’d love to hear from you.
