We are looking for a qualified accountant or an accountant qualified by experience who combines strong technical finance expertise with a genuinely strategic and hands-on approach.

You are likely to have senior finance experience within a charity, grant-making organisation, international development organisation or another complex not-for-profit environment, although relevant experience from other sectors will also be considered.

You will bring:

• Strong financial management, analysis and strategic planning skills
• Experience of budgeting, forecasting and financial risk management
• Experience preparing statutory accounts, ideally within the charity sector and under Charity SORP
• Experience of financial governance and reporting to Boards or senior stakeholders
• The ability to critically evaluate existing processes and identify improvements
• Strong Excel skills and experience with financial systems – ideally QuickBooks
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work confidently with both financial and non-financial stakeholders
• High levels of accuracy, integrity and attention to detail

Above all, this role would suit someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative organisation, is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and wants their financial expertise to have a meaningful impact.

What’s on offer?

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing international philanthropic organisation at an important point in its development.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Shape the finance function of a growing and ambitious charity
• Work closely with the CEO, Senior Management Team and Board
• Have a genuine influence on financial strategy, governance and organisational development
• Play a key role in ensuring grant funding is managed effectively and delivers maximum impact
• Work alongside experienced partners, healthcare professionals and organisations working to improve children's healthcare
• Enjoy flexible remote working, with 22.5 hours per week over 3–4 days
• Benefit from a generous leave policy
• Receive an enhanced pension scheme and employee benefits
• Have opportunities for travel where applicable

Job Title: Digital Content & Community Lead
Location: London, Salford or Belfast, based from an RFF office with hybrid working arrangements and extensive travel across the UK and Ireland
Salary: £30,000-£35,000 per annum, depending on experience
Hours: 36 hours per week
Reports to: Deputy CEO & Director of Development

Job Description:

You’ll lead RFF’s Instagram and TikTok presence, creating distinctive social-first content and building engaged digital communities around our work.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll spend time with young people, staff, partners and ambassadors across the UK and Ireland, spotting, capturing and creating content that brings the Foundation to life. While Instagram and TikTok will be at the heart of the role, you’ll also support RFF’s wider digital and communications activity as required — including creating and adapting content for platforms such as LinkedIn, X and YouTube, supporting email communications and press activity, and helping strengthen RFF’s media presence around key events and opportunities.

We’re open to emerging talent and care more about what you can create, your understanding of digital communities and your creative instincts than where you learned your skills.

KEY DUTIES:

Social Content & Community

• Take day-to-day ownership of RFF’s Instagram and TikTok channels, growing active and engaged communities around our work.
• Develop a forward content plan while responding creatively to trends, conversations and opportunities in real time.
• Listen to our audiences, engage actively with our communities and use insight and performance to continually improve our content.

Content Creation & Production

• Proactively identify content opportunities across RFF’s work, partnerships and events, and plan, film, photograph, interview and edit high-quality social-first content across a range of formats.
• Create content specifically for digital platforms, particularly short-form video for Instagram Reels and TikTok, and maximise content captured by adapting it effectively across formats and channels.
• Use and advise on appropriate production equipment, software and tools, while maintaining an organised digital content and asset library for the Foundation.

Young People & Youth-led Content

• Build positive and appropriate relationships with young people, creating content with them rather than simply about them and representing their personalities, perspectives, interests and achievements authentically.
• Create opportunities for young people to contribute as creators, presenters, interviewers and storytellers and, over time, help identify and develop aspiring young content creators from across RFF.
• Ensure all content involving young people is created, captured, stored and used in line with RFF’s safeguarding, consent and data-protection requirements.

Partnerships, Ambassadors & Collaboration

• Work creatively with RFF’s corporate and industry partners, ambassadors and wider network to develop co-created content, campaigns and opportunities that benefit both RFF and its collaborators.
• Build strong relationships with partner communications and social teams, identifying opportunities for collaborative content, cross-platform amplification and reaching new communities and audiences.
• Work confidently across different environments - from community youth sessions to major corporate, media, sporting and cultural events - adapting your approach to different people, audiences and opportunities.

Wider Digital Content

• Support the creation and adaptation of content across RFF’s wider digital ecosystem, including YouTube, LinkedIn, X and the Foundation’s website, while keeping Instagram and TikTok as the primary focus.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to support wider communications activity, including email communications, press and media activity, campaigns, launches and events, and make effective use of strong content across channels.
• Bring ideas about new platforms, formats, technologies and approaches that could strengthen RFF’s digital presence and help our content reach and engage different audiences.

Insight & Performance

• Monitor channel and content performance, using analytics to understand engagement, community growth, reach, audience behaviour and what content is creating meaningful interaction.
• Test new approaches and formats, learn from performance and audience response, and use those insights to continually develop RFF’s social content and community approach.
• Keep up to date with developments across social media, digital content, creator culture and platform changes, sharing clear insights and emerging opportunities with the Director of Development and wider team.

One day you might turn a resident’s experience into a powerful story. The next, you could be launching a new report, creating content for a community campaign or finding a better way to engage people online. You will work across a varied portfolio and be able to see the difference your communications make.

You will work closely with a supportive team and with NHS, local authority and community partners. This is our dedicated communications role, so we are looking for someone who enjoys taking initiative, managing their own work and turning ideas and evidence into clear, engaging content.

Temporary Membership Coordinator

£16.48 per hour | Fully remote | 3–5 days per week | Temporary

Harris Hill is delighted to be working with a growing charity to recruit a Temporary Membership Coordinator.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced administrator to join a small, friendly team and provide essential support across membership administration and day-to-day operations.

The organisation supports a community of senior professionals and is looking for someone highly organised, confident and able to quickly pick up established processes and take ownership of their workload.

The role

You’ll play a key part in supporting the membership journey, from initial enquiries through to onboarding and ongoing administration.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing new membership enquiries and responding to members in a professional and timely way
• Coordinating introductory meetings, including diary management, invitations and follow-ups
• Reviewing prospective member profiles and matching individuals to the most appropriate membership groups based on factors such as professional background and location
• Supporting new member onboarding and ensuring all relevant actions are completed
• Maintaining accurate CRM and membership records
• Managing shared inboxes and keeping track of outstanding enquiries and actions
• Supporting membership subscriptions, renewals, payments, cancellations and invoicing
• Checking and reconciling information across different systems
• Preparing and sending member communications using agreed templates
• Maintaining trackers and providing clear updates on completed and outstanding work
• Providing wider administrative and operational support to the team as required

About you

We’re looking for an experienced administrator who is organised, accurate and comfortable working independently.

You’ll need:

• Strong administration, coordination and diary management experience
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage several processes at once
• Confidence using CRM, database or customer/member management systems
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Outlook and Excel
• Clear and professional written communication skills
• Good judgement and the confidence to make straightforward decisions within established processes
• The ability to pick up new systems and ways of working quickly
• Experience working independently and managing your own workload in a remote environment

Previous experience within a membership organisation would be useful but isn’t essential. Experience supporting subscriptions, payments or renewals would be particularly beneficial, as would familiarity with systems such as Stripe, GoCardless, Xero or WordPress.

The most important thing is that you’re a capable, reliable administrator who can understand a process quickly, use common sense to resolve routine queries and know when something needs to be escalated.

This is a fully remote temporary role, available for 3–5 days per week, with some flexibility depending on the successful candidate. A start date of 12th October would be preferred to allow for a thorough handover.

If you’re an experienced administrator looking for a varied, people-focused temporary role where you can quickly become a valued part of a small team, we’d love to hear from you.
