Head Of Hr Operations Jobs

Our Mission

We're Tutors United. We're on a mission to end the attainment and employability gap through the power of community-based tutoring. We support young people to thrive at two key transition points – from primary to secondary school, and from university to employment.

What We Do

Working with housing associations and other local partners, we run free tutoring programmes for primary school children and their families, providing access to vital educational support to those who need it most. We're proud to serve diverse, low-income, refugee, migrant, and multilingual communities across London, the Midlands, and the North West. We hire, train, and pay inspiring university students – most of whom also come from low-income households – as tutors, providing them with meaningful, paid work experience and wider support to boost their careers.

Each year, our work gives hundreds of young people, parents and carers the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to maximise education and employment opportunities. Now, we’re looking for an ambitious, highly organised and proactive person to join us as our new Finance and Governance Officer!

Job Purpose

This is an exciting time to join our small and impactful team, as we embark on a new four-year strategy. To meet our ambitious growth goals while sustaining strong core operations and compliance with charity and company regulations, we need to increase support for the CEO and Senior Management Team (SMT) and bolster our financial and governance capacity. This role is critical to achieving our strategic objectives to reach more young people than ever before, sustain the quality and impact of our programmes as we grow, diversify our funding and partnerships, and strengthen TU’s operations, so all staff can thrive as we scale-up delivery of tuition hubs across existing and new areas.

The Finance and Governance Officer will work closely with the CEO and COO to ensure the smooth running of TU, acting as the “glue” for the wider team and managing the day-to-day financial, governance and operational processes that are critical to high-quality delivery, compliance and impact.

The Finance and Governance Officer will provide robust and timely financial management support to the CEO, to ensure income is received and expenditure processed in line with our budgets. You will be responsible for processing incoming and outgoing payments within our bank and accountancy software, ensuring good records are kept, and liaising closely with our external accountants to deliver monthly accounts. You will support the CEO to tighten up our financial oversight, processes and compliance. You’ll also play a critical role in making sure our brilliant tutors and classroom assistants are paid each month, working with the wider team.

With an ambitious new strategy and an increased Board of trustees, a core aspect of this role will be to coordinate excellent governance support, to facilitate strong non-executive leadership and challenge as we grow. This role will be an advocate for governance and performance monitoring within TU, ensuring the team contributes to Board papers and KPIs, and supporting the CEO to meet governance deadlines. You will also pitch in with frontline programme delivery at pinch points during the year - such as helping with daily lesson support from 4-6pm, helping with our annual graduation event, or monitoring incoming enquiries.

We are looking for a proactive and conscientious individual who is prepared to challenge themselves and their colleagues. You will need to be solutions orientated, creative and comfortable communicating with people both internally and externally. If you are passionate about the development of young people, processes and performance, and want to see your ideas and skills come to life and underpin our growth strategy, you’ll love it here!

Location of role

Candidate can be based in London, Liverpool or Manchester.

About you

Do you want to use your skills to make it possible for people with myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, to live longer and better lives?

Myeloma UK is looking for a motivated and highly pro-active Trusts and Grants Officer to join our Philanthropy team within the wider Fundraising directorate. We welcome applications from people with prior experience or transferable skills who want to explore trusts and grants fundraising and/or fundraising within the health sector. The successful candidate will have a passion for writing, excellent organisational, presentation, communication and record-keeping skills, with an ability to understand and interpret financial data.  The post holder will need to be self-motivated and a team player, with flexibility and a willingness to develop and expand the role. In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to draft compelling proposals, identify and cultivate relationships with grant making organisations, and secure gifts ranging from £100 to £10,000.

Experience of fundraising from charitable trusts and foundations, building project budgets and the use of the Raisers Edge CRM system as well as knowledge of prospective funders within the trust and foundation and corporate sectors would be advantageous, but not essential.

About the role

Myeloma UK has an ambitious plan for income growth. We launched a new organisational strategy in 2024 and will launch our new research strategy in mid-2025. We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma – but we need to go further, faster. This position will play a critical role securing grants of up to £10K from trusts, foundations, and grant funders for a range of innovative and life-changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy.  The role will work closely with the Senior Trusts and Grants Officer, who leads on the medium and large grants programme, and income from pharmaceutical partners.

The post holder will deliver the grant process from start-to-finish including administration, research, and managing and growing a pipeline of small trusts. You will work with colleagues from across the charity to build high quality proposals and develop reports for funders. You will also work directly with funders to understand their priorities and offer excellent stewardship.

About us

At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 25 years, helping quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. Our new strategy, developed in collaboration with the myeloma community, alongside clinical, research, and policy leaders, focuses on three core areas: preventing myeloma, treating myeloma, and living well with myeloma. In the first year of this strategy, we have already made significant impacts: convening global leaders in early-stage myeloma to investigate prevention, securing the provision of three next-generation treatments on the NHS, and launching the Myeloma UK Survivorship grant to fund research into improving patients’ quality of life. But there is more work and achievement to come. Join us on our journey!
