This pioneering role is based in Furzedown in the London Borough of Wandsworth, a thriving and creative community. The post holder will be working primarily with Mitcham Lane Baptist Church and Furzedown Youth Centre.

Mitcham Lane Baptist Church (MLBC) is a friendly, informal, multi-cultural Baptist church, based in Furzedown, in the borough of Wandsworth, London. It is made up of Christian believers from a wide variety of backgrounds, who unite around our aspiration values to be a people who walk our talk and to Love God, Love People and Love Life.

At MLBC we aspire to be an inclusive community which builds people up. Our God is a creative God, blessing us with different skills, gifts and personalities so we strongly believe in unity and diversity. We want all people regardless of their background or Christian experience to find a place to belong. We want to be people that are open and honest with one another.

In seeking to pull together the threads of Loving God, Loving People and Loving Life we are a registered Fairtrade Church, an A Rocha UK Eco Church, a Foodbank Welcome Centre and have several mission partners across the globe.

Furzedown Youth Centre (FYC) is a community Youth Centre, owned and managed by a partnership of four local churches. FYC has been serving the Furzedown area for over 20 years. The aims of FYC are:

• to reach out to the many, mainly unchurched, local young people, school years 6 - 13, to provide a safe place for them to gather, free from negative behavioural influences, for example, drug and gang related crime.

• to engage young people in high quality recreational activities within a supportive Christian environment. Helping to promote their social, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, thereby enabling them to grow in maturity as individuals and members of society.

• to share the unconditional love of God with them - by service and example - with the hope that, ultimately, they may  understand more about the good news of Jesus Christ.

 • to build and strengthen links with the local community

The contrast of the two organisations gives the dynamic combination of both outreach into the community via the open programming of Furzedown Youth Centre and discipleship of those young people who find themselves connected to Mitcham Lane Baptist Church.

Are you someone who thrives on accuracy, organisation, and meaningful impact?  Join us as a Finance & Compliance Executive and help us deliver the essential work that keeps our youth-focused programmes thriving. In this role, you’ll play a vital part in managing funding contracts, supporting operations teams, and ensuring we meet the requirements of our funders—so that more young people can access the opportunities they deserve.

You’ll be at the heart of the action—tracking funding, compiling reports, monitoring contract compliance, and liaising with staff to ensure our delivery meets all necessary guidelines. Your attention to detail will help maintain accurate records, support timely claim submissions, and ensure we meet funder expectations with confidence and clarity. Being a whizz at Excel will also help immensely in this role. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is methodical, collaborative, and passionate about making a difference behind the scenes. You'll work with teams across the organisation, support compliance with vital audit requirements, and help shape action plans that drive ongoing improvements.

You will be a role model for your team, demonstrating best practice in how we work with young people in a safe way to ensure we deliver maximum value for young people and partners.

A background in employment-based programmes and/or knowledge of the Healthcare sector would be great as well as the ability to build and sustain stakeholder relationships and inspire colleagues.
