The Role

As our Business Planning & Treasury Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the NCHA Group's long-term financial sustainability. You'll lead the creation and maintenance of our 30-year Financial Business Plans, ensuring senior leaders have the insights and forecasts needed to make sound strategic decisions.

You'll also support the effective management of the Group's treasury activities - from cashflow planning to lender compliance - and ensure all regulatory returns are completed accurately and on time. This is a highly impactful role, ideal for someone who combines analytical excellence with strong relationship-building skills.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Business Planning
• Coordinating and producing 30-year Financial Business Plans for all NCHA Group companies.
• Building strong internal and external relationships, collaborating with Development, Business Partnership teams, and wider stakeholders.
• Leading on subsidiary business plans, stress-testing scenarios, and updating plans to reflect material changes, assumptions, or regulatory needs.
• Ensuring business plans meet requirements for submissions such as Homes England and the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).
• Treasury & Corporate Finance
• Supporting daily and medium-term cash management across the Group, including cashflow forecasting and reporting.
• Recommending corrective actions where cashflow risks arise.
• Ensuring compliance with the Treasury Management Policy.
• Developing and maintaining the Group's security database, liaising with solicitors and lenders, and ensuring properties are lender-ready.
• Assisting with raising new finance, valuations, and intercompany loan administration.
• Reviewing reconciliations, records and ensuring timely corrective actions where needed.
• Regulatory Requirements
• Coordinating the preparation of key financial regulatory submissions, including FFRs (Financial Forecast Return) and Quarterly Finance Surveys.
• Ensuring timely and accurate completion ahead of senior management review.

Other Responsibilities

• Building effective working relationships across finance, treasury, and business teams.
• Supporting continuous improvement across financial planning and reporting processes.
• Assisting with period-end and year-end close, statutory accounts, audit evidence and treasury disclosures.
• Representing the NCHA Group at external meetings where required.

About You

We're looking for a Business Planning & Treasury Manager who combines strong technical ability with the personal qualities that help create a positive, supportive team environment. You'll be a team player-friendly, kind, professional and naturally aligned with our CLEAR values. Someone who brings a genuinely nice, people-centred character to their work.

You will be a qualified accountant (CCAB or equivalent) or an experienced finance professional with strong technical skills in financial modelling, long-term cashflow forecasting and analysing complex datasets. Experience in development or planning work is beneficial, though the right qualification alone may be suitable. You will also bring experience in project management, ideally within change-focused or improvement-driven environments.

Highly organised and comfortable working independently, you'll communicate clearly, build strong relationships and translate complex financial information for colleagues across the organisation. Above all, you'll pair professional expertise with warmth, integrity and a collaborative mindset.
