There has never been a more exciting time to join Crisis. Homelessness is firmly in the national spotlight, and there is growing political and public momentum for change. Combine the profile of the cause, with Crisis' ambitious 10-year strategy - including a capital campaign to buy homes for people who have little to no other options - and this becomes a once-in-a generational moment to be at the forefront of real social change. Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We know homelessness can be ended. It is not inevitable. We can play an important part of helping to shape the future of ending homelessness together. The Philanthropy and Development team is in an exciting phase of growth and investment. We are in the private phase of a £30m campaign to acquire 100 homes, providing stable housing for people experiencing some of the most severe forms of homelessness - with philanthropy providing the seed capital to demonstrate that a different approach to housing is possible. At the same time, we are delivering a bold ten-year strategy that aims to see the beginning of the end of homelessness by 2034. High Value fundraising will play a central role in making our vision a reality. We've invested in the foundations that help fundraisers succeed, including strengthened prospect research, stewardship and supporter engagement functions, enabling relationship fundraisers to focus on developing and growing high-quality donor relationships. You'll join a supportive and ambitious team with clear priorities, strong leadership and a genuine commitment to collaboration, learning and development. For someone who enjoys both delivering high-quality prospect research and shaping how insight is used across a fundraising programme, this is a particularly exciting moment to come on board. About the role This is a new role and provides an opportunity to lead and shape Prospect Research at Crisis at a pivotal point in our fundraising growth. You'll provide the insight, strategy and prospect intelligence that help unlock transformational support, working across high-value fundraising to identify opportunities, strengthen prospect management and support confident, evidence-based decision-making. You'll also help develop the systems, processes and ways of working that enable our Philanthropy, Corporate Partnerships, Regional Partnerships and Trusts teams to perform at their best and achieve ambitious goals You'll be bold in using insight, data and strategic thinking to help shape the future of high-value fundraising at Crisis. Working collaboratively with fundraising, CRM and data colleagues, you'll strengthen prospect pipelines, improve systems and processes, and help turn fundraising ambition into tangible results. You'll directly contribute to growing our fundraising and increasing our impact for people experiencing homelessness. Through high-quality research, due diligence and responsible data practices, you'll also play an important role in ensuring our approach is equitable and built on the highest standards of integrity. About you You're an experienced prospect research professional with the ability to lead strategy, drive improvements and help high value fundraising teams achieve ambitious goals. You have a strong track record of identifying and developing high-value opportunities, using insight and analysis to inform decision-making and unlock fundraising potential. You're confident using CRM systems, reporting tools and data to improve performance, strengthen processes and support strategic planning.

Why join my Client? This is an opportunity to join a globally recognised British business during a period of investment, evolution and renewed energy. Sunseeker combines heritage and craft skills with innovation, technical excellence and an extraordinary commitment to its product. That same ambition is now creating an opportunity to strengthen how the business attracts and connects with talent. For the right person, this role offers visibility, influence and the chance to create something meaningful. Working alongside the Recruitment Manager and Head of HR, the Recruitment Partner will be trusted to shape the role, build credibility and contribute to a recruitment approach that supports the next stage of Sunseeker's journey. Your new role Working in partnership with hiring leaders, the Recruitment Partner will develop a clear understanding of business priorities, team dynamics and the capabilities needed for success. The role will support recruitment across a varied organisation, balancing pace with quality and ensuring each appointment is considered in the context of future capability, culture and commercial impact. The Recruitment Partner will build proactive talent pipelines rather than relying solely on active applicants. This will involve market mapping, direct sourcing, intelligent use of professional networks and the creation of talent communities for critical or recurring areas. Strong written and verbal communication will be essential, particularly when representing the story to candidates who may not yet be looking for a move. The role will also use recruitment data and market insight to improve decision-making. By tracking progress, identifying bottlenecks and sharing credible intelligence on availability, reward and competitor activity, the Recruitment Partner will help the business make informed choices and continuously improve the way talent is attracted and selected. Candidate experience will sit at the heart of the position. Every interaction should feel professional, timely and human, whether the individual ultimately joins Sunseeker or not. The Recruitment Partner will create clarity, maintain communication and represent the care, craft and ambition associated with the brand. What you'll need to succeed The successful person will bring experience from recruitment, resourcing or talent acquisition and will have a strong understanding of how to find and engage high-quality talent. Experience gained in-house would be valuable, although an individual from an agency or search environment who can demonstrate genuine partnership, ownership and commercial curiosity would also be welcomed. This person will be organised enough to manage multiple priorities, but not process-driven at the expense of relationships. The role calls for someone who communicates with warmth and credibility, enjoys getting beneath the surface of a brief and is comfortable influencing stakeholders at different levels. Curiosity, resilience and good judgement will matter, as will the ability to work with appropriate discretion and maintain high standards when the pace increases. Above all, we are looking for someone who sees the opportunity in a role that is still taking shape. There will be room to improve processes, introduce ideas and define what an excellent recruitment partnership should look like. The impact of a strong appointment in this role could be formidable. What you'll get in return Flexible working options available. What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now. If this job isn't quite right for you, but you are looking for a new position, please contact us for a confidential discussion about your career.

Overview Mitchell Adam is partnering with a substantial international group to appoint a Head of Group Reporting & FP&A into a pivotal position within its senior finance leadership team. Operating on a significant scale, with a complex, multi-site structure and international presence, this business is continuing to grow and evolve. With further development and transformation on the horizon, there is a real opportunity for an experienced finance leader to influence how the group reports, plans and measures its performance. Reporting directly to the Group Finance Director, this is a broad role combining technical financial reporting, group-wide planning and commercial insight. You will have regular exposure to the Board, responsibility for a talented team of four and the opportunity to make a genuine impact across the organisation. What is required We are looking for an accomplished finance professional who has operated within a large, complex business and understands the demands of reporting at group level. The successful individual will be technically excellent, ideally ACA or ACCA qualified, with a strong background in consolidated reporting, statutory accounts and managing complex external audits. A thorough understanding of FRS 102 is particularly important, alongside the ability to navigate technical accounting matters with confidence. Beyond financial reporting, you will bring experience of leading budgeting and forecasting processes, providing meaningful analysis and supporting senior leadership with key commercial decisions. Your remit will include: Taking full ownership of group financial reporting, including monthly consolidation, statutory accounts and the annual external audit. Leading the group's budgeting and forecasting cycles, ensuring financial plans are robust, insightful and aligned with business objectives. Overseeing complex technical accounting matters, including acquisitions, disposals and impairment reviews. Developing reporting processes, financial controls and governance across a large, evolving organisation. Working closely with the Group Finance Director and Board to provide financial insight, challenge and recommendations. Supporting strategic projects, investment decisions and wider business transformation. Managing and developing a team of four, encouraging high standards and continuous improvement. Importantly, this is not a role for someone who wants to operate solely at a strategic level. The finance function is lean relative to the scale of the organisation, so you will need to be equally comfortable getting into the detail as you are presenting to senior stakeholders. What you will receive This is an opportunity to join a substantial and ambitious international business in a position that offers both influence and variety. You will work directly with an experienced Group Finance Director, gain exposure to senior decision-makers and play an important role in shaping the future of the finance function. With continued growth and transformation creating new challenges, there is considerable scope to improve existing processes, develop the team and leave a lasting impact on the organisation. Summary We are particularly interested in speaking with technically strong finance leaders from large, complex or international group environments who are looking for a role that combines the rigour of financial reporting with the opportunity to influence wider business performance. If you are an experienced Group Financial Controller, Head of Reporting or senior finance professional looking for your next challenge, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
