Lead Trainer and Facilitator — Programme Delivery

Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 depending on experience
Contract: Fixed term, 12 months
Hours: Full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Location: Home-based, with regular travel across England (approx. 8-10 days/month)
Closing date: 8 September 2026, 6pm BST

We're looking for a passionate and highly skilled individual to lead our training and facilitation function: not just delivering sessions, but owning the standards, quality, and people behind them.

You'll work closely with a Co-CEO in a genuine co-design model, holding complex, emotionally charged group dynamics with confidence, and building the systems and people that keep our delivery consistent and strong.

The single most important thing we're looking for: real experience facilitating resistant, defensive, or emotionally guarded groups, and the ability to hold discomfort in the room without softening content or letting avoidance take over.

We welcome applicants from non-traditional routes into this work, including activism, advocacy, and lived experience, provided you can evidence it.

Full details, including the person specification and how to apply, are in the attached job description. Please read it before applying, as our application process asks for specific evidenced examples rather than a general cover letter.

We strongly welcome and encourage applications from people who are Black, Asian and otherwise racially or ethnically minoritised, disabled, LGBTQ+, or from communities underrepresented in sexual and reproductive health and rights and the charity sector.

Note: all applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. We cannot sponsor visas.

We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Head of Finance to join YMCA South Midlands at an exciting stage of our growth.

This isn’t a role where Finance sits on the sidelines reporting what happened last month. You’ll help us make better decisions, challenge our thinking and ensure our ambitions are backed by strong financial insight, robust governance and a clear understanding of risk.

You’ll work closely with our CEO in a high-support, high-challenge relationship and be a key financial partner to our Finance Committee and Board of Trustees. You’ll have autonomy, access to key decisions and the opportunity to genuinely influence the future direction of the organisation.

We want someone who will own the numbers, understand what’s driving them and have the confidence to ask the questions others might not. Just as importantly, you’ll be able to communicate the financial position clearly and credibly, giving our CEO, leadership team and trustees confidence in the information they receive and the decisions they make.

The opportunity

We’re an ambitious organisation with plans to continue growing our impact, income and reach.

Alongside leading our Finance function, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in some genuinely interesting work, from strengthening our commercial and trading performance to assessing new opportunities, property acquisitions and potential M&A activity.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring the financial fundamentals are strong, but we’re looking for much more than technical excellence.

We want someone who can look forward. Someone who can spot a risk before it becomes a problem, see an opportunity in the numbers, scrutinise a business case and help us make well-informed decisions about where we invest, where we grow and where we need to exercise caution.

A key part of the role will also be building a strong and trusted relationship with our Head of Income Generation, Finance Committee and wider Board. You’ll ensure trustees have timely, accurate and meaningful financial information, understand the implications behind the numbers and have confidence in the organisation’s financial management, controls and planning.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll lead our Finance function and take ownership of:

• Budgeting, forecasting and longer-term financial planning
• Management accounts, cash flow and financial reporting
• Commercial and trading performance
• Financial modelling and scenario planning
• Financial controls, compliance, audit and statutory reporting
• Supporting property purchases, investment decisions and potential M&A opportunities
• Developing and leading our Finance team

Just as importantly, you’ll partner with leaders across the organisation, helping them understand and take ownership of their financial performance.

You won’t simply highlight a problem. We’ll want you to help us understand why it is happening, what our options are and what we should do next.

About you

We value expertise, curiosity, ideas and healthy debate. You’ll be a Head of Finance who brings professional judgement to the table, challenges assumptions when necessary and is prepared to offer a different perspective.

You’ll also understand that excellent financial leadership is about trust and communication as much as technical competence. You’ll be comfortable working with trustees and senior stakeholders, able to explain complex financial matters without jargon and confident answering challenging questions.

If you like being given a narrow brief and simply delivering what’s asked, this probably isn’t the role for you. But if you enjoy autonomy, pace, solving problems, challenging thinking, building trusted relationships and making things happen, you will thrive here.

You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with strong financial leadership experience and excellent commercial judgement.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is curious about the story behind the numbers
• Builds trust and credibility with key stakeholders including Board Members
• Enjoys working in a growing, changing organisation
• Is confident challenging and influencing senior leaders
• Can turn complex financial information into clear recommendations
• Thinks commercially while maintaining strong financial discipline
• Brings solutions rather than simply identifying problems
• Enjoys taking ownership and being accountable
• Builds strong relationships without shying away from difficult conversations
• Can move comfortably between the strategic picture and the detail
• Wants to make a difference

Experience of property investment, M&A, due diligence, commercial operations or a high-growth environment would be particularly valuable.

Charity-sector experience is welcome, butit isn’t essential. We’re more interested in finding someone with the right financial expertise, commercial mindset and appetite to help us grow.

Why Join YMCA South Midlands?

Because this is an opportunity to use your financial expertise for something that matters.

You’ll join an ambitious organisation where Finance has a genuine voice, where good ideas are welcomed and where you’ll be trusted to make an impact.

As well as joining a supportive and collaborative team, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Make a genuine difference in a purpose-driven organisation
• Work in a varied finance role with plenty of responsibility
• Help improve systems and processes
• Develop your finance skills within a supportive environment
• Work flexibly around a part-time schedule

Everyone is Welcome Here

At YMCA South Midlands, we believe everyone should feel they belong.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and communities. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the people we serve and where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and fairness.

As a Christian charity, our faith inspires our values and our commitment to serving others. We welcome people of all faiths and none, and appointments are made on merit.

Reasonable Adjustments

We want every candidate to have the opportunity to perform at their best throughout our recruitment process.

If you have a disability, long-term health condition or are neurodivergent and would benefit from any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know when you apply or contact us at any stage. We'll be happy to discuss how we can support you.

About the Role

A home is more than a property.  It’s the foundation for independence, security and belonging.

As Housing Manager at Norwood, you’ll provide a high-quality, compliant and person-centred housing management service across a portfolio of our supported living properties.

You’ll take ownership of the full tenancy journey, from allocation and sign-up through to tenancy sustainment and move-on.  But this role is about much more than managing agreements and processes.

You’ll build relationships with the people we support, understand what matters to them and help ensure their homes are safe, well maintained and appropriate to their individual needs.  You’ll conduct regular tenancy visits and property inspections, support people to understand their rights and responsibilities, and help resolve issues before they put a tenancy at risk.

Working closely with our Property and Operations teams, Registered Managers, families, advocates and external partners, you’ll bring together strong housing practice with an understanding of the individual.

Your impact will be clear: sustainable tenancies, safer homes, greater independence and a positive experience for the people who call them home.

We invest in your growth, care about your wellbeing, and give you the pride of knowing your work changes lives.

Who We Are Looking For

You’ll be an experienced housing professional who understands that good housing management starts with the person.

You’ll bring strong tenancy management experience and a sound understanding of housing law, regulation and compliance.  You’ll be confident managing the practical realities of a housing portfolio, including tenancy agreements, rent accounts, arrears, voids, repairs, inspections, tenancy breaches and disputes.

Alongside that technical knowledge, you’ll know how to build trust.

You’ll be able to adapt your communication to individual needs, explain sometimes complex housing matters clearly and make sure the people we support understand their tenancy, their rights and the choices available to them.

You’ll be comfortable working collaboratively with support teams, families, advocates, social workers, local authorities, housing providers and other partners to resolve issues and achieve positive outcomes.

Most importantly, you’ll combine professional judgement with a person-centred approach, recognising that behind every tenancy is someone’s home, independence and sense of security.

Your Day to Day

You’ll:

• Take ownership of a defined portfolio of supported living properties and manage the full tenancy lifecycle
• Conduct regular visits with tenants to review their tenancy, identify emerging issues and support tenancy sustainment
• Carry out property inspections during scheduled visits, identifying repairs, property condition and health and safety concerns

About The Role
There’s a moment, just before something goes out into the world, when everything clicks into place. The message is clear, the design feels right, and you know it’s going to connect with someone who needs it.
At Alzheimer’s Society, those moments matter. Every piece of creative work helps people affected by dementia feel seen, supported and understood.
As a Junior Designer, you’ll play a part in making that happen. Working within our Creative team, you’ll help turn ideas into thoughtful, well-crafted design across digital and print. From campaign visuals to everyday assets, your work will help bring our brand to life in a way that is consistent, accessible and meaningful.
You’ll collaborate with designers, content specialists and digital colleagues, learning as you go and building your skills in a supportive, fast-paced environment where your work has real impact.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll spend your time bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, well-crafted design. You’ll work across a mix of digital and print, creating and adapting assets that help communicate important messages and support impactful campaigns.
You’ll take creative concepts and shape them into clear, engaging visuals that feel consistent, on brand and accessible to a wide range of audiences. Whether you’re refining layouts, resizing assets or preparing files for delivery, you’ll care about getting the details right.
Working closely with colleagues across creative, content and digital teams, you’ll help make sure design supports the bigger picture. You’ll be part of conversations, contribute ideas and collaborate to deliver work that lands well and makes a difference.
Alongside this, you’ll manage your own workload, keeping projects moving and maintaining quality even when things are busy.
At a glance, you will:

- Create and adapt design across digital and print, from social content to campaign materials
- Prepare and deliver artwork that meets brand, accessibility and quality standards
- Collaborate with colleagues to ensure creative supports wider campaigns and activity
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines, staying organised and focused

About you
You’re someone who cares about the details, but also understands how they fit into the bigger picture. You’re motivated, organised and ready to grow, with a natural ability to keep things moving even when things get busy.
You’ll likely bring:

- A strong eye for detail and pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
- Good project and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines
- Confidence managing more than one task at a time, and knowing how to refocus when priorities shift
- A proactive, self-starting approach, taking ownership of your work while knowing when to ask for support
- The ability to build positive working relationships with a range of people
- Confidence explaining creative ideas in a clear and accessible way, especially to non-design colleagues

You care about inclusive design and understand that how something looks is only part of the story. You think about how it’s experienced, making sure your work is clear, accessible and relevant to different audiences, including people affected by dementia.
We know that great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role interests you and you feel you could make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 23rd September via MS Teams.

About The Role
There’s a moment, just before something goes out into the world, when everything clicks into place. The message is clear, the design feels right, and you know it’s going to connect with someone who needs it.
At Alzheimer’s Society, those moments matter. Every piece of creative work helps people affected by dementia feel seen, supported and understood.
As a Junior Designer, you’ll play a part in making that happen. Working within our Creative team, you’ll help turn ideas into thoughtful, well-crafted design across digital and print. From campaign visuals to everyday assets, your work will help bring our brand to life in a way that is consistent, accessible and meaningful.
You’ll collaborate with designers, content specialists and digital colleagues, learning as you go and building your skills in a supportive, fast-paced environment where your work has real impact.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll spend your time bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, well-crafted design. You’ll work across a mix of digital and print, creating and adapting assets that help communicate important messages and support impactful campaigns.
You’ll take creative concepts and shape them into clear, engaging visuals that feel consistent, on brand and accessible to a wide range of audiences. Whether you’re refining layouts, resizing assets or preparing files for delivery, you’ll care about getting the details right.
Working closely with colleagues across creative, content and digital teams, you’ll help make sure design supports the bigger picture. You’ll be part of conversations, contribute ideas and collaborate to deliver work that lands well and makes a difference.
Alongside this, you’ll manage your own workload, keeping projects moving and maintaining quality even when things are busy.
At a glance, you will:

- Create and adapt design across digital and print, from social content to campaign materials
- Prepare and deliver artwork that meets brand, accessibility and quality standards
- Collaborate with colleagues to ensure creative supports wider campaigns and activity
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines, staying organised and focused

About you
You’re someone who cares about the details, but also understands how they fit into the bigger picture. You’re motivated, organised and ready to grow, with a natural ability to keep things moving even when things get busy.
You’ll likely bring:

- A strong eye for detail and pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
- Good project and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines
- Confidence managing more than one task at a time, and knowing how to refocus when priorities shift
- A proactive, self-starting approach, taking ownership of your work while knowing when to ask for support
- The ability to build positive working relationships with a range of people
- Confidence explaining creative ideas in a clear and accessible way, especially to non-design colleagues

You care about inclusive design and understand that how something looks is only part of the story. You think about how it’s experienced, making sure your work is clear, accessible and relevant to different audiences, including people affected by dementia.
We know that great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role interests you and you feel you could make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 23rd September via MS Teams.

About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

About The Role
Every story matters here. Some are quiet, some joyful, some hard to tell. As a Video Production Executive at Alzheimer’s Society, you will help bring these stories to life with care, honesty and craft.
You will join a creative team that believes in storytelling as a force for understanding, challenge and change. Working with the Video Production Manager, you will create and edit content across social media, interviews, campaign films and longer-form storytelling.
This role has a strong focus on editing and post-production. We’re looking for someone who enjoys shaping stories in the edit: finding the right moments, building pace and structure, working with sound and graphics, and turning raw footage into engaging, polished content.
People come to this role from many paths, whether film or media training, freelance work, community storytelling or self-taught practice. What matters most is strong editing ability, a good instinct for storytelling and a commitment to creating inclusive, respectful work.
What you’ll do
You will work across the production process, but a significant part of your role will be focused on editing and post-production, supporting everything from quick-turnaround social content to interviews, campaign films and longer, story-led pieces.
Using Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar professional editing software, alongside tools such as After Effects where appropriate, you will edit raw footage into clear and engaging stories. You will make confident decisions around narrative, pacing, music, sound and visual treatment, as well as adapting content for different channels and formats.
You will create cutdowns and different versions of content, add subtitles and graphics, and apply accessibility best practice so our work can reach as many people as possible.
You will also have opportunities to support filming and production. This may include shooting interviews and documentary-style content, setting up lighting and sound, and helping to create a calm, respectful environment where people feel comfortable sharing their experiences.
Alongside editing and filming, you will support production planning and logistics, including call sheets, scheduling and risk assessments, and contribute creative ideas about how our stories can be brought to life.
Collaboration is central. You will work closely with the Video Production Manager and colleagues across our creative and wider teams, respond constructively to feedback and help ensure finished content is delivered accurately and consistently across platforms including social media, YouTube and internal channels.
About you
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. You do not need to meet every requirement, and we encourage you to apply if you bring relevant skills and a willingness to learn.
You may have:

- Experience working across the full video production process, from pre-production through to filming and editing
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro (and ideally After Effects), with the ability to edit content to a high standard
- Practical experience recording sound and working with lighting in documentary or factual filming environments
- Experience working on story-led content, including supporting people to share personal or sensitive experiences in a respectful and ethical way
- An understanding of motion graphics, or a willingness to learn and develop skills in this area
- A collaborative and inclusive working style, with strong organisation skills and a commitment to accessible, high-quality storytelling

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 23rd September via MS Teams
