Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a future shaped by access to care, treatment, and support. Since 1964, Cystic Fibrosis Trust has existed for one reason: to ensure that people with cystic fibrosis can live longer, healthier lives - without limits imposed by their condition. We provide information and support, fund vital research, influence policy, improve care, and stand alongside people with CF at every stage of life. We are at a moment of real progress. New treatments and advances in care are transforming outcomes and expectations.

The opportunity We are seeking an exceptional Director of Finance and Resources to help ensure the Trust is financially strong, operationally effective, and strategically equipped to deliver maximum impact for people with cystic fibrosis.

About you You will be a qualified accountant with senior-level experience and the credibility to operate at Board and executive level. More importantly, you will be motivated by purpose - understanding that financial strategy, governance and operational excellence are not ends in themselves, but tools to change lives. You will bring: A strong track record of strategic financial leadership Experience guiding organisations through change and complexity Confidence influencing senior stakeholders and Boards A collaborative, inclusive leadership style that brings out the best in people A clear commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion Alignment with our mission, values and belief that everyone with CF deserves a life unlimited Experience in the charity or not-for-profit sector is desirable, as is understanding of - or lived experience of - cystic fibrosis. Why join us? At the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, your expertise will directly support people living with a life-limiting condition - today and in the future. You will help ensure that the resources entrusted to us by our supporters are used wisely, ethically and boldly to deliver lasting change.
