1. Background
Osman Consulting Ltd supports the design, coordination, and implementation of humanitarian and development programmes across multiple regions, with a primary focus on Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America
The organisation delivers a diverse portfolio of interventions spanning emergency response, seasonal, education (including back-to-school initiatives), food security and livelihoods (including zero hunger programming), and other humanitarian priorities. Osman Consulting works through a partnership-based approach, collaborating closely with local implementing partners to ensure contextually appropriate, responsive, and sustainable programme delivery.
2. Purpose of the Role
The Senior Operations Officer supports operational planning, procurement follow-up, documentation control, and implementation support systems so that project delivery requirements are translated into timely and well-organised operational action.

7. Compliance, Safeguarding and Ethics
The post holder is expected to uphold Osman Consulting Ltd policies, donor requirements, humanitarian principles, and all applicable national and international regulations.

We do this by providing free and independent legal advice and casework support for families, undertaking policy work and delivering training on the SEND legal framework.
What you’ll do
We are seeking a Head of Finance and Resources to provide strategic leadership and operational management across IPSEA’s finance, HR and Fundraising functions, ensuring the charity has robust financial management, effective systems, and sustainable infrastructure to deliver its mission. This role focuses on organisational management, financial integrity and coordination across functions, rather than providing specialist Fundraising or HR expertise.

They line manage the Finance Administrator, HR Manager and Fundraising Manager, ensuring alignment, coordination and effective use of organisational resources across the organisation.

Significantly experienced in charity finance and financial management or organisational resources, you will be able to prepare management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial reports and support budgeting and longer-term financial planning.
You will have experience of managing and motivating staff while working with senior leadership teams and/or trustees.
You have strong organisational and analytical skills and can analyse financial information and translate it for non-financial stakeholders. Experience improving systems, processes or digital infrastructure would be preferred but is not essential.
It would be desirable if you had experience overseeing HR, fundraising or wider operational functions, or managing multi-disciplinary teams.
IPSEA should also reflect the communities we support. We would particularly like to hear from candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ people, under-served communities and disabled people, as well as those with lived experience of the SEND system, either as a child or as a parent/carer.
