The position of Chief Operating Officer is an exciting new role within the charity. The last few years have seen Coram’s Fields grow both operationally and financially, and we now employ around 65 staff and in 2024/25 are expecting to turnover c.£2.4 million.
As our organisation and team has grown, so too has the need to strengthen our infrastructure and we are now looking for an experienced and skilled COO, to drive operational improvements across the key areas of HR, Finance and commercial.
Coram’s Fields prides itself on having a strong, values led culture, and one where our commitment to our staff and their development is matched by the commitment we bring to the children and young people we support every day. Building on this by developing and embedding high quality people management systems and creating a culture of best practice across all our teams will be a key part of your role.
Over recent years, we’ve been working hard to build our financial resilience and develop a more sustainable operating model, including further investment in our fundraising team. We’ve made significant progress, but we know there are plenty more opportunities to strengthen our work in this area. Modernising our financial systems and strengthening financial capabilities across our management team will be a focus of the role and you will relish the opportunity to impart your own financial knowledge and skills on those around you, to support the delivery of even better outcomes for the young people we serve.
The success of our financial model is underpinned by just under half our annual income coming from commercial revenue streams. You’ll bring a proven track record of maximising commercial income opportunities, a keen eye for spotting new ones, and the ability to cultivate these into financially rewarding ventures that support our overall sustainability and mission.
To be successful, you'll need to be an outstanding communicator, capable of building relationships with a broad range of stakeholders, from service managers on the ground, to our Trustees.
Our commitment to changing the lives of children and young people for the better is unrelenting and your reward in this role will be quite simple – to play an instrumental role in building the capacity of our team and the organisation to deliver even greater outcomes for the young people we support.

We are an ambitious, dynamic and impactful charity. Following their sons’ diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Emily Reuben and Alex Johnson founded Duchenne UK in 2012.
DMD is a devastating progressive condition diagnosed in early childhood which causes all the muscles in the body to gradually weaken. There are currently only very limited treatment options for DMD, so Emily and Alex set up Duchenne UK to change this.
Since 2012, we have raised more than £27 million to end the devastating impact of DMD. We fund ground-breaking scientific research to find effective treatments. We’ve developed the infrastructure of DMD clinical trial delivery in the UK. We engage industry and regulators to accelerate access to treatments. And we’re here to support every family affected and ensure that they receive the best possible care. We aim not only to improve quality of live but stop the disease in its tracks. We’re doing it faster too, because this generation of patients can’t wait.
