The Charity and The Vision.

For over 15 years, Scotty's Little Soldiers has been supporting children and young people who have been bereaved of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces.  We are about to embark on an exciting journey which will see the charity evolve to support anyone affected by a military-connected bereavement and ultimately empower a community of more than 25,000 bereaved individuals and their families by 2035.

Founded in 2010 by Nikki Scott following the death of her husband, Corporal Lee Scott, the charity currently offers a unique blend of emotional, practical, and educational support to over 750 young people.

We are proud of our vibrant, non-traditional culture, which puts the needs of bereaved children and young people at the heart of everything we do. We embrace innovative approaches, are committed to creating smiles and believe in the power of community, resilience, and connection.

Role Mission.

I am here to lead Scotty’s outreach to bereaved military families — helping more people find, trust, and access our support by creating a visible, welcoming, and engaged community.

I am accountable for:

• Developing and delivering Scotty’s Outreach strategy, aligned with the charity’s long-term vision and growth targets.
• Leading the development of a new in-house team, ensuring strong performance, alignment, and support across all outreach activities.
• Achieving our beneficiary reach and engagement targets, including community growth, email sign-ups & engagement, social reach, and event/webinar attendance.

• Ensure strong audience insight, segmentation, and tone of voice in all comms.
• Set and report on performance metrics to the CEO, SLT, and Trustees.
• Work closely with internal teams, especially our Service Delivery, to align comms and campaigns with our Programme goals, and to ensure we sensitively engaged with the bereaved military community.
• Uphold the Scotty’s tone and brand across all outreach activity — adapting to the needs of a sensitive, bereaved audience.

The 3-month goals for this role are:

• Build a deep understanding of Scotty’s mission, our audience, the services we provide, and strategic direction.
• Finalise the Outreach strategy with the CEO, including key audience segments, platform focus, and performance metrics.

• Produce and maintain a 90-day content and campaign plan, working closely with other teams.
• Establish baseline data for outreach KPIs and set up regular performance reporting.
• Picked up accountability for beneficiary marketing-related tools such as email, website, social etc.

The 6-month goals for this role are:

• Support the recruitment and onboarding of the Social Media Exec (TBC).
• Have created audience journeys and set up systems (CRM) to mirror them.
• Launch first targeted outreach campaigns focused on increasing awareness and sign-ups to services, particularly SMILES and SUPPORT programmes.
• Begin the repositioning journey for Scotty’s brand, working alongside PR & Comms and the CEO.
• Strengthen working relationships with Service Delivery to ensure handovers from outreach to support are smooth and consistent.
• Launched a regular programme of beneficiary focused comms including monthly email, annual magazine, daily social content.

The 9-month goals for this role are:

• Demonstrate progress against outreach KPIs (e.g. increased social reach, community email sign-ups, beneficiary engagement).
• Deliver a successful cycle of outreach to support 2+ SMILES or SUPPORT campaigns/events.
• Complete internal and external review of what’s working in outreach — optimise content, messaging, and tactics accordingly.
• Refine and relaunch Scotty’s beneficiary-facing email comms strategy to improve open and click-through rates.
• Begin developing a 12-month Outreach roadmap for Year 2, including content themes, campaign ideas, and team development needs.

Remote (UK-based) with expensed travel to London
Full-time, permanent

Akshaya Patra is one of the world’s largest school meals charities – nourishing 2.35 million children in India every day and now expanding our impact across the UK.

Our UK after-school programme, Empower Hour, provides hot, nutritious meals and targeted tuition to children growing up in poverty – extending the school day by 60 minutes to give them the fuel, support and enrichment they need to thrive.

What began in one school in 2024 is already serving ten, and – alongside driving continued expansion in India – we are now ready to scale our delivery to reach thousands more children across the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.

To help lead this exciting phase of growth, we are seeking a Director of Finance and Operations – a senior leader who combines strong financial stewardship with operational leadership and is motivated by purpose as much as performance.

You will sit on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the CEO, and oversee two core portfolios:

• Programmes – overseeing Watford kitchen operations, Empower Hour delivery and holiday hunger initiatives.
• Finance and Resources – leading financial planning and reporting, systems, compliance, HR development and organisational infrastructure.

This role will suit someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical implementation – someone who finds energy in building strong foundations and helping a values-led organisation grow well.

You may have built your career in charity, education, food provision, public services, the private sector or elsewhere – but you will bring:

• Senior-level experience across finance, operations or programme delivery.
• Strong financial acumen and understanding of charity governance and compliance.
• A collaborative leadership style – supporting, challenging and uplifting those you lead.
• Deep alignment with our mission to fight child hunger and educational inequality.

What we offer:

• Flexible and remote working.
• 34 days’ leave (25 days annual leave + Diwali + English bank holidays).
• Employer pension contribution.
• Investment in professional and vocational development.
• A meaningful leadership role in a growing global movement – empowering children in both the UK and India.

• Download the full job description and application details here or on our website.
• Please send your CV and a cover letter to the email address in the applicant pack outlining both your suitability for the role and what attracts you to Akshaya Patra and our mission.
• Closing date: Monday 3 November 2025.

If you believe no child should be held back by hunger – and you have the leadership skills and desire to help grow an organisation that makes that possible – we would love to hear from you.
