Summary

This is a unique opportunity to join one of the oldest charities in the UK in a flexible, part time general managerial capacity, supporting the Trustees. The ideal candidate will have a professional qualification in accounting, property or the law and is comfortable working with professional advisers across all these disciplines. The appointment of this senior role arises by the retirement of the current incumbent, and the role offers a competitive rate which will depend on qualifications and experience.

Background

The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust, founded in 1545, holds a portfolio of c. £80m in Equities, Bonds, Land and Commercial Property, part of the Total Return from which (£2.5m in 2025) is distributed in Warwick in accordance with its Charity Commission Scheme, as follows:

· 50% Anglican churches in Warwick and Budbrooke

· 30% Warwick Schools Foundation - means tested bursaries and community activities

· 20% as grants for the “benefit of the inhabitants of Warwick”

The Trust has up to 12 trustees (4 nominated, 8 co-opted), who meet quarterly. At present, there is a Clerk & Receiver (role being renamed to COO), a deputy Clerk (who deals mainly with grants and organising meetings) and an accountant – all part-time and self-employed.

The current Clerk is retiring and is a Chartered Accountant who has held the role for 16 years, during which time the Trust has gone through a period of change. The Trust is now in a stable stage, where the priorities are managing our financial, land and property assets in order to maintain our distribution. The role is being renamed to Chief Operating Officer to better reflect the role, and would ideally remain a self-employed role.

The typical work load is likely to require about 10-15 hours per week, which fluctuates and is focused around the quarterly meeting and annual accounts. There is potential for 2 areas of land to be included in the local plan which will create additional opportunities.

Role specifics

Financial Investments

· Liaise with the investment managers (Currently: CCLA, Navera, Savills, Royal London)

· Manage any short-term deposits with HSBC

Property

· Liaise with property advisers (Margetts and Cushman & Wakefield) to manage the Trust’s property (currently an office block, a pub, a shooting range and 3 blocks of farm land)

· Oversee St Mary’s Rectory. This is owned by the Trust and is provided free of charge to the incumbent at St Mary’s, through an agreement with the Coventry Diocese.

· Ensure any property sales or leases operate within charity law.

· Where land is in the Local Plan, work with advisers and/or promoters to obtain the best commercial deal.

Charity Commission

· Manage any changes required to the Trust’s Charity Commission Schemes and Orders.

· Ensure that the Trust operates within the limitations of these Schemes and Orders.

· Annual Returns

· Manage information on Charity Commission website

Beneficiaries

· Quarterly distributions – calculation and payment

· Liaise with beneficiaries as necessary

· Prepare reports for Trustees as required (e.g. Annual Grants Report, which will include analysis of other Warwick endowed charities and Annual review of Church accounts)

General

· Deal with all correspondence

· Keep Trustees up to date

· Liaise with professional advisers

· Manage the overall office activity

· Organise meetings – including reports for meeting and minutes

· Maintain website

· Maintain records

Skill set & Experience

The role requires someone with experience of dealing with financial, legal and property issues. Coupled with good administration skills, the role requires someone who:

· Is self-reliant and used to working under their own management

· Is competent in Microsoft Office

· Has good written communication skills

· Has good interpersonal skills, to work with Trustees, other staff, advisers and beneficiaries.

Experience in the following would be beneficial, but a candidate who is keen to learn would quickly pick these up:

· Charities, including dealing with the Charity Commission

· Knowledge of Warwick and its historical heritage

The successful candidate is likely to have a professional qualification in accounting, property or the law and is comfortable working with professional advisers across all these disciplines. 

The Trust’s office is currently based on the top floor of Margetts (the Trust’s agricultural advisers), where all its records are kept. Some home working would be practical.

The role has some flexibility in hours, but there will be certain times, such as Trustee meetings that are fixed. A candidate who is able to be available for some time each day would be beneficial, as often matters need to be progressed without too much delay.

Applicants should apply in writing enclosing their CV and accompanying letter to either: Chair, The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust, 12 High Street, Warwick, CV34 4AP, or by Charity Jobs online application process.

 Closing date for applications is 20th February 2026

Our 2025–2030 strategy includes a clear commitment to transforming the funding system and the Open and Trusting programme will be the key to achieving that commitment.

About the role and person

Open and Trusting has come a long way, but there’s a lot more it can achieve – which is why we are looking for a dedicated leader for the programme. The success of the role will depend on an understanding and belief in the work of charities and funders, and the power of transforming funding practices. 

As Head of Programme and Engagement, you’ll bring energy, structure and connective thinking to the work. You will strengthen the community, support learning and ensure that the programme runs with momentum and purpose.

This role is collaborative and outward-facing and combines project management, engagement, community-building and fundraising. The person will need first-rate listening, diplomacy, influencing and relationship-building skills and will be a proven manager, with a track record of developing management infrastructures that underpin the success of initiatives involving multiple strands and big ideas.

Make a real impact for people living with rare, life-altering conditions. 

Inflammatory Neuropathies UK is the only UK charity dedicated solely to supporting people impacted by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), CIDP, MMN and other Inflammatory Neuropathies. These are rare autoimmune conditions that can dramatically change lives. We are here to work with people, to provide support, and to make things better. 

We provide information, peer support, personal grants, local and online groups, and fund vital research. We are ambitious, people-focused, and growing fast. Along with our community, we are IN this together. 

We are now looking for a proactive, organised and mission-driven Operations Manager to help us strengthen, streamline, and expand our core services so we can reach and support even more people. 

About the role 

As Operations Manager, you will be at the heart of our charity’s day-to-day running. Working closely with our Chief Executive, Trustees, staff team, and dedicated volunteers, you will lead on: 

• Operational Management 

• Day to Day Financial Management 

• Governance & Compliance 

• Volunteer Support 

• Projects, Programmes & Fundraising 

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys improving processes, working with people, and building organisational capacity. No two days will be the same, and your work will directly help people impacted by life-changing conditions. 

The role is mainly remote, but does require regular travel to our office in Sleaford (at least once a month), as well as some occasional travel around the UK and Ireland. It may also require some evening and weekend working.

About you 

We’re looking for someone dynamic and innovative, bold, and forward thinking. You will have proven experience in operations, administration, or charity management, with strong knowledge of charity governance, finance, and compliance. We want someone who is organised, can communicate well, and who can work well with our team. You will need to be driven, with a person centred approach at your core. 

If you have experience with a health or rare-disease charity that would be great, but it isn’t essential.

You could be an established manager looking for a fresh challenge, or an up and coming professional looking for their next step. We have an incredible team, and we want to build on it by bringing in the best. 

Why join us? 

If you want to be part of an ambitious, developing team working within a national charity, then this job is for you. This is your chance to make a real difference for a group of people who are often overlooked and who are facing multiple challenges. 

We offer: 

• A competitive salary 

• Remote working with flexibility and autonomy 

• Progression and development 

• The chance to make a tangible difference every single day 

• The opportunity to be part of a supportive and passionate community
