Morden College is a Charity dedicated to supporting older people. Founded in 1695 by the merchant Sir John Morden, the Charity has been enriching older people’s lives for more than 300 years. Today the Charity’s core purpose is to provide older people who are in need with a home for life, to support them as they grow older, via our Resident Services team, Domiciliary Care team and, if the need arises, residential nursing care. We are a strong community, committed to enabling the older people we support to have the highest quality of life, for the rest of their life, living independently for as long as possible.

The Trustees are working closely with the CEO and her team to develop a new strategic framework to guide the development of the Charity in the coming decade and beyond. The Advisor will play an important role, working with the Finance Director in ensuring that all plans and proposals are based on a sound understanding of the financial implications for the Charity in the short, medium and long term.
