For candidates who are shortlisted for 1st interview stage, this interview will be held remotely w/c 15th December 2025 and will incorporate a role play task. There will also be the opportunity to ask the panel questions. There may be an informal chat via Teams after the first interview as part of the selection process.

As our Operations & Executive Support Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in keeping the organisation running smoothly. You’ll work at the heart of our Corporate Function, ensuring our systems, people, and processes are efficient and aligned with our mission. There is no line management initially but if the team grows, we will discuss this with you.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll provide both operational leadership and executive support - helping the CEO and wider team stay focused on impact. You’ll also work with our Head of Programmes to ensure coordination across the charity.

This role would suit you if you’re highly organised, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You might currently be an Operations Officer, Senior Administrator, or Project Manager, ready to step up into a broader, more strategic role.
