Finance Manager (Part-time)

Job description

Billions of people do not have access to safe, affordable health care when needed. Can you help a growing organisation address a neglected area of global health care?

Harris Hill are proud to be working alongside an international non-profit organisation looking to find an experienced and enthusiastic Finance Manager to work part-time (3 to 3.5 days per week). This is an amazing organisation making an increasing and fundamental impact on global health. The type of intervention this organisation champions could address up to 30% of the global burden of disease.

Globally, the poorest 33% of people receive just 3.5% of this type of intervention. This means the mortality rates are 1,000 times higher than in some high income countries compared to parts of the world where this type of medical intervention has been neglected. In some countries as many as 90% of hospital departments do not have the equipment to provide the care required for a child in need of help.

The ideal candidate would have a genuine interest in global health, naturally this would give you a distinct advantage.
