The charity is entering an exciting period of growth and development fresh from a recent rebrand and the appointment of a new CEO.

Key responsibilities include leading and overseeing all aspects of the charity’s welfare and grant services. You will provide strategic oversight of the full operational framework, shaping the beneficiary experience, making impactful recommendations on applications, and empowering the casework team and volunteer visitors to achieve lasting, meaningful outcomes.

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring services remain effective, compassionate, and accessible — evolving with the needs of those the charity support. As a key member of the senior leadership team, you will help shape the charity’s vision and ensure grants and welfare operations align with strategic goals. You will line manage the current team of 3 caseworkers which is expected to grow.

The successful candidate will have at least 5 years’ management experience, with a strong understanding of the UK & Ireland benefits system to ensure charitable support complements statutory support.
