Income generation officer jobs
This role is an exciting opportunity for a passionate, digitally confident person to join our growing charity and create content for a new online resource hub, currently in development. We have big plans for this hub and want to pack it with expertise from brilliant chefs, leading educators and celebrities passionate about school food.
Our charity is growing again - this time we’re transforming online learning for school food. You’ll help shape and create resources for our new online hub. This hub will become a central point for schools, kitchen teams and caterers to seek inspiration. You’ll be creative and confident enough to work with busy chefs, celebrities and educators who all care deeply about feeding children brilliant school food. This role will sit in our communications team and focus on creating clear, engaging and practical resources that help people take action, whether that is a headteacher looking to improve their whole school to food or a school chef looking to transform their school meals.
You will help turn complex ideas, research and on the ground practice into user friendly content, in a range of formats, that reflects our brand, showcases the work of our chefs, schools, patrons and partners, and puts the wellbeing of children and young people at its heart.
This is a hands-on creative role, well suited to someone starting out in content creation or design who wants to build their skills while helping future generations thrive.
Who we are
Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. We believe every child has the right to eat and learn about good food in school.
We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.
We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead.
We’re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.
About you and the role
This role will initially support the set up and roll out of a national school food resource hub, supporting the creation of resources for the platform, working closely with internal teams and external partners. With the hub still in development, you will be joining at a crucial point to help shape what goes live, how it looks and sounds, and how useful it is for the people we most want to reach.
Our aim is that schools and the wider school food community can quickly find practical, trusted resources that help them improve food in schools. That might be a headteacher looking for a simple starting point, a school chef wanting a clear guide to implement new practices, or a teacher looking to introduce food education.
Your role will focus on creating and maintaining high quality resources for the hub. You will turn ideas, evidence, and stories into clear content in different formats, including short one to two pagers, multi-page guides, videos, photographs and interactive resources. You will adapt your writing and framing to different audiences, keeping content aligned with brand guidelines.
This role sits within our comms team but works closely with our school transformation and membership teams. You will work with internal and external stakeholders to gather information and develop content, including supporting interviews and capturing case studies. You will also help manage the day to day flow of content into the hub, keeping resources organised, up to date and easy to navigate, while bringing a curious, practical mindset that helps us keep improving what we publish. You’ll identify any resources that could be a wider engagement tool to draw more people to the hub.

Charity experience - Qualified Financial Professional - Good communicator - Collaborative - UK based
Background
NAPAC (the National Association for People Abused in Childhood) is entering an important period of growth. Our income sources are diversifying, our public profile is rising and our operations are becoming more complex. With new earned income streams, additional grant funding, VAT considerations and more detailed Board reporting, we are now strengthening our finance function to ensure accuracy, clarity and confidence in all financial matters.
We are therefore seeking a freelance finance professional to provide part-time, ongoing operational finance support. The role involves managing our monthly financial bookkeeping and reporting functions, working closely with our Chief Operating Officer and wider team. Our current provider will continue to handle payroll and year-end audit preparation, but we are moving our day-to-day finance support to this new model.
We are looking for a proactive, highly competent individual who can understand the way NAPAC works and provide accurate, timely and thoughtful financial support. This is a key role that underpins our success and gives confidence to the team, trustees, funders and external stakeholders.
Scope of Work
The successful individual will be responsible for:
- Maintaining accurate financial records in Xero, including all necessary transactional data entry (such as inputting and coding income, expenses, invoices and credit notes), reconciling bank and PayPal accounts and preparing monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet and cashflow reports).
- Supporting monthly reporting cycles for internal governance (Income Generation Subcommittee and full Board).
- Liaising with our team to ensure invoices are raised, chased and coded accurately.
- Managing grant income allocations and restricted funds tracking in line with funder requirements.
- Supporting our team with financial queries, budget phasing and grant planning.
- Advising on Xero housekeeping (e.g. Chart of Accounts simplification, tracking codes).
- Advising on VAT issues, including preparation for registration if required (though this may be handled separately with legal input).
- Supporting periodic financial forecasting and budgeting alongside the CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
- Attending virtual meetings as required (Income Generation Subcommittee monthly; quarterly Board meetings and ad hoc meetings with staff).
- Ensuring a smooth handover and transition from the current provider.
Occasional projects may include:
- A full review and restructuring of our Chart of Accounts.
- Retrospective re-coding of entries for YTD accuracy and reporting.
- Supporting audit/year-end examination preparations (collaborating with TC-Group as our year-end auditor).
Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone who:
- Has strong experience in operational charity finance or with social enterprises.
- Has demonstrable experience of restructuring a Chart of Accounts within finance systems.
- Holds or is training towards a recognised accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or who can demonstrate equivalent experience in operational finance roles, particularly where they have led on financial reporting, forecasting and working within Xero-led systems.
- Has excellent working knowledge of Xero and related finance systems.
- Understands the operational pressures faced by small to medium-sized charities.
- Can lucidly explain financial information for colleagues with varied levels of financial literacy.
- Is detail-oriented, reliable and a clear communicator.
- Is comfortable working independently but collaboratively.
- Can offer a blend of rigour, responsiveness and a values-driven approach.
- Is based in the UK and able to attend NAPAC's London office at least once per month.
- Is available during business hours (09:00-17:00).
Time Commitment and Working Style
The expected time commitment is approximately three-six days per month, depending on workload and reporting periods. We anticipate this may be higher in the first two-three months to support onboarding, systems review and transition from our existing provider. We are open to flexibility and working arrangements.
This role will primarily be delivered remotely, but requires in-person attendance at NAPAC's London office at least once per month. The successful provider must be available during UK business hours (09:00-17:00) to attend scheduled meetings as needed both via Teams online and in-person.
A laptop will not be provided, but full IT onboarding and access to relevant systems (e.g. Xero, Teams, secure file-sharing platforms) will be arranged, along with any required security protocols. Payment will be on a day-rate basis, agreed in advance.
Expression of Interest and Selection Process
To apply, please email an up-to-date CV and an Expression of Interest cover letter of no more than two pages (address in attached brief).
Expressions of Interest are being accepted until 10am on Monday 26 January 2026.
Your Expression of Interest should include:
- Your relevant experience, including specific examples of Chart of Accounts restructuring
- Your day rates
- Your reasons for wanting to work with NAPAC
- Your contact details
- Your availability for interview dates (to be confirmed with shortlisted candidates)
- Any access requirements should you be invited to interview
Expressions of Interest will be reviewed and the following selection process will have two stages:

About the role:
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves opening doors, building momentum and turning interest into long-term support. As Corporate Partnerships Officer, you’ll be right at the heart of our growing Fundraising team, actively identifying new corporate partners, starting meaningful conversations and shaping partnerships that genuinely add value. From first approach to signed agreement, you’ll play a key role in bringing businesses on board and inspiring them to stand alongside our work.
You’ll split your time between winning new partnerships and deepening existing ones. That means researching and targeting the right organisations, crafting and delivering engaging pitches, and managing a live pipeline of opportunities. Alongside this, you’ll steward a portfolio of corporate partners, building strong relationships with key contacts, coordinating activity, spotting opportunities to grow support and ensuring partnerships deliver real impact for both the business and Single Homeless Project.
You’ll quickly build a strong understanding of our services, values and priorities, using this insight to develop creative ways for businesses to get involved, from fundraising and campaigns to volunteering and events. You’ll track activity and performance through our CRM, using data and insight to strengthen relationships and retention. While your focus is corporate partnerships, you’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to support a joined-up, ambitious approach to income generation. If you’re proactive, curious and ready to make your mark, this role offers the chance to grow fast and make a visible difference at Single Homeless Project (SHP).
About you:
- You’re genuinely interested in why businesses choose to support charities and enjoy turning that curiosity into strong, meaningful partnerships.
- You’re confident building relationships, opening conversations and keeping partners engaged, whether you’re developing something new or growing what’s already there.
- You’re comfortable working towards targets and enjoy the sense of progress that comes from moving ideas into action.
- You can bring a story to life, creating and delivering pitches or presentations that connect with people and inspire them to get involved.
- You’re organised and proactive, happy using (or quickly learning) a CRM to keep things running smoothly and spot opportunities to do even better.
About us:
We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.
In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up.
We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own.
Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.
We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Closing date: Sunday 25th January at midnight
Interview date: Tuesday 3rd February Online via Microsoft Teams
