Job Description

ALD Life are a small, independent rare disease charity competing for essential resources within an extremely competitive arena. This is a new role and will overhaul existing methodologies with an overriding objective to improve analysis of our financial status, increase capacity and improve income. 

Ensuring we have accurate and comprehensive financial reporting for both senior management and our Board of Trustees is essential for the development of our short, medium and long-term strategies and budgets. The Chief Finance Officer will be responsible for reviewing our current system and developing innovative approaches to ensure financial effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability, upskilling staff where necessary.

Like many other small charities, we have grown organically from an informal support group to the recognised voice for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) patients and their families. We are currently expanding our support services to help those with any leukodystrophy, ALD being the most common, and therefore increasing both our growth potential and workload.

Leukodystrophies are a very rare group of inherited disorders, therefore we acknowledge that support will always be limited. Therefore, we work towards diversity of income through our charity shop business (5 sites), corporate partnership, voluntary income and grant making trusts. 

As we grow, robust and comprehensive financial reporting alongside professional analysis of our financial strategies will be essential for our continued success.

The Chief Finance Officer will be responsible for our financial strategy and accounts management alongside assisting with development of our overall strategic direction and effectiveness, working closely with Board of Trustees, Chief Executive Officer and Accounts Manager.
