Opportunities.

As our Property and Facilities Manager, you will help create safe, accessible and welcoming places where people can live independently, access support and thrive. Take responsibility for the effective day-to-day management, maintenance and improvement of Deafblind UK’s property portfolio, including Rainbow Court, the Lodge and the charity’s shops, ensuring that buildings are safe, compliant, accessible, well-maintained and fit for purpose.

Reporting to the Deputy CEO, work collaboratively with operational managers, Finance and shop managers to oversee planned and reactive maintenance, property compliance, contractor performance, expenditure and property records. Contribute to longer-term investment planning and practical improvements that protect residents’ dignity, support independence and deliver value for money.

As the Charity’s senior finance professional, the Finance Director will ensure that our finances, investments and assets are managed effectively, responsibly and sustainably, while providing the Treasurer, Officers, Trustees, Life-President and senior management with the clear financial information and advice they need to make informed decisions.

The role will combine strategic leadership with hands-on financial management, maintaining robust controls, governance and regulatory compliance while developing the financial planning, forecasting and modelling required to support the Charity’s ambitions for growth.

Crucially, the Finance Director will help the Charity understand what is financially possible: identifying opportunities, assessing risk, strengthening and diversifying income, and ensuring resources are directed where they can achieve the greatest charitable impact.

Ultimately, the purpose of the role is to safeguard the Charity’s financial strength while using that strength as a platform for greater impact, enabling The Royal Variety Charity to support more people across the entertainment profession for generations to come.
