Business jobs

Working across Berkshire, Surrey Heath, Farnham & North-East Hampshire

If your idea of a great day at work involves leading a walk in the countryside, singing with a group, trying a new activity, supporting someone to regain confidence and finishing the day knowing you've genuinely made a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

At Younger People with Dementia (YPWD), we support adults diagnosed with young onset dementia (diagnosed under the age of 65)  to remain active, connected and independent through meaningful activities, one-to-one support and community programmes.

This isn't a personal care role. It's about helping people continue to live well, enjoy life and do the things that matter most to them.

What You'll Do

As part of our friendly and supportive team, you'll help deliver a wide range of engaging activities, from art, walking and singing to katakanuing, reader groups and community outings. You'll also provide one-to-one support, help plan future sessions and complete the records that enable us to deliver safe, high-quality services.

No two days are the same, and we're looking for someone who enjoys variety, uses their initiative and loves helping others have fun.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Is kind, compassionate and approachable.
• Enjoys being active, creative and making people smile.
• Builds positive relationships and communicates well.
• Is organised and understands the importance of accurate record keeping.
• Is confident using  IT, including email and Microsoft Office.
• Is reliable, adaptable and happy to get stuck in.
• Enjoys working independently but knows that great teamwork delivers the best outcomes.

You don't need to be an expert in dementia, we can teach that. What matters most is your attitude, your values and your willingness to learn.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

At YPWD, our values are Inclusive, Supportive, Enabling and Innovative. They're not just words on a wall, they shape how we work every day.

We work hard, laugh often, support each other and leave egos at the door. We value people who are kind, humble and willing to roll up their sleeves when needed. We communicate openly, celebrate each other's successes and focus on finding solutions rather than blame.

If you're someone who enjoys being part of a team, brings a positive attitude and wants to make a genuine difference, you'll fit right in.

If you're looking for workplace politics, unnecessary drama or somewhere to simply 'do your hours', we're probably not the right organisation for you. If you're looking for meaningful work with great people, we'd love to hear from you.

Essential Requirements

• Full UK driving licence.
• Daily access to a roadworthy vehicle insured for business use.
• Willingness to travel across Berkshire, Surrey Heath, Farnham and North East Hampshire.
• Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).
• Right to work in the UK.

What We Offer

• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Pension scheme.
• Enhanced sickness absence scheme.
• HSF Health Cash Plan.
• Excellent training and development opportunities.
• A supportive team where your ideas are welcomed and your contribution is valued.
• Free office parking.

Interested?

We want our recruitment process to be welcoming, fair and give you the opportunity to experience what it's like to work at YPWD.

Our recruitment process includes:

• Application: Submit your CV and a covering letter explaining why you'd like to join YPWD.
• Stage One Interview: This includes a short presentation and an interview exploring your experience, values and approach to supporting people living with young onset dementia.
• Workshop Visit: Candidates progressing from the first interview will be invited to visit one of our activity workshops. This gives you the opportunity to experience our services, meet the team and ensure the role is the right fit for you.
• Stage Two Interview: A final interview to explore your suitability for the role in more depth.

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night's sleep, and the chance to thrive at school. 

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 18,000 bed bundles to children to date! 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we continue to grow our service across the North West, we are looking to recruit a Family Engagement Officer to join our newly established North West team. This role offers a unique opportunity to play a key part in the growth and development of our vital service, particularly in the Merseyside area. The role is currently being offered at 21 hours per week (0.6 FTE) but has the potential to increase to full time with further development.

As our ideal candidate you will be based in the Merseyside area or within commuting distance, but be happy to travel in and around the wider North West area. You will be able to travel regularly to meet with the team and to conduct home visits across the region. You will also need to be able to attend our Leeds Warehouse or other areas when required.

You will be someone who has good experience of the broad range of day-to-day case management, working with external partners, volunteer support, and administrative activities that working in a dynamic charity brings, and someone who enjoys the busyness and variety of this.

Alongside your family support and engagement-related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with vulnerable families and managing volunteers in the charity sector, due to some of the specialties that come with this, such as safeguarding and partnership working. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £15,600 with progression up to £18,000 p/a (£26,000 to £30,000 FTE)

• 21 hours (0.6 FTE) worked across 3 or 4 days

• 28 days annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rated for part time work) 

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do”

About Ocean Generation

Ocean Generation is a UNESCO-endorsed Ocean education charity turning Science into Storytelling. We make Ocean Literacy accessible through film, pop-culture, and education programmes that empower practical action. Most people grow up unaware that the Ocean is keeping us all alive: Ocean Generation exists to change that.

Established in 2009 by film producer Jo Ruxton MBE, our award-winning documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’, was named by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most important films of our time” and ignited mass public awareness about the impact of plastic pollution. Today, we address a full range of human-made threats impacting the Ocean, with a particular focus on programmes for young people across the world.

Our Ocean Intelligence approach, how we translate complex Ocean science into engaging content through Science and Storytelling, has been endorsed by the Intergovernmental Oceanic Commission of UNESCO as a project under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

Our vision is a world where society understands, values and acts for the Ocean.

Our mission is to improve Ocean Literacy by translating complex science into engaging content, programmes and practical actions.

As our Partnerships Manager, you'll help secure the funding that enables more people around the world to understand, value and act for the Ocean.

The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) is partnering with Robertson Bell on a retained basis to recruit a Director of Finance on a permanent basis. This is a rare opportunity to join a globally influential organisation at a pivotal point in its growth, leading the transformation of the finance function whilst helping drive the organisation's ambitious mission to eliminate avoidable sight loss worldwide.

This is far more than a traditional Finance Director role. The successful candidate will inherit a finance function ready for transformation, with the full backing of an ambitious Senior Leadership Team committed to investing in modern systems, stronger processes and strategic financial leadership. It is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious finance leader looking to make their first move into a Director position, whilst remaining close to the operational detail and leading meaningful organisational change.

The role

• Partner with the Deputy CEO and Senior Leadership Team to shape the organisation's financial strategy and support the delivery of its ambitious three-year strategic plan.
• Lead the transformation of the finance function, moving from manual, spreadsheet-led reporting to streamlined systems, efficient processes and insightful business partnering.
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting and financial planning, including scenario modelling to support significant organisational growth and major international funding opportunities.
• Deliver high-quality management reporting for the Executive Team, Finance & Audit Committee, Board of Trustees and major international funders.
• Lead the production of statutory accounts, oversee the annual audit process and ensure full compliance with Charity Commission, Companies House and tax requirements.
• Develop robust financial controls, policies and governance frameworks that support a growing international charity.
• Manage treasury activities, cashflow and foreign currency exposure across an increasingly global operation.
• Build strong relationships with budget holders across the organisation, embedding a proactive and commercially minded finance business partnering culture.
• Lead, develop and mentor a small finance team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
• Play a key leadership role in organisational decision-making, helping ensure finance is viewed as an enabling function that supports innovation and impact.

The organisation

The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness is the only global alliance dedicated to eliminating the world's avoidable vision crisis. Representing NGOs, professional associations, hospitals, academic institutions, corporations and philanthropies, IAPB works to influence policy, mobilise investment and strengthen health systems across the world.

The organisation has experienced significant growth in recent years, expanding to over 50 staff and securing substantial new investment to support its ambitious global agenda. This includes convening the inaugural Global Summit for Eye Health in November 2026, bringing together heads of government, multilateral organisations and major funders to accelerate progress towards ending avoidable sight loss for the 1.1 billion people currently living without access to the eye care they need.

With strong leadership, genuine investment in organisational development and a culture built around being ambitious, collaborative, inclusive and strategic, IAPB offers an outstanding opportunity to shape both the finance function and the future direction of the organisation.

Essential criteria

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Experience working within an international charity.
• Strong understanding of charity finance, including restricted funding, grant reporting and Charity SORP.
• Demonstrable experience producing high-quality financial reporting, budgeting and statutory accounts.
