About Us
PSPA is the only UK charity providing support and information to people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). These rapidly progressing neurological conditions are caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain, and like many other chronic conditions, there is currently no cure. However, many of the symptoms can be managed, and our mission is to provide everyone affected with PSP & CBD with information and support to enable them to lead the best possible life they can.
Raising awareness of these conditions amongst health and social care professionals since 1994, we also fund research into diagnosis and treatments, relying almost entirely on voluntary donations.
We are now looking for a Head of Finance to join our team on a part-time, permanent basis, working 26 hours per week, spread across four to five days.
The Benefits
- Salary of £40,560 per annum for 26 hours a week (£54,075 FTE)
- 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
- Pension scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Hybrid working with one day in the office and four days from home (flexible to meet requirements)
This is a wonderful opportunity for a qualified or part-qualified accountant with experience in financial management to join our dedicated and impactful organisation.
You'll be integral to ensuring robust financial management and oversight, directly contributing to our mission and making a significant impact on the lives of families affected by PSP & CBD.
What's more, with the flexibility of part-time hours plus hybrid working arrangements, you'll have the perfect balance between your professional and personal life.
So, if you're ready to take on a pivotal role in a supportive and flexible environment, apply now and join us at PSPA!
