Are you an experienced operational leader who enjoys bringing people, processes and systems together to make an organisation work better?

We’re working with a fantastic Bath-based education charity to recruit a new Head of Operations at an exciting point in its development.

This is a broad and influential role, overseeing the organisation’s central operations across finance, facilities, data and insight, and administration. You’ll manage a team of experienced functional leads and create the effective ‘engine room’ that allows the wider organisation to focus on delivering for its beneficiaries.

The role

The Longford Trust supports young serving and former prisoners to go to university. We aim to level the playing field between our graduates and every other recent graduate in Britain so that all have an equal chance of landing fulfilling graduate employment as a first step on the career ladder.  The cost and hard work of a degree is accepted by those we support in the hope that it will open up well-paid job opportunities that would not have been available had they not taken out the student loan to get a degree.  This is taken for granted by students who haven’t been to prison. Why should those who have been working just as hard, if not harder, and taken on the same debts, not expect a similar chance?

We are looking for a part-time Employability Manager to join our small team, to help us achieve this.

At Just Finance Foundation (JFF), we exist to change how children grow up with money.

The opportunity

You’ll lead the development and launch of a significant new digital platform, taking an established vision and turning it into a high-quality experience for our users.

This is a hands-on development role with genuine product ownership. You’ll write code, solve technical problems and make architecture decisions, while working closely with marketing and programme delivery colleagues to understand user needs, shape priorities and own the product roadmap.

As part of a small charity, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible difference, but you’ll also need to be pragmatic and resourceful. You’ll work within real-world budget and capacity constraints, finding proportionate solutions, making smart trade-offs and focusing resources where they can have the greatest impact.

You’ll also help us build for the future by establishing the technical foundations, documentation and ways of working that enable JFF to confidently own and develop the product beyond this 12-month role.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who combines strong hands-on web development skills with excellent product understanding. You’ll bring:

· Significant experience building and maintaining WordPress websites or digital products.

· Strong front-end skills alongside back-end development experience.

· Experience developing WordPress beyond standard configuration, including custom functionality and integrations.

· Experience with APIs and data flows between digital systems.

· Experience taking a substantial digital product or feature from requirements through to launch.

· Strong product thinking and the ability to balance user value, organisational needs and technical feasibility.

· A good understanding of accessibility, security, performance and maintainable development.

· Comfort using AI-assisted development tools and workflows to support faster, higher-quality delivery, with appropriate judgement around quality, security and maintainability.

· The ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical colleagues.

Experience with Salesforce integrations, agentic coding tools, analytics, user research or usability testing would be an advantage. Charity or education experience is welcome, but not essential.

You’ll enjoy building things, solving problems and taking ownership. You’ll be pragmatic and resourceful, comfortable making good decisions with limited budgets and capacity, and motivated by the opportunity to see the difference your work can make in a small, purpose-driven charity.

What we offer

Our clients support a diverse range of causes and manage every type of property imaginable. In the past year, we’ve advised on office buildings, church premises, oast houses, former schools, libraries, theatres, fields, industrial units, and more.

You’ll be part of a team of extraordinary senior property professionals who share a passion for making a positive impact.

Deadline for Applications:

Thursday 1st October with interviews being held remotely on Teams on Thursday 15th October.

Your covering letter should explain:

• Why you would like to work with the Ethical Property Foundation.
• What you can offer our clients.
• Your voluntary sector and professional experience.

Every grant you win becomes someone's first conversation in English, their first step into a job interview, their first time speaking up at a housing tribunal.

English for Action (EFA) is looking for a Partnerships Manager to grow the funding that powers our free, participatory ESOL classes for around 400 migrants across London. Our classes don't just teach English, they build the confidence and collective power people need to organise around housing and employment rights.

About the role

Working closely with our Fundraising Lead, you'll take real ownership of relationships with trusts, foundations and corporate funders, while helping shape how we diversify our income going forward. This is a role with genuine scope to bring your own ideas and see them through, not just execute someone else's plan.

You will:
- Write compelling grant applications, funding proposals and reports that win and retain funding
- Research and build a realistic pipeline of trusts, liveries and corporate foundations
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing donors and prospects
- Contribute to EFA's fundraising strategy, including newer income streams such as statutory, corporate, individual giving, membership and events
- Liaise with our Executive Team, Hub Leads and Project Managers so funding proposals stay grounded in what's actually happening in our classrooms and communities
- Maintain accurate donor and grant records on Donorfy, and support monitoring and evaluation of project outcomes

About you

You don't need a degree, and you're not expected to tick every box, nobody does. We're looking for someone with a track record of successful grant writing, strong research and relationship-building skills, and the organisation to manage multiple funding deadlines at once. Knowledge of the UK charity sector and UK trusts and foundations is essential; experience with public sector or EU education funding is a bonus.

If you have lived experience of migration and/or learning English as an additional language, we'd love to hear from you and how you'd like to draw on it in this role.

About EFA

English for Action provides free, participatory, empowering ESOL classes for migrants in London, spaces where students build community and organise collectively around issues like employment and housing rights. We're a national centre of good practice for a radical, participatory approach to ESOL, and we share this approach through training, research and partnerships. We're a team of 11 staff, a wider team of volunteers, and 7 trustees, run through shared leadership rather than a CEO, decisions are made collaboratively, and we aim for our structure to reflect that.

What we offer

- 22.5 hours (3 days) a week, mostly remote, with just monthly in-person meetings in London
- 28 days' annual leave (pro rata) after probation, plus bank holidays, plus a full week's paid closure over Christmas
- 6% matched pension contribution
- Enhanced sick pay, and enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental leave
- Wellbeing allowance and full entitlement to leave for sickness, including mental ill-health
- A genuinely flat, non-hierarchical culture with collaborative decision-making on strategy and practice
- Tech and cycle scheme, and actively encouraged continuous personal development

Equal opportunities

EFA particularly encourages applications from people of colour, who are currently underrepresented at EFA and across the charity sector, and from people who have experienced moving to the UK or have English as an additional language. Where two or more candidates are of equal merit, priority may be given to a candidate from a less well-represented group. Please let us know about any access or other requirements we can accommodate.

Closing date: 11.59pm, Wednesday 30th September 2026
Skills test: w/c 5th October 2026 (writing and budgeting)
Interviews: Friday 9th / 16th October 2026
