About Us

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships (BOP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works alongside Government, community groups and specialist Delivery partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from housing and employment to education and health & wellbeing.

The role of BOP spans project development (working with Government and others to design and launch the service), project management (coordinating the delivery phase, managing performance, and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (funding the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Big Society Capital, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to make a difference and is passionate about using data to change lives.

About the opportunity

As an Impact Analyst, you will work within a team across 2-3 social impact projects initially. An example of one of the programmes you will become a key part of delivering is a community based, preventative emotional resilience and wellbeing pilot called Turning Tides.

Turning Tides is a two-year pilot programme testing innovative means of protecting and promoting the mental health and wellbeing of vulnerable young people along the North Yorkshire Coast. The programme leverages local organisations and their expertise, providing each young person a dedicated coach who works to identify a participant's strengths and ambitions – and takes a community-based asset development approach to match those goals with opportunities in the local area.

· Identifying opportunities for process automation and improving utilisation of management data by colleagues across the programme.

· Supporting the Programme Lead on all operational and project management needs, including coordination of team activities and providing other administrative support.

· Working with the Investment Lead and colleagues in Finance, to ensure invoices for outcomes achieved by participants within programmes are processed.

· Engaging with other analysts across BOP to share learnings from your own project and implement learnings from other projects in your own.

· Curious and Inquisitive: You crave knowledge and consistently seek learning opportunities.  You look for patterns and ask questions that nobody else has thought to ask.

· Data and Analytical Skills: You are good with numerical data and analysis and are able to accurately assimilate information and develop critical insights to inform decisions.

REF-215 806

Woodgreen Pets Charity is looking for a Director of Finance and Corporate Services to play a key leadership role in our ambitious strategy, and in ensuring the success of Woodgreen and our impact for pets and their people. We need a critical thinker who will help challenge us all on our plans, performance and management of risk, while simultaneously being energised by our vision and who therefore supports and enables the organisation to find new solutions, innovate and think differently. This isn’t a paradox in our view, but rather a unique opportunity to work closely with the CEO and wider leadership team to define and make real a new category and type of pet support charity.

This year we celebrate our centenary and 100 years of providing shelter, care and support to pets and pet owners with no one to turn to.  While we are exceptionally proud of the impact that this critical care and support has had, the challenging events of recent years, and the continued plight of so many vulnerable pets and struggling pet owners, mean that as well as being a time of celebration we have taken time to reflect, reimagine and consider how the next 100 years can accomplish our vision where every pet has a loving home for life.

We’re working to a new, 5-year strategy that will reposition Woodgreen to have a greater emphasis on helping pets before problems arise through prevention and early intervention work with pet owners, communities and our partners. It will need digital and technology transformation, big change as well as continuous improvement, and a belief in our people and their amazing potential impact for pets and people. Our ambition is to challenge and change the pet shelter model, building on our care and rehoming work to develop and deliver a range of information, advice, and support services at scale, provided through new approaches, new channels and new partnerships.

The Director of Finance and Corporate Services will be critical to any success we have – they will provide strategic oversight of finance, technology and facilities teams while guiding them to strengthen organisational capabilities and practice around strategic planning, performance and risk management.

With a growth mindset they will embrace challenges and be comfortable with ambiguity, bring strengths with humility, recognise failure as potential for improvement, and foster a learning, inquisitive culture above all.

If you are;

• An experienced senior leader, with a proven track record to motivate, inspire and build empowered teams
• A fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or ACMA) from a registered accounting body, able to support Woodgreen to be financially healthy and thriving.
• Inspired by technology enablement, transformation and innovation in our sector

And have;

• A commercially astute mind, with excellent judgement and deft skills to both challenge and review ideas with solutions and innovation to achieve our goals.
• Experience of supporting organisations to develop, adopt and sustain improved working practices for efficiency, effectiveness and robust risk management.
• A keen ability to identify, support and develop talent around you in individuals and teams
• An understanding and experience of shaping and influencing teams towards a learning and continuous improvement practice and culture.

We would love to hear from you!

The salary for this position will be £90,000 - £100,000 per annum, depending on experience.  This will be complemented by;

• 30 days annual leave entitlement (excluding bank holidays) rising to 32 days after 3 years’ service
• Pension - employer contributions match employee contributions up to 8%
• Group life insurance (4 x basic salary)
• Healthshield cash plan

This is a hybrid opportunity with an expectation of attendance and presence at our Godmanchester site to fulfil the duties of the role, act as a member of the executive and senior leadership team, and to play a cross-organisational role in support of our strategy, mission and values.  It is anticipated that this would typically be around 2-3 days on site per week, however this could be flexible with the emphasis being on providing organisational leadership and impact.

The closing date for applications is midnight on the 18th August 2024, however we will be considering applications throughout the period.

Please note that this role is subject to a range of pre-employment checks to include a basic DBS check.
