Head of Finance Vacancy
Huddersfield Town Foundation
We are seeking a dynamic and purpose-driven Head of Finance to lead the strategic development and operations of the Foundation’s
finance arm. This role is central to bringing our strategy to life — ensuring the business support to ensure our community
can GROW through learning and opportunity, BELONG through connection and inclusion, and THRIVE through improved wellbeing.
As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Head of Finance will take responsibility for day-to-day financial management,
monthly management accounts, financial reporting, and strategic financial support to Huddersfield Town Foundation staff and its
Board of Trustees. The role also includes taking responsibility for completion of financial returns to statutory bodies and
funding partners and for driving good governance across the Foundation through review of policies, risk documentation and working
practices.
We’re looking for a strategic thinker and inclusive leader — someone with senior finance experience, ideally within the charity
sector — who can promote a culture of strong financial control and attention to detail and will inspire our teams, drive
innovation, and embed our Terrier Spirit values in everything we do.
This role reflects our commitment to growth and impact. With a team of 26 staff and a turnover of £1.2m, the Foundation is
entering a new chapter. The Board has ambitious plans, and we need resilient, imaginative, and values-led leaders to help us
deliver on our mission to empower OUR TOWN to thrive.

The closing date is Tuesday 30th September 2025 at midday.

Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and other
stakeholders to share this commitment.
As this role will involve the supervision of and work with children and young people or vulnerable adults, the successful
candidate will require an Enhanced Criminal Records Check (CRC) through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and clearance to
work in football.
Applicants must disclose all previous convictions including spent convictions in accordance with the associated legislation;
disclosure may be via a separate letter addressed to the Head of Human Resources and EDI. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of
Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain
convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they
are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.
Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
Equality and Inclusion
Huddersfield Town AFC is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community – a place where everyone can be themselves and
in which everyone feels valued, included, and supported to achieve their full potential. We offer a range of family-friendly and
inclusive employment arrangements, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.
We are committed to the redress of any inequalities by taking positive action where appropriate.
We are a Disability Confident Leader and welcome applications from disabled candidates. We are also seeking to diversify our
workforce, particularly by gender and ethnicity.
