Do you have a passion for God’s mission in London?  

Do you have a heart for people who are least likely to hear the gospel?     

Do you love helping other Christians to share their faith with greater confidence and to make mission happen in practical ways?   

At London City Mission, we want to see Jesus Christ known in every community across London. To do this we develop partnerships with churches, often in communities where people are least likely to hear the gospel. Our teams aim to help churches develop greater confidence and effectiveness in their mission to reach their own local communities. We are now looking for a Mission Associate to join us to be involved in this vital work, and to help mission happen through local churches in our diverse city. We will train, develop and support you to help you build on what you already bring, so that you can be the best you can be in your role, and help you develop further your own missional skills and experience.

This city is home to people whose everyday experience can be one of rejection and helplessness or who come from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds where they have no friend who can share the gospel or take them to church. Our vision is to see both churches and individuals equipped and empowered to reach the communities around them. This means equipping and mobilising churches to be more intentional and effective in their mission. 

In the Mission Associate role, you will work as part of our teams to:

• Collaborate with and equip churches in evangelism to those who are marginalised or least likely to hear the gospel in their local area 

• Contribute to the development of sustainable, structured, innovative missional teams in local churches 

• Do mission research and mapping of the mission needs and opportunities in a local area 

• Contribute to networking with churches in a local area by, for example, building a list of churches and connecting them with the right LCM colleagues with a view to mission partnership. 

The Mission Associate role we are looking to fill will involve ministering in the Pan-London Schools Team with a focus on Children, Youth and Schools (CYS). 

You would be joining LCM at an exciting time as we take forward our new five-year strategy. Our aim over the next five years is to see 150 new missional teams established in churches across London. These missional teams are groups of church members who “own” outreach to a particular group, are recognised by the leadership, and pray for each other, using their varied gifts regularly to minister to that group. We pray that, together by 2029, these teams will be part of 25,000 gospel conversations within communities where Jesus Christ isn't known.

Our Mission Associates are wholly committed followers of Jesus who bring their passion and skills to contribute to the work of our teams, helping to research the mission needs of an area, supporting networking with churches, helping to train and equip church volunteers in practical evangelism, or helping churches develop their mission work. Successful candidates will be able to prove their ability to contribute to our field teams in these ways. Our professional and established internal training team and your line manager and others, will train, develop and support you in your role so that you develop your own missional skills and evangelism experience.

If this sounds like you, please visit our website and download the Job Description for more information. 

There is an occupational requirement that the people appointed to these roles will be evangelical Christians. The Occupational Requirement provision of the Equality Act 2010 applies. The appointed candidates will be required to undertake a DBS check.

This role is a full-time, fixed-term appointment for two years.

Salary: £28,808 per annum.

Closing date for applications: Thursday 9th October 2025 at 12 noon.

About us

The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute. 

Our Values

Our values underpin everything we do:

• Inclusive: We are inclusive. We work with - not for - refugees and people seeking asylum, so they have an equal voice, co-producing projects and ensuring their expertise and experiences are at the heart of what we do.
• Collaborative: We are collaborative. Working with others is a priority in order to have the collective impact that is vital to achieve policy and practice reform.
• Courageous: We speak out when we see injustice, cruelty and unfairness. We always stand up for what we believe is the right thing to do to transform the experiences of those seeking protection in our country.
• Respectful: We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone – our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with – with the same respect, professionalism and understanding.

About the role

The resettlement team provides advice and support for refugees on resettlement and relocation schemes to help them access services and mainstream provision and establish community links. Working closely with local stakeholders and in partnership with other voluntary sector agencies running similar services across the UK, the Refugee Council resettlement team promotes both the integration and independence of this group.

The Refugee Council has agreed to work in partnership with Migration Yorkshire and Local Authorities across Yorkshire and Humberside to deliver the regional Resettlement programmes. Since 2022 this has included supporting people who have arrived on the Homes for Ukraine scheme in Doncaster/East Riding. Both Doncaster and East Riding Councils have agreed to a 6-month extension to resettlement support on the scheme. There are a small number of new arrivals in the areas and changes to the Homes for Ukraine scheme, including visa extensions (UPE) mean that some clients still require some assistance.

The role will principally consist of offering support on single issues via drop-in, appointments, outreach and occasional home-visits. This will include offering information and assistance with the Ukraine Permission Extension scheme. The role may include offering casework support for clients in crisis for slightly longer periods with agreement from line managers. The role will also involve introducing our service to clients newly arrived on Homes for Ukraine in Doncaster/East Riding and supporting with immediate needs.

The Resettlement Worker (Doncaster/East Riding Homes for Ukraine) will work alongside other Resettlement Workers in the city, sharing workspaces. The role will involve lone-working, including home visits in accordance with Refugee Council’s lone-working policies.

Staff benefits

To reward our staff for the value they bring, we offer a variety of enhanced terms and conditions and a wide range of benefits, including:

• Training & Development
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension Scheme
• Work Life Balance Policies
• Employer-Sponsored Volunteering
• And more.

Let’s work together to improve the lives of refugees in the UK - apply on our website today.

Closing date: 3 October 2025.

This vacancy may close earlier than the stated deadline if a high volume of applications is received. We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.

Ensuring that the Refugee Council is an inclusive and accessible place to work is important to us. We want to enable people from different backgrounds to apply and thrive with us. We believe our recruitment process enables that and are also happy to make adjustments on request.

About London Transport Museum (LTM)

Located in the heart of Covent Garden, London Transport Museum is the world’s leading museum of urban transport and an award-winning visitor destination. But we are much more than a museum—we are a heritage and education charity with a mission to ignite curiosity and shape the future.

We inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, scientists, and creatives by engaging every primary school in London. We collaborate with industry leaders to address key urban challenges, from smart cities to sustainable innovation. We are committed to closing skills gaps, addressing gender imbalances, and creating opportunities for underrepresented communities.

We are not a DCMS funded Museum and generate 80% of our income through admissions, fundraising and commercial enterprises. We are halfway through an ambitious five-year strategy (2023–2028), focused on sustainable growth, innovation, and impact. We’re investing in people, systems, and our public offer – all with a view to becoming Future Fit and ready for our 50th anniversary in 2030.

Safeguarding is central to our work. We welcome children, young people, and vulnerable adults through our programmes and ensure all staff and volunteers are DBS-checked, trained, and confident in our safeguarding procedures.

The Role

As Chief Financial Officer, you will lead the financial strategy and operations of LTM, ensuring robust financial management, governance, and performance. This is a pivotal role on the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), reporting directly to the Director and attending all Board meetings. You will also deputise for the Director when required.

This role goes beyond traditional finance leadership. You will be a moderniser—driving transformation, leading negotiations, overseeing broader business support functions, and contribute to LTM50, including capital programme oversight. You will be the face of financial and business systems at LTM, helping to deliver a future-fit museum aligned with our strategic vision.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and management of LTM’s overall budget, ensuring financial sustainability across short, medium, and long-term goals
• Oversee all aspects of financial control, governance, reporting, and compliance with statutory, charity, and TfL requirements
• Deliver timely and accurate statutory accounts, budgets, forecasts, and management reports
• Lead business support functions and liaise with TfL departments including HR, Procurement, Reward, Tech and Data and Finance
• Provide strategic financial advice to the Board of Trustees, SLT, and wider teams
• Represent LTM in financial negotiations with external partners and suppliers
• Champion a high-performing, inclusive finance team—setting clear goals, recognising success, and modelling LTM’s values
• Collaborate closely with TfL Finance to ensure alignment and efficiency
• Ensure all financial and legal obligations are met and policies are up to date and followed

The successful candidate will be a fully qualified accountant with a proven track record in senior finance leadership roles within complex organisations, and will be able to demonstrate:

• Experience at Board level and ability to work in collaboration with Trustees and colleagues;
• Understanding and experience of strategic risk management, finance audit and internal controls;
• Broad operational knowledge including digital transformation, estates, and HR;
• Experience navigating challenging financial climates and driving efficiencies.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual.  We are seeking a confident, dynamic and engaging individual with excellent communication skills and confidence to operate at the highest levels. Experience in the charity or cultural sector would be an advantage. If you are a strategic, forward-thinking finance leader ready to help shape the future of London Transport Museum, we’d love to hear from you.

Please submit your CV, with a supporting statement describing why you would be the best person to join this team and make London Transport Museum the best it can be.

Are you passionate about advancing girls’ sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally? Are you ready to make an immediate impact by influencing the UK Government and working with civil society and young people for greater change? Our policy and advocacy work is at a critical stage as we defend and advance girls’ rights in the face of global rollback.

In this short but high-impact role, you will help deliver key influencing opportunities on the UK Government’s commitments to SRHR, while maintaining influential relationships across government, Parliament and civil society. You’ll also lead political influencing on major advocacy moments — including the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) and the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) — in meaningful partnership with young people.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with a fellow SRHR Policy and Advocacy Adviser and the Senior Policy and Advocacy Manager, combining strengths to maximise our influence and deliver real impact for girls’ rights.

As part of our dynamic Policy, Campaigns and Youth team, you’ll work collaboratively across Plan International UK and with our federation partners to ensure our influencing strategies remain credible, evidence-based, and rooted in feminist, anti-racist and decolonial approaches.

You’ll bring strong policy and advocacy experience, ideally with a track record of shaping UK Government policy and working on SRHR. Confident in building and managing high-level relationships, including with senior government officials, you’ll be quick to apply your expertise in producing persuasive policy positions and communications. You’ll also be a champion for youth-centred influencing, supporting young people to engage meaningfully in global advocacy spaces.

Experience of working within the UN system and knowledge of SRHR multilateral financing mechanisms would be an advantage.

You’ll be committed to Plan International UK’s positions and approach on promoting gender equality, diversity and inclusion and anti-racism and integrating this into all aspects of our work.

Please note: availability to travel to New York and prepare and follow-up activities on the Commission on Population and Development is essential (30 March – 24 April 2026).

We aim to provide an inclusive, friendly and supportive environment, where our values and purpose are at the heart of everything we do.
