- £47,877 pro rata
- Part time
- Hope Park Workspaces, Trevor Foster Way, Bradford
This is a rare opportunity to join Active Bradford at a truly pivotal moment, as we lead a bold, place-based movement to tackle health inequalities and create a district where being active is part of everyday life. Backed by over £4m of Sport England investment and delivering flagship programmes like JU:MP, Active Bradford is at the forefront of national innovation in physical activity, bringing together partners across health, education, and communities to drive meaningful, lasting change.
As Finance and Governance Manager, you will play a mission-critical role at the heart of this impact. You’ll bring financial clarity, insight and rigour to decision-making, ensuring every pound delivers value for the communities we serve. Working closely with the CEO, Board and senior leaders, you’ll shape strategy through high-quality financial planning, strengthen governance, and build systems that enable a small, passionate team to focus on what matters most – changing lives through movement.
Role Description
This is more than a finance and governance role, it’s a chance to influence, lead and leave a legacy. With flexibility built in, a values-led culture, and the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of a nationally recognised programme, this role offers both impact and balance in equal measure.
- Provide the financial clarity and insight that supports confident decision-making across the organisation.
- Strengthen governance and support the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and Board of Trustees.
- Ensure our £4m+ Sport England investment is managed with rigour, transparency and accountability.
- Lead robust budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning to support long-term sustainability.
- Act as a trusted partner to the CEO and senior team, translating financial data into meaningful stories and action.
- Improve systems, processes and reporting so that colleagues can focus on delivering impact in communities.
