About the Role

As we journey towards our vision to bring fullness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face, we’re looking for a passionate, motivated and mission-driven individual to join our team as Finance Manager. 

The Finance Manager will play a central role in shaping the financial strength and future growth of the charity.

At Betknowmore UK, we work to prevent and reduce gambling-related harm through support, education, training and community engagement, embracing the insight and knowledge of 'Experts by Experience' alongside evidence-based approaches. As our Grants, Contracts and Commissioning Lead, you'll grow our income from two connected routes: grants from charitable trusts and foundations, and statutory and commissioned income secured through contracts, tenders and procurement. You'll be expected to at least sustain our current grants and contracts turnover, with real ambition to grow it by a further 10-20%.

This newly created role owns the full grants and contracts cycle — identifying opportunities, managing the pipeline, project-managing complex bids and writing tailored, persuasive applications. You'll be well supported: subject matter experts across the organisation will provide technical content for bids, budgets are prepared alongside finance, and our CEO and directors front the most senior funder relationships.

What you'll be doing

• Delivering a pipeline of high-quality grant and statutory/commissioned bids to meet agreed income targets, prioritising by value, likelihood and strategic fit
• Researching and identifying trust and foundation funding opportunities, and writing compelling, tailored proposals drawing on our impact data and stories
• Developing income from government, health and other commissioning bodies, including preparing and submitting tenders and procurement responses such as ITTs and PQQs
• Monitoring funding trends and emerging opportunities, including the developing commissioning landscape under the statutory gambling levy
• Building and maintaining positive relationships with funders, and developing stewardship plans to maximise engagement and retention
• Project-managing complex, multi-stage bids: planning timelines, coordinating stakeholders and turning colleagues' technical input into funder-ready copy
• Maintaining accurate pipeline and reporting records, and tracking progress against income targets
• Contributing to annual planning, budgeting and our wider income-generation strategy

What we're looking for

We're interested in hearing from candidates who have:

• A proven track record of securing significant and/or multi-year income from trusts, foundations or statutory funders
• Exceptional bid-writing skills: clear, persuasive, carefully edited proposals tailored to different funder audiences
• Experience project-managing complex bids, coordinating stakeholders and gathering technical content through multi-stage application processes
• An understanding of statutory funding and commissioning processes, including tendering and procurement routes such as ITTs and PQQs
• Excellent relationship management with funders or external stakeholders
• Strong numeracy and experience preparing budgets for funders
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
• Knowledge of the gambling harms, addiction, health or social welfare sectors would be advantageous, as would experience working in a small or growing charity, familiarity with CRM and fundraising databases, and experience contributing to a wider income-generation strategy.

Why join us?

You'll be joining a growing, ambitious charity making a real difference to people's lives. This is a rare chance to shape a brand-new role, own the full grants and contracts cycle from the ground up, and directly grow the income that funds our support for people affected by gambling harm.

This is a new role at High Trees, created because we believe Lambeth’s voluntary and community sector (VCS) is one of the borough’s greatest assets – strong, skilled and rooted in the communities it serves. Place-based organisations like ours play a vital role in supporting individuals, strengthening communities, growing local economies and shaping the policy decisions that affect the people we work with. We want a dedicated Manager who can help make that case, loudly and effectively, both within High Trees and across the wider system.

A key part of this role is our contract to deliver capacity building support to Lambeth’s VCS, commissioned by the local authority and delivered through the Lambeth Hubs Partnership – but this is one strand of a much bigger picture. We want this role to think beyond any single contract, taking a long-term view of what Lambeth’s VCS infrastructure support needs to look like, and leading the development of new approaches, including peer support models and a more circular economy across the sector.

Health and wellbeing is increasingly shaping where funding and investment in our sector flows, and we want Lambeth’s VCS to be ready and well-positioned to respond to this shift. You will play a leading role in this, working with partners including the SEL VCS Alliance to develop shared practice across South East London boroughs, and ensuring our sector’s voice is heard as these opportunities develop.

This role is as much strategic as it is operational – we’re never too far from the ground at High Trees, and you’ll be expected to lead on much of the day-to-day delivery yourself. That means designing and delivering workshops and one-to-one capacity building support, developing resources and toolkits, and running networking events that bring Lambeth’s VCS together. You’ll also build a network of trusted delivery partners – freelancers and facilitators, ideally drawn from within our own sector – helping to keep skills, income and opportunity circulating within Lambeth’s VCS.

As VCS Capacity Building Manager, you will lead High Trees’ work to strengthen Lambeth’s voluntary and community sector, acting as an advocate for High Trees and a champion for the wider sector, while managing funded contracts and programmes that support local organisations to grow their skills, systems and impact.

The role combines strategic leadership – shaping High Trees’ contribution to the future of VCS infrastructure support, and representing the sector within key partnerships – with hands-on operational delivery, including direct capacity building support, training and events. You will be confident managing multiple work streams, and equally comfortable working strategically and on the ground.

Tinnitus UK is looking for an experienced, ambitious and highly organised Operations Manager to join our senior team and play a key role in the leadership and future development of the charity.

You will work closely with our CEO, Board of Trustees and colleagues across the organisation to help turn our ambitions into action and ensure Tinnitus UK has the strong foundations, systems and ways of working it needs to succeed and to best support people living with tinnitus, and those who support them.

You will be an important link between the staff team and Board, bringing insight, challenge and practical solutions to organisational decision-making. You will lead and develop a small team, build strong relationships with external partners and suppliers, and take ownership of a broad portfolio spanning finance, governance, people, systems, risk, compliance and organisational improvement.

We are looking for someone who enjoys making organisations work better: someone who can see the bigger picture while also making sure the detail is right. You will be comfortable moving between strategic conversations with the CEO and Trustees and the practical work required to make things happen.

You do not need to be an expert in tinnitus. What matters is that you share our values, are motivated by our purpose and want to use your operational leadership to help Tinnitus UK achieve more for people affected by tinnitus.

About the role

As Operations Manager, you will provide leadership across Tinnitus UK’s internal operations, ensuring we have robust systems, financial oversight, governance, people processes and infrastructure in place to deliver our strategy.

Working closely with the CEO, you will translate organisational priorities into effective plans and ways of working. You will help create clarity across the organisation, identify risks and opportunities, make sure decisions are followed through and drive continuous improvement.

You will also play an important role in ensuring that Tinnitus UK is ready for the future: improving organisational resilience, strengthening our infrastructure and helping us develop the capacity to grow our reach and impact.

About you

We are looking for an experienced operations professional who enjoys making organisations work better and wants to take significant responsibility within a national charity.

You will be proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable bringing structure to complexity. You can see the bigger picture while making sure the detail is right, manage competing priorities and take ownership of work through to delivery.

You will be confident working with colleagues at all levels, from supporting and developing your team to discussing finance, governance and organisational priorities with the CEO and Trustees. You will build trusted relationships with external partners and suppliers and be comfortable offering constructive challenge when needed.

You will bring experience across a number of areas including organisational operations, financial management, project and change management, governance and risk, people management, suppliers and contracts, and organisational systems or CRM platforms.

Experience within the charity sector, membership organisations, digital transformation, events or professional education would be valuable, as would experience working closely with a CEO, senior leadership team or Board.

Most importantly, you will be collaborative, pragmatic and dependable, with the confidence to take ownership, maintain high standards and help create an organisation in which people can do their best work.

What we can offer

This is an opportunity to take on a genuinely influential role within Tinnitus UK at an important point in our development.

You will have the scope to shape how the charity operates, introduce improvements and work closely with our CEO and Board to strengthen the organisation for the future.

The role offers considerable variety. One day you might be discussing organisational risk and financial performance with Trustees; the next you could be improving a system, negotiating with a supplier, supporting a member of your team or developing the operational plan for a major national event.

You will join an organisation committed to improving the lives of people affected by tinnitus and a team that wants to continually improve the way we work and the impact we achieve.

Tinnitus UK is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

If you are an experienced operations professional looking for a senior role where you can influence, improve and help lead an organisation with a clear social purpose, we would love to hear from you. 

How to apply

Please apply with your CV and a cover letter outlining how you meet the person specification, including the experience and skills you would bring to Tinnitus UK.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 14 September 2026.

Interviews will take place in person on Wednesday 23 September 2026 at our Sheffield office.
