___________________________________________________________________________
Organisational Background
The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge, to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff. The Fellowship Programme is the continuation of the rescue mission operation started in 1933.
Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for just over 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Cara support is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk.
Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’

MLC are proud to be partnered with Young Roots to recruit their new Head of Finance & Internal Operations.
Currently celebrating their 20th anniversary, Young Roots is a rapidly expanding, London-based charity working with young refugees and asylum seekers aged 11-25, most of whom are alone in the UK without their families. Having grown significantly over the past 4 years, they support young people to improve their wellbeing and fulfil their potential, through intensive one-to-one casework, youth and sporting activities, English language mentoring, youth leadership and access to specialist therapeutic and legal advice.
They are also now utilising our years of frontline work and deep understanding of the challenges faced by young refugees and asylum seekers for policy influencing and campaigning, to bring about positive change.
Reporting directly into the CEO, the role is a key member of the senior leadership team, with significant involvement in the strategic vision of the organisation as a whole. With a broad portfolio, the role combines both operational and strategic elements and must be able to flex up and down accordingly. With multiple offices across London, the role is hybrid but has a number of options to be as flexible as possible.
Main responsibilities of the role:
- Manage, lead and develop a team of 4 direct reports across finance, HR, estates and IT, ensuring high quality delivery across all areas.

The successful candidate will:
- Be a qualified accountant with experience working in the not-for-profit sector or have experience working with charities from an audit perspective.
- Have drive and ambition, but they don’t necessarily need to have held a similar role beforehand. Someone stepping up into their first SLT role would be a great fit for the organisation.

- Have experience dealing with large and complex restricted funds, demonstrating understanding of how best to process and streamline these.

London City Mission shares the gospel alongside the local church of London, equipping everyday Christians to lovingly bring a message of hope in Christ to those least likely to hear it.
One in two people don’t have a Christian friend to invite them to church, open a Bible with them, or tell them the good news of Jesus. We want to see that change. The poor areas of London are incredibly diverse, in fact London is the most ethnically diverse in the world, growing at over 100,000 people a year. The world has come to London – we long to see the Gospel taken to the world by working alongside churches to visit homes and go out into the streets of London with the good news of the Gospel.
