Are you an exceptional finance leader looking to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of an ambitious, purpose-driven organisation?

This is an exciting time to join Livv Housing Group. As we deliver our Corporate Plan, Building a Better Future , we're investing in our homes, services and communities while ensuring long-term financial resilience and sustainable growth. Our new Director of Finance will play a critical role in helping us achieve these ambitions.

Managing around 13,000 homes across the Liverpool City Region and the North West, we provide safe and warm homes for around 28,000 customers. We're committed to unlocking potential, creating opportunities and helping people and communities to flourish.

Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer and working closely with the Board, Chief Officers Team and senior stakeholders, you will provide strategic leadership across finance, treasury and procurement. Combining strategic insight with strong operational leadership, you will ensure robust financial oversight, effective governance and a relentless focus on value for money and organisational performance.

This is a highly influential role at the heart of decision making. With ambitious investment plans and a strong development agenda, you will help shape major strategic decisions and ensure Livv remains financially strong, resilient and ready to seize future opportunities.

We are seeking a qualified accountant (CCAB or CIMA) with substantial strategic finance leadership experience gained within social housing or a similarly complex organisation, ideally in a regulated environment. Alongside strong technical expertise, you will bring commercial acumen, collaborative leadership and the ability to influence at Board and Executive level.
