Do you want to play a vital role in supporting a charity who are reshaping the systems that support children and young people across the UK? Are you a values led finance and operations leader who thrives on both strategic thinking and hands-on problem solving? Can you help steward a high performing, mission driven organisation through its next phase of growth and impact?
Dartington Service Design Lab is a national charity that harnesses experience, cutting edge evidence and design to tackle the challenges children and young people face today, securing thriving futures for tomorrow. As we move forward with our refreshed strategy, we are looking for a new Director of Finance and Operations to join our Senior Leadership Team.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the Lab’s operational heart; from finance and governance to people, culture, IT and compliance. You'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team to ensure our infrastructure is not only effective and efficient, but enabling of bold, systemic work across the UK. The role balances high level financial strategy and organisational leadership with routine financial reporting, oversight of day-to-day operations and actively supporting team wellbeing. It will suit someone confident operating strategically at an Executive and Board level, but who’s also comfortable rolling up their sleeves in a small, agile organisation.
We are seeking someone with significant experience in finance and operations leadership, ideally in a non-profit, consultancy or values driven setting, who is committed to equity, anti-racism, and social justice. This is a 0.6 FTE role (21 hours/week) and we welcome applications from those looking for flexible or part-time senior leadership work that makes a real difference. To support the removal of barriers to colleagues contributing fully as employees and to address equity considerations, we have a flexible working policy that trusts individuals to manage their time, working flexibly to deliver against our commitments, for example the 21 hrs can be condensed over 3 days or worked over 4-5 days.
As a team, we operate remotely across the UK with regular project-related travel. Our staff work from home or when appropriate, together in local co-working spaces, and normally, a few times a year we meet as a whole team for a few days to develop and connect.
Don’t meet every single requirement outlined in the Job Description? Studies have shown that women and racially minoritised groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single requirement. Dartington Service Design Lab is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace for everyone. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience or qualifications don’t match the job description exactly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the right person to help us achieve our impact for children and young people.
Candidates should be aware that, in line with our commitment to equity, we have made the decision not to negotiate regarding salary on appointment or progression. The evidence shows that negotiation of salary is an inherently inequitable process that marginalises women and those from racially minoritised communities. We do, however, have a transparent grade and scale structure for all those in the Lab which, based on organisational affordability and satisfactory performance in role, will result in an increase to salaries every two years up until the ceiling of that particular role’s banding.
The post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.

Role Purpose
ShelterBox has changed a lot in the last five years, and the humanitarian sector is also evolving as we do, with a much stronger focus on partnerships with local organisations on the front lines of aid delivery. Yet we still send staff and volunteers on visits to programme sites, often taking calculated risks to oversee how we can learn and improve humanitarian operations. Our people are led by strong values of service and dedication, without which we could not serve communities after disaster. We are now seeking to put stronger systems in place to ensure we are getting the best from our staff and volunteers, and that we as an employer are giving them the best possible experience as members of this international organisation.
ShelterBox is searching for an experienced senior people leader with a proven ability to lead through ambiguity and transformation, with a track record of embedding high-performance cultures and navigating complex change in mission-driven environments. The successful candidate will provide leadership to our excellent people team and help to develop and deliver an engaging and effective new organisational people strategy, which must reflect the complexity of a globally distributed organisation, ensuring cultural intelligence, equity, and inclusion are embedded across all people practices.

You will lead the team in driving our Employer Value Proposition: how we hire, train, develop and retain our people to meet the long-term aims and ambitions of the organisation. There will be a particular focus on training our future leaders and current managers in best practices, as well as establishing accountability for measuring performance and rewarding success.
You will oversee all aspects of the organisation's HR, learning and development, EDI, and well-being functions and a significant proportion of our volunteering support. You will be responsible for leading a function which works collaboratively with other teams to meet the organisation's overall people needs, and which recognises the critical importance of ShelterBox's staff and volunteers in delivering the organisation's ambitious plans.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, this role also reports to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis on all People matters. This role is also the Executive Team Lead on the Board's People and Risk Committee.
The Director of People and Culture is also a member of ShelterBox's Executive Team. This is our most senior management team, with overall responsibility for leading, planning and managing the work and development of the organisation. As a team, they are responsible for the delivery of 2025 plans as well as the implementation and development of longer-term strategy, and for ensuring that the wider organisational strategy delivers for the people we support.

Person Specification
At Ten Ten, we believe that the Schools Support Officer isn’t just another role - it’s a vital presence that helps knit together our mission across hundreds of schools. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a remote working environment - someone who takes pride in being highly organised, attentive to detail, and ready to solve problems before they arise. You enjoy connecting with others through digital channels, build rapport easily, and are committed to providing exceptional support to both colleagues and partner schools.
The kind of person we’re looking for:
Essentials – you are:
Warm, welcoming, and professional – You have a friendly and reassuring tone in all interactions. You make people feel heard and supported.
Highly organised and detail-oriented – You keep multiple plates spinning and ensure nothing gets dropped. You catch the typo, notice the missing email, and follow up before anyone else does.
A proactive problem-solver – You take initiative. You investigate, ask good questions, and make things happen. You know when to act independently and when to consult others.
Resourceful and adaptable – You navigate new systems and shifting priorities with ease. You find solutions, even when no manual exists.
Strong communicator – You write clearly and speak confidently. You know how to communicate with school staff, teachers, and your internal team with warmth and clarity.
Tech-comfortable and willing to learn – You’re already confident with basic digital tools and eager to learn new ones. You might not know HubSpot or our CMS yet, but you’re curious, capable, and ready to learn.
Able to prioritise effectively in a busy environment – You can spot what’s urgent versus what’s important, and you keep things moving forward while staying focused on the big picture.
Desirable – it’s a bonus if you:
-
Have experience supporting schools, education settings or customer service environments.
-
Are familiar with project management tools, content management platforms (CMS), or customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
-
Have experience supporting content updates, light marketing tasks, or school-facing comms.

Have worked in a small, fast-paced organisation where self-direction was essential.
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Is observant and engaged – spots the detail, the discrepancy, or the quiet ask behind the email.
-
Has a ‘get stuck in’ mentality – you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and help out wherever needed.
-
Is confident taking the lead when needed – actively shaping processes and offering support.
-
Values teamwork and collaboration, but can also work independently and manage their own time well.
-
Understands that while systems are important, people always come first—how they feel in their interaction with you matters.
