Director of Finance

Unipol is a housing Charity established in 1973 by the University and the then Polytechnic in Leeds in co-operation with their students’ unions. In 1997, Unipol became an incorporated Charitable Company with a Board structure.

Unipol provides assistance in finding and supplying housing for students in Leeds, Nottingham and Bradford and is an important service supplier for the University of Bradford, Bradford College, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Conservatoire, Leeds Trinity University, The Northern College of Contemporary Dance, Nottingham Trent University and the University of Leeds.

The finance team, led by the Director of Finance, is a key resource for the organisation. The finance team increasingly uses sophisticated financial software, to increase the flow of detailed financial information and meet the needs of a growing organisation. The team is committed to provide timely and transparent management information to budget holders and key members of staff to aid the setting and monitoring of accurate budgets, maintaining financial control and managing cash-flow.

The Director of Finance is key to managing the Unipol’s finances and banking arrangements in an increasingly regulated environment, ensuring both compliance with regulations as well as the accuracy and integrity of the Unipol’s accounting records and financial systems, and developing internal controls so that assets and revenues are protected. In doing so the Director continues to develop and operate robust planning, sensitivity analysis, forecasting and reporting processes for Balance Sheet elements and ensure that the Unipol’s monitoring and control process is in place.
