Welcome
Dear Applicant
Head of Finance
Thank you for your interest in our vacancy for a Head of Finance.
At East Midlands Housing Group we are proud of our heritage but also excited about our future. As a long established organisation our roots go back to the 1946 when we were formed to house ex servicemen after the war. Over the years through organic growth and mergers we have grown to be one of the largest housing associations in the region.
EMH is going through a significant period of change, our vision is to be the leading housing and care provider in the country and our Board have agreed a range of challenging Business Plan objectives to deliver this vision.
We are already making significant progress. We were in the first wave of strategic partners with Homes England and have increased our development programme to 600 units per year. Our care business is expanding and we have recently secured significant new contracts. Our credit rating with Standards & Poor’s has been reaffirmed as A+ (stable), one of the strongest in the sector.
We want to be the very best place to work in for our people. This means creating an environment where we can thrive, be ourselves, do a great job, have fun and gain job satisfaction. In 2018 we achieved the Investors in people Gold accreditation, held by only 5% of IiP businesses.
To achieve our plans we need a strong financial position and excellent support services. Our Head of Finance will play an essential part in achieving this.
We are looking for someone to lead and inspire their team, work collaboratively with all parts of the business and deliver a customer focused service. You will also lead on the groups Value for Money initiatives, working with the executive team to ensure we make the most of our resources.
I hope the opportunity excites you and we look forward to hearing from you.
