Above all, you will play a key role in enabling ILF Scotland to continue delivering life-changing outcomes for disabled people across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

As a professionally qualified accountant (CA, CIPFA, CIMA, ACCA or equivalent), you will bring significant senior finance leadership experience gained within a complex and highly regulated environment. You will have a strong track record in financial strategy, governance, organisational performance and the stewardship of substantial budgets, alongside a sound understanding of the public sector and/or social care landscape.
