Hays Senior Finance is proud to be working in partnership with Denville Hall, who are looking to appoint a Finance Manager. This is a pivotal appointment where you will lead and deliver on financial aspects of their ambitious plans.

Opened in 1926 as the ‘Haven for elderly actors & actresses’, Denville Hall has been providing care for actors and home to all members of the creative and entertainment industries ever since. Alfred Denville MP purchased the property in 1924 and opened it as a haven for actors in 1926. Denville Hall provides residential, nursing, dementia, palliative and short-stay/respite care. Care is delivered by trained professionals, with nurses and carers on duty 24 hours a day and residents’ independence is central to the ethos.

Their Centenary marks a major step forward as they create new assisted living accommodation, modern facilities and accessible gardens designed to support independence, community and wellbeing. Over the past five years, they have got planning permission to build two new buildings of assisted living accommodation in the grounds of Denville Hall for those in need of this. They have set up a Centenary Appeal to raise the money for this addition to their facilities, which will include new cafe, gym and rehabilitation facility, accessible cinema and landscaping the grounds so they are fully accessible to everyone.

They are raising £13 million for the build costs for this new development and a further £13 million to set up an endowment fund to allow us to secure their future for the next century.
