Governance jobs

Over the past decade, Escapeline has become a recognised leader in the prevention of child criminal and sexual exploitation across the South West. Through awareness raising, education, direct intervention, family support, professional training and strong partnership working, we have empowered thousands of children, young people, families and professionals to better understand, identify and respond to the risks of exploitation.

Our work has never been more important. As the nature of exploitation continues to evolve, so too must our response. We are therefore seeking an exceptional Chief Executive who can provide visionary leadership, inspire confidence among stakeholders, strengthen strategic partnerships and ensure Escapeline continues to be at the forefront of protecting vulnerable children and young people.

Building on our strong foundations, we see significant opportunities to expand our reach and deepen our impact, particularly across Dorset and Wiltshire, where support for the charity remains strong and continues to grow. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the next chapter of our development, broadening our influence, diversifying income streams, enhancing our services and securing long-term sustainability.

While preventing the exploitation of children will always remain our core purpose, we are equally committed to supporting the wider impact that exploitation has on families. Our specialist helpline and parent support community provide a vital source of guidance, understanding and hope for families who often feel isolated and overlooked by traditional support services. We are determined to strengthen and expand this provision, ensuring that no family faces these challenges alone.

We are looking for a leader who combines strategic vision with emotional intelligence, commercial awareness with compassion, and ambition with an unwavering commitment to our values. You will lead a dedicated team, work alongside an engaged and supportive Board of Trustees, and build on a reputation that has been earned through years of trusted and impactful work.

Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to make a lasting difference to the lives of children, young people and families at a time when that difference is urgently needed.

If you are inspired by our mission and share our ambition to create safer futures for children and young people, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Whether your background is in gambling-specific treatment or in the wider addiction and recovery field, drug and alcohol services, mental health, or related social care, being a Gambling Support Practitioner is a strong fit for people with real experience supporting behaviour change.

You'll find plenty here that's familiar: full structured interventions using CBT and motivational interviewing, supporting people through assessment, formulation and recovery planning, as well as brief check-ins for clients further along in recovery, all delivered within GamCare's Model of Care. Sessions are delivered face to face, by phone and by video, alongside outreach and partnership work with local services and referral pathways. You'll manage this with your own professional judgement on complex cases, working within clear governance and safeguarding frameworks and backed by regular supervision, using the core skills you already have, applied in a new context and grounded in a proven, structured model. 

About you

We're looking for someone with real experience delivering CBT-informed or motivational interventions, wherever that experience comes from. You'll be confident managing a caseload with genuine complexity and risk, comfortable using both low- and high-intensity interventions, and able to work within clear governance and safeguarding frameworks while using your own professional judgement. Experience specifically with gambling harm is welcome but not required, and many strong practitioners in this field have come from adjacent addiction or mental health backgrounds.

Working at GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is one of the leading providers of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. We operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for anyone who is harmed by gambling, create awareness about safer gambling and treatment, and encourage an effective approach to safer gambling within the gambling industry. 

Our people tell us GamCare is a genuinely supportive place to work. We invest in training and development, and are committed to inclusion, welcoming applications from all backgrounds, including candidates with lived experience of gambling harm.

Staff Benefits we can offer you:

• 33 days basic annual leave entitlement per annum (pro-rated for part-time colleagues) including bank holidays which increases with service.
• A generous Pension Scheme - we contribute 6% and you contribute 2%.
• Discretionary company sick pay after 6 months’ service.
• Employee Assistance Programme – 24-hour support
• Premium access to the CALM app for you and up to 5 dependents

Closing date for applications: 31 August 2026 (23:59).

Due to the anticipated volume of applications, we may conduct pre-assessment screening calls between 1st and 2nd September2026.

Interviews are expected to take place in person from 14 September 2026.

GamCare is committed to offering the best support to people affected by gambling harms, as such we welcome applications from candidates with lived experience.

The role maintains high standards of clinical governance, records interventions accurately and ensures each client receives safe, responsive and effective therapeutic support.

About You

You’ll be comfortable supporting people affected by trauma and able to provide structured, evidence-based psychological interventions within a flexible and person-centred approach. You may already have experience of working with men, sexual harms, mental health or complex needs, although we also welcome candidates whose transferable experience has prepared them for this work. You’ll be able to build trusting therapeutic relationships, work safely within professional boundaries and adapt your approach to the individual in front of you.

The Role

We are looking for a Grants Manager to join the Law Society to lead the delivery and development of our grant funding activity. Working across the full grant lifecycle, you will oversee funding programmes from screening, application and assessment through to monitoring, reporting and evaluation. You will ensure grants are administered effectively, in line with agreed governance arrangements, organisational policies and strategic objectives.

The role also involves stakeholder management with funded organisations and internal stakeholders, supporting decision-making groups and committees, monitoring performance and risk, and ensuring accurate reporting on outcomes and impact. You will also contribute to the continuous improvement of grant management processes, evaluation frameworks and reporting approaches, helping to maximise the value and effectiveness of our funding activities.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a collaborative environment and is passionate about supporting initiatives that deliver meaningful impact.

What we're looking for

We are seeking an organised and proactive professional with experience of managing grants, funding programmes or similar portfolios. You will have strong project management skills and be confident coordinating multiple activities and priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

You will be comfortable analysing information, assessing risks and producing clear reports and recommendations for a range of audiences. Experience of working within governance frameworks, carrying out due diligence activities and ensuring compliance with relevant policies and regulations will be highly beneficial.

The successful candidate will be an excellent relationship builder, capable of working effectively with internal colleagues, external organisations, committees and senior stakeholders. You will be a strong communicator with the ability to influence, collaborate and provide guidance where required. Above all, you will share the Law Society's commitment to inclusion, integrity and delivering positive outcomes through partnership working.

What's in it for you

Joining the Law Society means becoming part of an organisation that plays a vital role in supporting the legal profession and promoting access to justice. You will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work that makes a tangible difference to organisations and communities across the sector.

We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment where collaboration, professional development and continuous learning are encouraged.

Head of Finance and Operations 

Salary: £45,000–£50,000 per annum, plus performance-related bonus of up to £5,000 per annum
Location: South London
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Hybrid working: Up to one day per week from home, with additional flexibility possible

We are working with an established arts and education charity to recruit a new Head of Finance and Operations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, ambitious organisation delivering a range of artistic, educational and community programmes. The charity receives income from a diverse mix of public funding, trusts and foundations, individual giving, sponsorship and commercial activity.

Sitting within the Leadership Team and working closely with the Director, this is a genuinely broad role encompassing finance, operations, governance, HR and organisational management.

A key part of the role will be leading the charity’s financial management and planning. You’ll manage the annual budget, produce quarterly management accounts and cash-flow forecasts, oversee VAT returns and work closely with external accountants and auditors on the year-end accounts and audit. You’ll also work with budget holders, senior colleagues, trustees and the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee to ensure strong financial management across the organisation.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have previous experience working within a small charity or similarly sized not-for-profit organisation. This isn’t a role where finance sits in isolation – you’ll need to be comfortable getting into the detail, working across different areas of the organisation and balancing strategic responsibilities with the practical realities of working in a smaller charity.

Strong charity finance experience will therefore be important. You’ll need to understand the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funding, be confident managing and reporting against different funding streams and have a good working knowledge of Charity SORP.

Experience of dealing with funders and their different reporting and monitoring requirements will also be particularly useful.

Alongside finance, you’ll oversee a varied operational remit including building and office management, HR processes, organisational policies and governance. You’ll also support the Board and committees, take responsibility for company secretarial duties and maintain relationships with key funders and stakeholders.

This role would suit someone who enjoys the variety that comes with working in a small charity – practical, organised and collaborative, with the confidence to operate at leadership and trustee level while still being happy to roll their sleeves up when required.

You don’t necessarily need to tick every box. We’re keen to hear from candidates with strong charity finance experience who can demonstrate the ability to manage a broad and varied remit.

The role sits on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the Charity Director. You will manage a General Manager and Freelance Bookkeeper.

Fully-qualified and part-qualified ACCA, CIMA or ACA candidates will be considered.

Please send your CV for further consideration.

Closing date: 10am, Monday 21 September 2026.

Are you looking for a life mission and a rewarding career where you can help find ways of tackling social and environmental problems in the UK and globally? Do you want to change the world and people’s lives? 

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are intellectually curious and understand the value of how collaborative design, flexible delivery and clear accountability can contribute to achieving a positive social, health and environmental impact.

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a mission-driven not-for-profit social enterprise. We work with Government, community groups and specialist partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from education and wellbeing to housing, employment and environmental protection.

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a not-for-profit subsidiary of Bridges Fund Management, a specialist impact-driven fund manager. Over the last decade, we have had the privilege of working on 100+ outcomes contracts, supporting over 1,400,000 people, delivering £200m+ worth of outcomes across the globe and creating £1.9bn+ of public value in the UK

There is a strong case for expanding Social Outcomes Partnerships in the UK and other high-income countries: Needs in our communities are increasingly complex and interconnected. Traditional service provision and delivery often struggle to tackle wicked social problems. There has been an unprecedented rise in referrals to children social care, populations who are experiencing homelessness, people managing multiple chronic conditions, facing domestic abuse challenges in their households, and many other multi-faceted issues. Public resources are stretched – making long-term holistic funding for comprehensive services challenging. Traditional input-based models often fail to improve lives of communities and achieve poor value for public money. This is why Social Outcomes Partnerships can be part of the solution – offering holistic, localised, and personalised solutions with our communities. With more than fifteen years of experience, Bridges Outcomes Partnerships can play a role in galvanising more outcomes-based approaches, creating long-term impact through accountability, collaborative design, and flexible delivery while achieving better value for money for outcomes payers.

The role of Bridges Outcomes Partnerships spans project development (working with outcome funders and others to design and launch the delivery), partnership coordination, project and delivery management (coordinating the delivery phase and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (sourcing social investment to fund the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Better Society Capital, UBS Optimus Foundation, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.

In the year to come, we are focused on growing our direct and systemic impact nationally and internationally, and we are incredibly excited about your help on this journey!

We would love to hear from you if you are:

· Curious, analytical, highly numerate, and great at solving problems 

· Exceptional at building strong working relationships with team members and across a range of stakeholders

· Flexible and adaptable team player with a can-do attitude

· Able to undertake a variety of activities with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy

About the opportunity:

We are looking for someone exceptional to join our team as we build new projects and partnerships.

As a Social Investment Manager, you will work on the outcomes contracts activity in both the UK and other high-income countries. You will develop new projects and partnerships along with ongoing management of the existing portfolio.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll do:

> Initiate and execute the development of outcomes partnerships opportunities: Identifying and engaging with challenges faced by central and local government and delivery partners to develop impactful delivery models which tackle those challenges.

> Lead on the implementation of a full project lifecycle of an outcomes-based project and a portfolio of outcomes partnerships, including tasks such as leading on initial assessment and investment processes in project development, developing outcome contract models, leading operational and financial analysis, managing complete legal negotiations and documentation processes.

> Innovating in our delivery: Proactively engaging with key stakeholders to develop and implement delivery innovations while considering any key assumptions around operations, impact, and finance; supporting teams to solve problems using first principles. This includes working with delivery partners to help create the best possible impact in sustainable ways, by identifying issues and opportunities, initiating projects, and developing delivery innovations.

> Creating and maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships: Engage in strong rapport-building with commissioners, outcome funders, and delivery partner teams; identify best delivery team structure for our internal operational teams; and contribute to social investor meetings to present project and market development activities.

Key attributes we are looking for:

> A genuine passion to drive social change: We are constantly searching for new ways to dramatically change the status quo. This requires someone with excellent attention to detail and who will demonstrate the ability to lead on impact and value creation.

> Ability to deliver more than the system expects: We believe that more is possible than the current system is achieving, and we need to demonstrate this in practice. This requires tenacity and relentless optimism.

> Ability to think differently: We will not succeed by copying existing models or structures. Our projects and investments all require the team to think through each problem from first principles and find the most effective and efficient new solution in each case. This requires logic, analytical rigour, and a willingness to question assumptions. It also requires the desire to work in a dynamic environment, along with the ability to be solutions-focused and work in a small team.

> Ability to build and maintain trust: We aim for the edge of what we believe is possible, from ourselves and our partners; this can only be achieved through mutual trust. Everything we do must be open to scrutiny and full transparency. This requires excellent interpersonal skills and absolute integrity.

>  A self-starter comfortable working through complexity and co-ordinating diverse sets of stakeholders against tight deadlines and competing priorities.

Suitable candidates will have:

> 7+ years of experience working in social investment, financial and senior operational roles within the VCSE sector, management consulting, public sector delivery, or similar sectors.

> Excellent financial and modelling skills, with extensive experience in supporting the development of comprehensive business/financial plans.

> Strong delivery and investment, advisory and/or operational track record.

> Higher degree level education or equivalent experience.

> Exceptional interpersonal skills, adept at working with multiple stakeholders.

> Experience supporting the development of comprehensive value creation strategies.

> Strong strategic, commercial and entrepreneurial judgement.

> Experience of working with government partners to develop social change projects is desirable.

> Experience of the social sector is desirable.

> Experience of impact investing is desirable.

> Experience working on projects tackling developmental challenges, preferably in areas like education, health and employment is desirable.

> Dutch language skills are desirable (as this role is anticipated to work on an outcomes partnerships in the Netherlands).
