Are you an experienced Business Analyst with a passion for improving systems, shaping future solutions and delivering meaningful change?

Blue Cross is embarking on an exciting project to review and replace its Practice Management System (PMS), the technology that supports our veterinary hospitals and clinical services. We're looking for an experienced Business Analyst to help us understand our current processes, identify future requirements and support the selection of a new system that meets the needs of our organisation for years to come.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a significant discovery and procurement project, working across veterinary, clinical, operational and support functions to help shape the future of service delivery at Blue Cross.

We are recruiting one Business Analyst who can be based from either our Burford or London office. While you may see this opportunity advertised in multiple locations, this is a single 12-month fixed-term role supporting our Practice Management System replacement project.

More about the role

As the PMS Business Analyst, you will lead the discovery phase of our Practice Management System replacement project.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to understand how our current systems and processes support service delivery, where opportunities exist for improvement and what capabilities we require from a future solution.

You'll develop a clear picture of business needs across multiple functions, evaluate available options in the marketplace and support the procurement and tender process to help identify the best solution for Blue Cross.

Your work will provide the foundations for one of the organisation's most significant technology investments and will directly influence how we support pets, owners and colleagues in the future.

What you will be doing

• Leading business analysis activities for the Practice Management System replacement project
• Engaging with veterinary, clinical, operational and support teams to understand current processes, challenges and requirements
• Mapping existing ("as is") processes and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Developing future-state process maps and requirements documentation
• Facilitating workshops, interviews and stakeholder engagement activities
• Gathering, analysing and prioritising business requirements
• Identifying functional, operational, reporting and data requirements for a future system
• Researching and evaluating solutions available within the market
• Supporting the development of tender documentation and procurement requirements
• Assisting with supplier evaluation and solution assessment activities
• Producing analysis, recommendations and supporting documentation to inform decision-making
• Working collaboratively with project stakeholders to ensure organisational needs are clearly understood and represented

About you:

You'll be an experienced Business Analyst who enjoys understanding how organisations work and helping them make informed decisions about technology and change.

You will have a strong track record of leading discovery and requirements gathering activities, with the ability to engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll be comfortable analysing complex information, identifying opportunities for improvement and translating business needs into clear and structured requirements.

We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked on system selection, procurement or transformation projects and who can balance operational realities with long-term strategic needs.

Experience of working within veterinary, healthcare, clinical or other service-focused environments would be advantageous, although not essential.

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience supporting solution design, testing and validation activities
• Analytical thinking and problem‑solving capability

Doing Good Recruitment is thrilled to be partnering with In Your Corner to find their next Clinical Lead (Maternity Cover)

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Clinical Psychologist or Counselling Psychologist with leadership experience to join an award-winning youth mental health charity as Clinical Lead on a 9-12 month maternity cover contract.

Reporting directly to the CEO and working as a key member of the senior leadership team, you will provide clinical leadership, governance oversight, and supervision across a growing organisation that is transforming the lives of vulnerable young people across London.

In Your Corner

In Your Corner is ambitious charity entering an exciting period of growth and development as it continues to raise its profile within the youth mental health sector.

For more than seven years, the organisation has delivered innovative, evidence-based psychological interventions alongside non-contact boxing programmes designed to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of some of London's most vulnerable young people.

Their unique group intervention model brings together accredited boxing coaches and clinical psychology professionals to engage young people who may be struggling with their emotional wellbeing and who often face barriers to accessing traditional therapeutic support.

As a small, agile and pioneering charity, In Your Corner is committed to developing practice-based evidence and creating meaningful, lasting change for young people and their families.

About the Role

The Clinical Lead plays a pivotal role within the organisation, holding responsibility for clinical governance, risk management, and clinical decision-making.

Working predominantly remotely, with some travel across Inner London project locations, you will lead and support a dedicated team of clinical specialists and Honorary Assistant Psychologists delivering In Your Corner's innovative interventions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing clinical leadership and governance oversight across the organisation.
• Managing, mentoring and supervising clinical specialists and Assistant Psychologists.
• Delivering both individual and group clinical supervision.
• Overseeing referral management processes and project delivery.
• Supporting quality assurance, safeguarding and clinical decision-making.
• Working closely with the CEO and wider leadership team to support organisational development and service growth.

About You

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and compassionate clinical leader who is passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people. You will be excited by the chance to combine strategic leadership, clinical excellence and innovation within a growing organisation that is challenging traditional approaches to youth mental health support. Equally comfortable supporting staff, overseeing governance and contributing to organisational development, you'll be motivated by the opportunity to help shape services that create lasting impact for young Londoners and their families.

You will possess:

• A genuine commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people.
• A post-graduate qualification and current professional registration in a core child mental health profession e.g. Clinical Psychology (D. Clin. Psych), Counselling Psychology (DPsych), or Senior Psychotherapist (BABCP or BACP).
• Robust knowledge of theory and research that underpins working with adolescents with complex mental health  difficulties, including those who have experienced trauma, adversity, and social exclusion.
• Strong organisational and planning skills - this role involves managing competing priorities across a varied workload.
• Line Management experience - supporting clinicians, conducting performancereviews and support with recruitment.
• Clinical governance skills, including clinical supervision, safeguarding, risk management and quality assurance.
• Excellent data management and analysis skills.
• A high degree of autonomy and self-direction is essential.

Doing Good Recruitment is committed to the highest standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, caring responsibilities, socio-economic background, or any other protected characteristic. We recognise that exceptional candidates do not always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If your experience aligns with most of the criteria and you are excited by the opportunity, we encourage you to apply.

Waltham Forest CVS is the borough's independent infrastructure body for the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector. We help local organisations to be well run, well funded and well connected, and we represent the sector's voice to the council, the NHS and other partners.

We are a small team doing a lot. In any given week we might be helping a new group get its governance right, running a network meeting, making the case for the sector with the council, or getting a grant out of the door. That range is what makes the work interesting. It also means the administration has to be solid, because when it isn't, everything else slows down.

This is a hands-on role supporting the Chief Executive and, through her, the rest of the team. You will manage the diary and the inboxes, service our board and sub-committee meetings and take the minutes, keep records and systems in order, help with events and training, and handle the day-to-day office and finance administration. You will be the first voice a lot of people hear when they get in touch with us.

We are looking for someone organised and accurate, who can juggle competing demands and finish things without being chased. You will need sound judgement and real discretion — you will see confidential material — and a straightforward, approachable manner with everyone from a volunteer running a lunch club to a council director. Experience in the charity, private or public sector is welcome but not essential. What matters is that you can run a busy office well and want to do it somewhere the work means something.

Join our team as Head of Communications! 

• Location: Remote within the countries where WeMove Europe is registered to work (UK, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Poland)

• Preferred Start Date: January 2027

• Application Deadline: September 24 2026

• Employment type: Permanent contract

WeMove Europe is a community of people united by a vision of a better Europe. We run campaigns that empower citizens to take action and influence decision-makers at the European level.

We’re looking for a Head of Communications who will combine communications expertise and an innovative approach to storytelling to engage hundreds of thousands of Europeans in meaningful action. This role reports to the Campaigns Director and has line management responsibilities. 

You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.

What you’ll do:

• Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans

• Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments

• Liaise with media contacts and external agencies to find appropriate opportunities to amplify our campaigns across European and national media

• Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns 

• Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks

• Build and sustain contact with journalists, produce press releases and briefings, keep our media database accurate and current across our priority countries

• Oversee and refresh our social media presence, line managing and coaching a social media manager. 

• Stay close to the news cycle and to what is working on social in order to identify moments that put our campaign in front of the people we need to move

• Contribute to defining the success measures for communications, including social media KPIs, and oversee activity to meet them 

• Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach

• Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.

• The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.

Who we’re looking for:

Essential skills:

• Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.

• Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:

  • Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness. 

  • Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners. 

  • Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action. 

• Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.

• Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications. 

• Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.

• Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.

Important criteria: 

• Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.

• Languages: You are fluent in English 

• Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)

• Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post. 

Nice to have 

• You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before. 

• Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.

• You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial. 

• Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media

• Other European languages are an added benefit.

The British Academy is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences. We support outstanding research and researchers, bring new ideas into public debate and help ensure that evidence and expertise inform some of the biggest questions facing society.

We are looking for a new Director of Finance & Resources to help us build on that work and plan confidently for the future.

This is an important appointment at an exciting point in the Academy’s development. We will celebrate our 125th anniversary in 2027, following a period in which we have grown our policy work, transformed our building to create more opportunities for public engagement and developed a national network for early career researchers.

As Director of Finance & Resources, you will make sure we have the resources, systems and organisational capacity to deliver our ambitions. You will lead our finance function and have overall responsibility for HR, IT & AV, Estates & Facilities, and Venue Sales & Marketing, working with experienced Heads of Department across each area.

Finance will be central to the role. You will lead our financial strategy and planning, oversee our financial controls and reporting, and provide clear advice to the Chief Executive, Senior Management Team, Council and its committees. You will also help us think longer term about our financial sustainability, including our plans to diversify income through philanthropy and commercial activity.

But we are looking for more than a strong Finance Director. You will be part of a close-knit Senior Management Team which works collectively to lead the Academy. We want someone who is interested in the organisation as a whole, who enjoys working across boundaries and who can help colleagues make good decisions about where we put our people, money and attention.

You will also have responsibility for some important assets. These include our historic home at 10–11 Carlton House Terrace, our technology and infrastructure, and our trading subsidiary. Ultimately, your job will be to make sure these resources are working as hard as possible in support of the Academy’s purpose.

About you

You will be a CCAB-qualified accountant with substantial and senior finance experience, gained in a complex organisation. You will have led finance teams and significant budgets and be comfortable advising senior leaders, Boards or Trustees.

You will also bring broader leadership experience. You may already have responsibility beyond finance, or have worked closely with areas such as people, operations, estates or technology.

We are looking for someone who can combine sound financial judgement with a practical, collaborative approach. You will be able to deal with complexity without making things unnecessarily complicated, communicate clearly with people who are not finance specialists, and provide constructive challenge when it is needed.

You should also be someone who enjoys leading through others. There are strong Heads of Department across the Resources portfolio, so this isn't about being the expert in every area. It is about setting direction, asking good questions, supporting people to succeed and bringing the different parts of the portfolio together.

Why join us?

The British Academy has a distinctive role in national life. In 2025/26 we awarded around £63 million in research funding. Alongside funding research, we convene academics, policymakers, businesses and civil society, engage the public with new ideas and use research to inform policy.

The Director of Finance & Resources helps make all of that possible.

For someone who wants to use their financial and leadership experience in an organisation with a clear public purpose, this is an opportunity to make a real contribution to the Academy’s next chapter.
