Support officer jobs

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced charity finance professional to join a friendly, values-driven organisation at an important point in its development.

Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire is entering a new strategic period, and we are looking for a Finance Manager who wants support real change. You will have the chance to shape how we plan, report, forecast and make decisions, helping us build strong financial systems that support high-quality services for adults, parent carers and young carers across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

The role is available due to the upcoming retirement of our current Finance Manager, creating an opportunity for someone to bring fresh insight, strengthen our processes and work closely with the CEO, Treasurer, Senior Management Team and Finance Officer.

You will lead the day-to-day finance function, produce monthly management accounts, oversee payroll, support budget holders, manage cash flow forecasting, review investments, strengthen financial policies and controls, and provide financial modelling for funding applications, tenders and service planning.

This is a varied and influential role where your work will directly support better decisions, better use of resources and stronger services for unpaid carers, who play such a vital role in our communities.

We are looking for someone who can combine technical finance skills with a practical, collaborative approach. You will be confident explaining financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues, spotting risks and opportunities, and helping managers understand the financial impact of their decisions.

You will be joining a supportive team where flexibility, trust and shared purpose matter. We offer hybrid working, a part-time senior role with real influence, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a respected local charity.

About you

You will bring experience of charity, not-for-profit or comparable financial management, with strong skills in management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, payroll oversight, financial controls and reporting.

You will be comfortable managing a small finance team, improving systems and processes, working with auditors and trustees, and supporting organisational efficiency without losing sight of the people and purpose behind the numbers.

Most importantly, you will want to use your finance skills in a role where they make a real difference.

Why join us?

At Carers Support BSG, you will find a warm, committed and practical team working to improve life for unpaid carers of all ages. We support adults, parent carers and young carers through advice, information, assessments, groups, wellbeing support, hospital and GP-based services, and community connection.

You will have flexibility in how you work, the support of an experienced team and the space to help modernise our financial planning and reporting as we develop our next strategy.

If you are looking for a finance role where you can be both hands-on and strategic, where your judgement will be valued, and where your work will help sustain services that matter deeply to local people, we would love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the finance function and line managing the Finance Officer.

• Producing accurate monthly management accounts and financial reports.

• Supporting the CEO, Treasurer, SMT and trustees with financial insight and decision-making.

• Leading budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning.

The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GA) is the central charity that supports its member congregations, ministers and societies in England, Scotland and Wales. Its purpose is to promote free and inquiring religion, through inclusive, free-thinking communities that draw on wisdom from all sources, without doctrine or dogma. Our congregations are autonomous and locally led; the GA is not a hierarchical leadership body, but one that supports and leads alongside our members. 

As Britain’s religious culture and context has changed, so have Unitarian communities, and the GA is in a process of adapting to best meet these changing needs. 

The purpose of this role 

This is a new role, being the operational engine to strengthen the organisation at a time of change. Shifts in the wider Unitarian movement with patterns of innovation, rebuilding, and growth alongside congregational vulnerabilities and closures mean that the GA’s operational function must adapt. 

This role would suit someone who is excited to manage governance, systems, and data as strategic enablers in a values-driven organisation, who can drive change while delivering operational excellence. 

This is a role with real scope to shape how an organisation that is approaching its centenary works in the years ahead - including how good data, digital systems, and emerging tools can support a small team to make best use of its resources and build capacity for relational work. 

The Operations Director will work closely with the Chief Officer, and will be a collaborative and proactive enabler to lead a transition to a future-fit organisation that can better serve its members and have a greater impact. 

You don't need to be Unitarian or a person of faith to apply. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and beliefs who are drawn to work within a values-led organisation. 

What you’ll be doing 

• Strategy & organisational development — Partner closely with the Chief Officer to shape strategy, translate priorities into action, and build the systems that make us resilient.

• Governance, legal & compliance — Serve as Company Secretary, stewarding our transition to CIO and ensuring we meet our legal and regulatory obligations with confidence.

• Financial oversight — Ensure financial management arrangements (including outsourced providers) deliver accurate, timely information and sound controls; work with the Honorary Treasurer and external accountants on budgeting, fund oversight and audit support, escalating risks and holding providers to account. 

• Systems, data & digital — Lead our information infrastructure, oversee our CRM migration, and champion a culture of good data practice — including thoughtful use of AI where beneficial.

• People & HR — Line manage two team members and keep our HR and supplier relationships running smoothly, with care and clarity.

• Unitarian relationships — Nurture collaborative relationships with key Unitarian bodies from an operational perspective, including governance support for affiliated organisations.

• Events & communications — Take operational ownership of the Annual Meeting and ensure the infrastructure behind our communications is solid and reliable. 

See the attached job description for more details. 

What core skills and experience you’ll have 

Essential: 

• Senior operations leadership experience in a purpose-led or membership organisation, with a track record of building capacity through periods of organisational change. 

• Experience leading complex organisational change and systems transformation, including the people dimensions of change. 

• Experience managing contracted delivery of services by third parties 

• Financial literacy sufficient to own management accounts, lead a budgeting process, and act as a critical friend to trustees on financial governance.

• Must be comfortable interrogating financial information and holding external providers to account; accountancy qualification not required 

• Experience of leading the implementation or significant improvement of CRM, financial management, or other organisational systems — including managing migration risk 

• Experience of people management, and good HR / employment practice 

• Substantial experience of charity governance and compliance 

• Solid working knowledge of UK charity law and Charity Commission requirements, including the ability to advise senior colleagues and trustees with confidence 

Desirable: 

• Experience of property or building management, including leases, tenancy relationships, and facilities oversight 

• Experience of a CIO conversion or similar legal restructuring of a charity 

• Familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM platforms 

• Experience of working in a faith, membership, or congregational context 

• Company secretarial experience 

Please note: We've listed essentials and desirables in good faith, but we know no one is the finished article. If you bring the right values, approach, and most of the experience, we would love to hear from you. 

About the role 

• JOB TITLE: Operations Director 

• LOCATION: Central London (Essex Hall, WC2) and home-based hybrid. Minimum 2 days per week in the office. 

• WORKING HOURS: Full-time 35 hours a week. Part-time applications (min. 4 days a week) considered. 

• SALARY: £55,000 per annum 

• START DATE: ASAP 

Our benefits package includes 

• 30 days holiday, plus English bank holidays 

• Workplace pension scheme (7% Employer contribution)
