During austerity and Covid we diversified, successfully taking on NHS work with people with long-term health conditions. We provide social prescribing support and health and wellbeing coaching to patients for Brent GPs. In 2024-25 we helped over 18000 people. We’re a leading partner on the Brent Health Educators Programme.

You will be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of our finances, ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements while ensuring our services are sustainable through sound financial planning.

You will play a pivotal role in reviewing and maintaining our robust finance and administrative system and procedures, managing risks and ensuring our charity finances can support delivery of our mission.

· Shape strategy and contribute to service innovation, growth, and long-term sustainability

· Build and maintain strong partnerships with wellbeing providers, community organisations, and external stakeholders

· Lead our digital presence – overseeing social media, website content, campaigns, and communications (either directly or by coordinating volunteers/students)

· Contribute to charity-wide operations, including policy, governance, safeguarding, and internal reporting in support of the CEO

· Support campaigns, events, fundraising activity, and cross-organisational projects that promote engagement and sustainability.

You will be a key player in helping us grow, scale our reach, and ensure every young person we support feels seen, safe, and supported.

What Success Looks Like

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills

· Experience in digital marketing, content creation, and social media

· Ability to collect, analyse and report data to drive improvements

· Sound knowledge of safeguarding, compliance, and charity operations

· A committed team player with a passion for making a difference

· Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities and responding to emerging needs in a small, purpose-driven team.

Desirable:

· Experience supporting young people affected by cancer or within a health-related setting
