We're FIRST UK: an EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical and life skills to engineer bright futures.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

An exceptional leader who will deploy a systematic approach to identify, build and retain relationships with educators, employers, government which will underpin our growth – whilst ensuring safety, quality, and impact of experience for young people, teachers, volunteers.

As Delivery Director, you will be the senior leader accountable for two inextricably linked elements:

1. Growth - more schools, teachers, young people, employers, volunteers
2. Scalability - overseeing safe, high-quality, efficient, replicable deliver

You will implement the growth architecture which scales the charity’s impact through:

• Proactive, targeted growth in regional hubs aligned to strategic objectives
• Better, earlier, sustained engagement with schools and educators
• System-level entry points through MATs, educator networks, strategic partners
• Retention mechanisms that embed participation institutionally
• Ownership of quality & impact measures supporting participation, completion, return
• Regional industry partner/employer pipeline building, conversion, stewardship
• Volunteer and alumni community oversight, experience and quality
   

WHAT YOU’LL GET

In addition to a genuinely distinctive mission, making STEM accessible to young people who are too often excluded from it, alongside measurable, evidenced outcomes and a growing profile with funders and media you'll have:

• Leadership, autonomy and sense of purpose
• A compelling value proposition and strong operational platform to build on
• A well-defined strategy to execute against
• Sector credibility, positive reputation and relationships to grow
• Competitive salary, benefits in a lean, agile and fast-paced organisation

You will be the leader who takes a charity from start-up mode to a nationally recognised, regionally embedded impact organisation – transforming the outlook for thousands of young people annually.

WHO MIGHT THIS ROLE SUIT

Someone who 'gets' growth and has credible experience owning and scaling a programme, product, or service. You’re systematic in approach whilst appreciating the power of relationships and delivery through others. A sophisticated leader you motivate, coach and support others to achieve more. You see both the challenges and opportunities within a high growth potential organisation and are always ahead of them.
 

I love the sound of this; is there more I need to know?

If there is, we'll chat about it at the ‘get to know’ stage.

CONDITIONS

We don’t talk about benefits; we talk about culture. It’s not how many hours you work or where you work them – it’s what you deliver.

• Competitive salary - £75K - £84K per annum
• 28 days annual leave + 8 bank hols + Xmas gift
• Remote/flexible working
• 3% pension + death in service (4 x annual salary)
• Generous enhanced maternity/paternity

· Have an affinity with and be willing to learn about the wool and textile industry

· Be flexible, able to work under pressure across multiple roles, be adaptable to change

· Have excellent hands-on administrative and organisational abilities

· Have excellent verbal, written presentation and communication skills

· Have confident IT and online skills and the ability to use and leverage social media

· Be comfortable managing formal ceremonial events and the protocols involved

· Be friendly and approachable, with excellent people skills and an ability to inspire confidence

· Be a team player as well as a starter and finisher

· Have an appreciation of the ethos and culture of the City of London and the Livery Community

· Demonstrate commitment, sound judgement, energy, tact, diplomacy, and confidentiality

· Be based within easy reach of the City of London

· Be able and prepared to work outside traditional office hours (eg at Company dinners, Trade Fairs etc)

Candidates without prior experience of the City of London or Wool will be considered provided they meet the other criteria and have a developed interest in Livery Companies and/or Wool.

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

• 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

• Identify control weaknesses or irregularities and escalate them

Procurement and compliance

• Support procurement in line with our policies, including quotations and documentation

• Monitor supplier performance, spend and compliance

• Keep financial and contractual records complete, accurate and secure

• Support compliance with Charity Commission requirements and contribute to the risk register where finance or contract risks arise

What we are looking for

Essential

• Experience of financial administration, bookkeeping, management accounts or a similar finance role

• Experience of monitoring budgets and expenditure

• Good understanding of financial controls and procedures

• Experience of contract, grant or supplier management

• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with a high level of accuracy

• Well organised, able to work independently and manage competing deadlines

• Good written and verbal communication skills

• Confident with Microsoft Excel and standard office systems

Desirable

• Experience in a charity or not-for-profit organisation

• Knowledge of charity accounting, restricted funds and funder requirements

• Knowledge of Charity Commission requirements

• Experience of contract monitoring or commissioned services

• Experience of accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, and of online payment or expenses platforms such as Apron

• A finance or accountancy qualification, or working towards one

Personal qualities

• Trustworthy, professionally discreet and methodical

• Proactive in spotting problems, risks and opportunities

• Comfortable challenging spend or processes where needed

• Collaborative, and able to work well with the CEO, Director of Operations, Bookkeeper, Trustees, funders and partners

• Committed to value for money and sound stewardship of charitable resources
