Care service manager jobs

East End Community Foundation (EECF) is an innovative, fast-paced and growing grant-making foundation, working with donors and coordinating charitable giving to ensure donations reach those who need it most. 

The East End of London has experienced exceptional economic growth, but unfortunately the immense wealth and opportunity in places like Canary Wharf and the City continues to sit alongside some of the most deprived parts of the country. Through our grant-making programmes across Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham and the City of London we aim to address poverty and tackle inequality. In 2025/26 we distributed over £1.4m in grants, and we intend to increase our grant making year on year to provide greater and longer-term support so we can continue to make a difference to the lives of local people by supporting vital community-based projects.

EECF is at the forefront of place-based giving with our Life Chances campaign bringing together stakeholders across voluntary, commercial, and statutory sectors to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our society – children and young people and pensioners. Our Youth Advisory group places decision-making in the hands of local young people, and we aim to increase our participatory grant making over the coming year, engaging a wider group of residents. In 2026, we will be launching new funds supporting women and girls’ initiatives, young care leavers, and tackling digital inequality.   

We are looking for a committed individual with knowledge of the local area to join the Grants and Programmes Team. The Grants and Projects administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting the successful distribution of grants to voluntary and community sector groups and our events convening residents, donors and grantholders.

The ideal candidate will be highly efficient with experience of working in a busy environment, have excellent customer service and IT skills combined with a proactive, problem-solving approach. No previous grant-making experience is required, and full training in our systems and database will be provided. You will be joining a small, committed team and undertaking a wide variety of tasks. You should be a team player with energy and enthusiasm as well as an understanding and passion for the local community.

Does every child have the right to "sparkle"? We think so.

At Thriving Through Recreation, we believe that equitable access to hobbies, sports, and the arts is a fundamental part of growing up. We work with children and young people navigating social, emotional, or educational difficulties, helping them find and fund the activities they love in their own communities.

We are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and highly organised Activities Support Co-Ordinator to join our team.

The Role

Working directly with our CEO, you will be the engine room of our Activities Support Programme. This is a primarily remote role, but because our heart is in the community, you must be based in Cambridgeshire to facilitate local connections and occasional travel within the county.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Connecting: Triage and assess applications, building relationships with families and referring professionals to understand a child’s unique needs.
• Vetting: Conducting risk assessments and due diligence to ensure every activity provider we partner with meets our gold-standard safeguarding requirements.
• Facilitating: Managing the "matchmaking" process—finding the right club, negotiating payments, and tracking the budget.
• Evidencing: Collecting the stories and data that prove our impact, helping us grow and reach more young people.

Who You Are

You are someone who balances a big heart with a sharp eye for detail. You understand that "equity" means doing whatever it takes to level the playing field.

• Experienced: You have a background in social work, youth work, teaching, or a related field. You’ve worked with families facing disadvantage, and you know how to navigate complex family difficulties.
• Qualified: A degree or certification in Social Work, Youth Work, Education or a related field.
• Safeguarding Savvy: A deep understanding of safeguarding principles and child protection procedures.
• Independent: You’re comfortable leading frontline operations autonomously and can manage a budget with precision.
• A Multitasker: Ability to manage a budget, family case load and calendar without breaking a sweat.
• A Great Communicator: Whether you’re on a video call chatting with a parent and child about finger painting or liaising with a local activity provider, you can adjust your style to build rapport instantly.
• Local Knowledge: As a resident of Cambridgeshire, you’ll use your local insight to help expand our reach across the county.

Why Join Us?

• Be a Pioneer: You’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of a rapidly growing charity.
• Impact-Focused: You will see the direct results of your work as children gain confidence and thrive through recreational learning.
• Flexible & Inclusive: We offer remote working and value your unique journey. We encourage applications that evidence these requirements through paid or unpaid roles, as well as personal and professional experience.

Thriving Through Recreation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All short-listed applicants will need to submit a Safeguarding Self-Declaration Form, and all appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
