Inspiring people and communities to age and live well in later life
Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly is seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead one of Cornwall’s most respected charities into its next chapter.
For more than 50 years, we have worked alongside older people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, helping people to remain independent, connected and able to enjoy later life with dignity, purpose and confidence.
Today, we support more than 150,000 people each year through services spanning information and advice, transport, hospital and home support, community wellbeing, social connection and initiatives delivered in partnership with health, care and voluntary sector organisations.
Following the planned retirement of our Chief Executive in March 2027, we are looking for an inspiring, collaborative and values-led leader to build on strong foundations and help shape our future.
The opportunity
Our next Chief Executive will inherit a financially stable organisation with an excellent reputation, committed colleagues and volunteers, strong governance and significant reach across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
But this is also a role with considerable opportunity ahead.
Cornwall has an ageing population and the environment in which health, care and voluntary organisations operate continues to change. We want Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly to be at the forefront of that change - not simply responding to need, but helping to shape how people experience later life across our communities.
You will work with our Board, colleagues, volunteers and partners to develop our strategy, strengthen and diversify our income, continue to evolve our services and increase our influence across the wider health and care system.
You will also build strong relationships across the Age UK network, ensuring that Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly contributes to and benefits from national learning, policy, collaboration and opportunities.
The leader we are seeking
We are looking for a leader who combines strategic vision with the credibility to guide a complex, service‑delivery organisation.
You will empower people to thrive, build leadership capacity and unite colleagues, volunteers and partners behind a shared purpose. You will be comfortable operating beyond organisational boundaries and developing influential relationships across health and social care, local government, commissioners, funders, businesses, communities and the wider voluntary sector.
Commercial awareness and financial acumen will be essential. You will understand what it takes to lead a sustainable organisation, diversify income and demonstrate the impact and value of our work.
Above all, you will share our belief that later life should be a time of opportunity, and that older people should have independence, choice and a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect them.
This is more than an opportunity to lead a successful charity. It is an opportunity to influence how Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly supports its ageing population and to lead an organisation with the reach, relationships and ambition to make a lasting difference.

About us
The Alliance for Youth Justice is an alliance of more than 70 non-profit organisations advocating with and for children to drive positive change in youth justice across England and Wales. We mobilise our members’ frontline expertise, children’s lived experience, and evidence from research to champion a child-centred, rights-based and trauma-informed system that treats contact with the justice system as a sign of unmet need and systemic failure, prioritises support over criminalisation and gives every child the opportunity to thrive.
We're widely recognised as the most influential group campaigning for improvements to the system, with trusted access to decision makers, working towards three goals: keeping children safe from the youth justice system through prevention and diversion; racial justice across the system; and custody as a last resort for children.
About the role
Following the launch of our new strategic approach, our Operations and Membership Lead will provide the operational, financial and administrative backbone of the organisation — keeping our finances and governance on track, and coordinating our network of over 70 member organisations.

Membership coordination (30%) — manage the end-to-end membership process from enquiries to renewals, coordinate member surveys and data, and organise our events — quarterly member meetings, roundtables and webinars.
Anti-racist, anti-oppressive practice runs through how we work with our Board, staff, members and stakeholders.
About you
You have experience in an operations, finance or administrative coordination role within a non-profit or membership organisation, including managing the full financial cycle within a charity and a working knowledge of charity fund accounting. You're practically experienced with QuickBooks (or equivalent), highly proficient in Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Excel-based tracking systems or CRMs, and bring exceptional organisational skills, discretion and a proactive, self-motivated approach. You have a personal commitment to anti-racism, social justice and child rights.
Why join us
We're a small team of three punching well above our weight, with real scope to shape how we work and few layers of hierarchy. We offer flexible, trust-based home working (within core hours), plus 25 days' leave (pro rata), Christmas office closure, and a 5% employer pension contribution.

About Gambling Harm UK
Gambling Harm UK (GHUK) is a lived-experience-led public health charity working to prevent and reduce gambling harm. Formerly Gambling Education Network, we are independent of the gambling industry and funded by public money, which we take seriously.
We are in Year 1 of a two-year national programme. Our two largest contracts are with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and NHS England, and we expect to add further contracts and grants as the charity grows. We are a small team where every role matters, and good financial management directly enables our mission.
The opportunity
This is a new post. You will be the person who keeps our finances accurate, our payments properly controlled, our contracts monitored and our funders confident that public money is being used well. You will report to the CEO, work day to day with the Director of Operations and our Bookkeeper, and have a direct line to the Treasurer and the Chair of our Audit & Risk Committee.
It is a hands-on role with real ownership of the numbers, the contracts and the controls. Two days a week is enough to do it well, and we are flexible about how those days are worked.
What you will do
Financial management and transactions
• Process payments, expenses and payroll runs through Apron, working within our dual-authorisation controls with the bank and our trustee authorisers
• Monitor bank accounts, cash flow and outstanding payments, and reconcile bank and Apron records with the Bookkeeper
• Monitor spend against approved budgets and flag variances and emerging pressures early
• Support preparation of budgets, forecasts and cash-flow projections
• Prepare monthly financial reports for the CEO, Director of Operations, Trustees and committees
• Make sure all spend is authorised in line with delegated authority and our financial policies
Contract and grant management
• Maintain the central register of contracts, grants and key supplier arrangements
• Monitor contract values, spend, milestones, KPIs and renewal dates for OHID, NHS England and future funders
• Prepare and submit funder claims and financial reports accurately and on time
• Flag financial or contractual risks and make sure they are acted on
• Give the CEO and Director of Operations early warning of expiry and renewal dates
Bookkeeping assurance and controls
• Work with the Bookkeeper so every transaction is recorded and coded to the right fund, project or funder
• Monitor and report on restricted funds
• Maintain financial controls, procedures and audit trails, and support the annual independent examination
