One of London’s historic “Magnificent Seven” cemeteries, the Cemetery Park is now a Local Nature Reserve and a vital green space in the heart of the East End — where biodiversity, heritage and community come together.
Founded in 1990, the Friends are an award-winning charity dedicated to protecting and caring for this unique site. Now, we are looking for a values-driven, collaborative leader to help strengthen our organisation for the future.
About the role
This is a senior leadership position within a collaborative charity structure. You will:
– Work closely with the Board of Trustees on strategy and governance
– Lead on finance, fundraising and organisational sustainability
– Support and develop staff and volunteers
– Represent the charity externally
– Work in close partnership with our longstanding Cemetery Park Manager
Importantly, this is not a corporate CEO role. It is an opportunity to lead within a community-rooted, place-based charity where humility, partnership and emotional intelligence matter as much as strategy.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has senior experience in a charity or values-led organisation
- Understands governance and financial sustainability
- Can build trust with staff, volunteers and stakeholders
- Is excited by heritage, conservation and community
As a small charity, this role balances strategic thinking with hands-on involvement.

Lead Financial Strategy. Enable Extraordinary Care.
At Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service, we provide specialist care and vital support to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Berkshire and surrounding counties.
It costs £3.4 million each year to maintain our current level of care, with minimal government funding. Every decision we make must balance compassion with sustainability. We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance to help secure our long-term future and develop services in line with demand.
This is more than a finance role. It is an opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a much-loved local charity and ensure we continue reaching every child and family who needs us.

- Provide strategic financial leadership and be a key member of the Senior Management Team
- Lead long-term financial planning to ensure sustainability and resilience
- Oversee budgeting, forecasting, cashflow and reserves management
- Ensure compliance with charity accounting standards and statutory requirements
- Present clear, insightful financial reports to the Board of Trustees
- Be responsible for financial controls, systems and governance
You will work closely with the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team, helping to shape the future direction of the organisation.
About You
We are looking for a strategic and values-driven finance leader who brings:
- A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- Significant senior financial leadership experience
- Strong experience in strategic planning, budgeting and financial governance
- The ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-financial audiences
- High levels of integrity, judgement and emotional intelligence
Charity or healthcare experience is welcome but not essential. We are equally interested in candidates from commercial or public sector backgrounds who are motivated to apply their expertise in a purpose-driven environment.
Why Join Us?
- Work in a beautiful, purpose-built hospice in Maidenhead
- Generous annual leave, including your birthday off and additional “Alexander Days”
- Pension and Death in Service cover
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Free on-site parking
- A genuinely supportive, values-led culture

• Write and submit high-quality funding applications, working collaboratively with service managers to develop project proposals

• Champion digital fundraising initiatives and enhance supporter journeys to improve engagement and retention
• Raise Tiphereth's profile through media engagement, events and participation in sector networks
5. Community Fundraising and Events
• Develop and grow community fundraising income including individual giving, regular giving and legacy programmes
• Plan and deliver fundraising events and supporter engagement activities that reflect Tiphereth's values

About Us
Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.
We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.
