Closing date: 11 September 2026.

We recognise that candidates may use AI tools to support research and check grammar. However, we ask that all supporting statements and application responses reflect your own thoughts and experiences. Over-reliance on AI may limit our ability to assess your individual skills, critical thinking, and personal approach, which are important parts of our selection process.

We are seeking a proactive, forward-thinking, part-qualified or qualified accountant to lead the development of an efficient, AI-assisted finance function for the charity. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be part of Home-Start Southwark and Lewisham's senior leadership team, in the only finance-focussed role within the team, taking ownership of the organisation's financial systems, reporting, and compliance — and critically, you will have the opportunity to strategically shape how finance operates over the next 6–12 months.

This is a growth opportunity for someone who has an interest and belief in our work supporting local families and combines strong technical finance skills with curiosity about technology, a willingness to challenge existing ways of working, and the confidence to work at Board level. You will implement cloud-based accounting with AI-enabled features, design meaningful management reporting, and ensure the charity is fully compliant with SORP 2026 and Charity Commission requirements — all while keeping the CEO's time focused on leading the organisation, not managing the books.

Why this role matters now

This is not a maintenance role. We are looking for someone who wants to build something — to design and embed a finance function that is fit for a growing charity. You will have the rare opportunity to shape the tools, processes, and reporting frameworks from the ground up, working directly with the CEO to make finance a strategic enabler rather than an administrative burden.

Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is looking for a Senior Insight and Performance Manager to lead our Data Engineering, Analysis and Selections teams and help us become a more insight-led organisation.

Working closely with our Head of Fundraising Data & Operations, you'll have the opportunity to shape how we use data to understand our supporters, identify opportunities for growth and make smarter decisions about where we invest our time and money.
 

There's a lot to get involved with. From forecasting and audience insight to developing our data platform, improving self-service reporting and helping teams test and learn, you'll connect people, data and ideas to create meaningful change across the organisation.
 

Salary

The salary for this role is £63,600 per annum and we operate a hybrid working policy of a minimum of 2 days per week in the office.

In line with our EDI strategy and Total Reward policy, we calculate our salaries based on benchmarking data across the charity sector. To ensure fairness for existing staff and new joiners, we do not offer salaries above the advertised rate.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop our Data Engineering, Analysis and Selections teams, bringing their expertise together to deliver trusted data, actionable insight and audience-led campaigns.
• Work closely with the Head of Fundraising Data & Operations to shape priorities and develop our approach to insight, performance and data.
• Use forecasting, predictive analytics, segmentation and supporter insight to identify opportunities for growth and influence fundraising and organisational decisions.
• Help evolve our data platform and reporting capability, ensuring colleagues can access the information they need to make confident decisions.
• Develop our audience selection and targeting capability, helping teams use data intelligently to create more relevant and effective supporter experiences.
• Partner with senior stakeholders across Fundraising, Marketing, Finance and Technology, translating business challenges into meaningful analysis and recommendations.
• Build a strong test-and-learn culture, helping teams experiment, understand what works and continually improve performance.
• Champion data literacy across the organisation, making complex insight accessible and helping colleagues feel confident using data in their everyday decisions.
• Ensure our use of data is responsible, secure and underpinned by strong governance and data protection practices.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Experience leading an insight, analytics or data function and developing high-performing specialist teams.
• Strong experience using analysis and insight to influence business decisions, investment choices, income growth or performance.
• Experience applying analytical techniques such as forecasting, predictive analytics, segmentation, lifetime value or audience modelling.
• Experience working with cloud-based data platforms, integrated data sources and business intelligence tools.
• Strong understanding of modern analytics, reporting and data visualisation, with good SQL skills.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to turn complex analysis into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong commercial thinking, with the ability to connect data and insight to organisational priorities and opportunities for growth.
• A curious and collaborative approach—you enjoy asking questions, challenging assumptions and helping others use evidence to make better decisions.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead talented specialist teams while working closely with our Head of Fundraising Data & Operations to shape what comes next. You'll have the scope to improve how we use data across the charity and see your insight translate into decisions, better supporter experiences and greater fundraising impact.

The Foundation for Jewish Heritage is seeking to engage an experienced Learning and Engagement Consultant to support their project Preserving Jewish Heritage, Promoting the Hidden Jewish Story in the year-long Development Phase of its project and for the first six months (of a five-year programme) of the Delivery Phase of the project. The Consultant will support and advise the Synagogues in this first pilot on activities/outreach and education, ultimately creating a framework for future use as a core part of this programme. The role will report to the Project Development Officer.  The Project Development Officer is currently being recruited and will be responsible for the set up and day to day running of the project.

The Foundation’s work to date has demonstrated a significant gap in provision for historic synagogues. There is a clear need for a more defined and comprehensive support function for the UK synagogues sector: one that offers a professional, accessible and user-friendly service; guides and empowers synagogue communities; helps ensure synagogue buildings are well maintained, resilient and future-proofed, including in response to the climate emergency; and supports synagogues to engage more effectively with wider society. This project aims to address that gap.

The Delivery Phase project is subject to a successful funding application to NLHF and there will be a break clause between the Development and Delivery Phases.

As Finance Officer, you will help ensure accurate financial management, maintain up-to-date financial records, and support budget monitoring and donor reporting across our UK and international programmes. Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you will be a proactive, detail-oriented team player who thrives in a fast-paced, values-driven environment and is committed to delivering high-quality financial support that enables impactful decision-making and organisational growth.

We are searching for a candidate who can work 21 - 28 hours per week on a 24 month fixed term contract. The Full time equivalent salary is £32,857.

Applications to be submitted by 8pm on Sunday 20th September

We aim to hold interviews on Friday 25th September.

Just Finance Foundation (JFF) is looking for an experienced Governance and Operations Manager to join us at an important point in our development.

We are a national charity working to change how children grow up with money. Every day, children are learning about money - through what they see, hear, and experience - but not all of it builds confidence or choice. By supporting parents, carers, and educators to teach money in ways that are simple, practical, and engaging, we make financial learning part of everyday life. This means children can grow up confident in making choices and equipped with skills that support their wellbeing now and into the future.

JFF currently operates within the Church Urban Fund (CUF) group, which has supported our development and provides a number of shared services. We are now preparing to become an independent charity and this new role will play a central part in making that transition work.

Working closely with our Director and trustees, you will help coordinate the move to independence while building the governance, systems and ways of working we need as a small, well-run charity.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys making organisations work better. You might be keeping a complex transition plan moving, supporting effective Board governance, improving an operational process, working through an issue with a supplier or adviser, or helping the Director make sense of a complex organisational question.

You won’t need to be an expert in everything. What matters is that you have strong operational judgement, can bring clarity to complexity, know when to involve specialist expertise, and are comfortable taking responsibility for getting things done.

We are particularly interested in people with significant experience in governance, operations or organisational management who can work confidently with senior leaders, trustees, advisers and external partners. Experience in a charity or purpose-led organisation, or of organisational change or separation, would be an advantage.

For full details of the role, responsibilities and person specification, please read the accompanying Job Description.

The role is home-based for three days per week, with occasional travel and approximately six evening Board meetings each year.

How to apply

Please submit a CV and supporting statement explaining how your experience meets the role requirements to email address provided by 11.59 on 13th September 2026. If your experience covers most, rather than every, point in the person specification, we still encourage you to apply.

JFF is an inclusive organisation and we welcome all applications. We want our workforce to be truly representative of the communities we serve. Diversity is an asset to our organisation and helps us create an inclusive, welcoming environment for all.
