From managing referrals and bookings to coordinating transport, communicating with families and supporting service delivery, you'll help create positive experiences that have a lasting impact on the children and families we support.
No two days will be the same. One day you might be helping a family through the referral process, the next coordinating logistics for an upcoming residential break, preparing essential documentation, analysing service data, or supporting colleagues to ensure every child receives the best possible experience.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is organised, adaptable and confident working in a busy environment where priorities can change quickly. You'll be a natural coordinator who enjoys solving problems, building relationships and keeping multiple projects moving forward.
You will have:
- Previous experience in an administration or coordination role, ideally within children's services, health, education, charity or community settings
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Strong communication and relationship-building abilities
- Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and ideally database systems
- The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities
- An understanding of confidentiality, safeguarding and data protection principles
- A full driving licence and access to your own transport
Why Join Honeypot?
This is more than an administration role. It's an opportunity to make a genuine difference behind the scenes, helping ensure that children experiencing challenges in their young lives can access safe, supportive and memorable experiences that build confidence, resilience and hope for the future.
If you are passionate about helping children thrive and enjoy bringing organisation, care and efficiency to a busy service, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us and help make every child's opportunity count.

You’ll also help gather and share community insight, build relationships with local organisations and partners, and support the wider Place Partnership to understand what is working, what is getting in the way and what could be done differently.
Each day will look different. You’ll shape your work around what you learn from local people and your host organisation, while working alongside the other Community Activators as a supportive group.

If you’re someone who enjoys listening, building trust and helping communities shape what happens next, we’d love to hear from you.
How the role works
All four Community Activators will be employed by Together Active.
Each role will then be seconded to one of four host organisations for the duration of the contract, meaning you will work closely with that organisation and the communities they support while remaining a Together Active employee.

About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in an important period of development and transformation for West London Synagogue.
Working closely with the executive team, the postholder will provide coordination and project management across a range of organisational priorities and will play a key role in supporting the delivery of the wider transformation programme.
The role will bring together project management, organisational performance, impact measurement, reporting and continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will help turn strategic priorities into practical plans, ensure projects remain on track, and provide clear information to senior leaders and the Board about progress, performance and impact.
This is a broad and varied role for someone who enjoys working across an organisation, bringing structure to complexity and helping people turn good ideas into effective delivery.
Key Responsibilities
1. Transformation and Organisational Priorities
- Play a key role in coordinating and supporting the organisation's transformation programme.
- Work with the Chief Executive, the finance and resources director and senior colleagues to translate strategic priorities into clear plans, actions, milestones and deliverables.
- Track progress against agreed priorities and identify risks, delays, dependencies and resource pressures.
- Identify connections and opportunities for collaboration between different projects and programmes.
- Support colleagues in embedding new processes, systems and ways of working arising from the transformation programme.
- Ensure that agreed decisions are translated into clear actions, ownership and follow-through.
- Support a culture of continuous improvement, learning and accountability.
The postholder will not be expected to manage every change initiative directly. Their role will be to provide structure, coordination and visibility across the transformation programme, working with colleagues who own individual projects and areas of work.
2. Project Management
- Plan, coordinate and deliver a range of organisational projects in line with agreed priorities and timelines.
- Develop proportionate project plans setting out objectives, milestones, deliverables, responsibilities, dependencies and measures of success.
- Coordinate internal teams, volunteers, partners and external stakeholders where required.
- Facilitate project meetings, workshops and reviews.
- Maintain clear project documentation, actions and decision logs.
Projects are likely to vary in scale and nature and may include organisational improvement, systems and process development, governance, member services, operational change, programme development and cross-team initiatives.
3. Organisational Performance and Data
- Collect, analyse and interpret data to understand project and organisational performance and impact
- Develop clear and proportionate dashboards and management information.
- Identify trends, gaps, risks and areas requiring attention.
- Work with colleagues to establish meaningful KPIs and measures of success.
- Ensure information is accurate, appropriately managed and compliant with relevant data protection requirements.
4. Board and Senior Leadership Reporting
- Coordinate the preparation of clear, concise and meaningful reports for the Board.
- Establish and maintain an effective reporting timetable.
- Track actions and decisions arising from Board and committee meetings and ensure appropriate follow-up.
The emphasis will be on insight rather than simply reporting activity — helping leaders and trustees understand what is happening, why it matters and where action is required.
5. Governance, Compliance and Policies
- Maintain and regularly update the organisational compliance log, duties and mitigation plans.
- Monitor progress against compliance requirements and highlight emerging risks.
- Support colleagues to ensure compliance actions are followed through.
- Develop, review and update organisational policies and operational procedures.
6. Stakeholder Engagement and Coordination
- Build effective working relationships across the organisation.
- Work collaboratively with staff, volunteers, trustees, partners and external stakeholders.
- Bring people together where projects or priorities cross organisational boundaries.
- Facilitate meetings, workshops and project reviews where required.
- Communicate progress, challenges, risks and successes clearly and appropriately.

About the Role
This Project Officer role is part of Bright Futures, our mentoring and employability support programme for young Gypsy and Traveller people aged 15-25. You will keep the programme organised, connected and running smoothly - managing records and systems, building partnerships, and coordinating workshops and activities so that young people can find their way in and get the most out of the support on offer.
Many of the young people we work with have faced exclusion or discrimination within mainstream education, employment and other services, and are often not in education, employment or training (NEET). The processes, systems and communications you manage all need to be accessible and responsive to young people who may be wary of formal support.
You will coordinate outreach and community engagement to bring young people into the programme, build and maintain relationships with colleges, training providers, employers and community organisations, and manage day-to-day communications with young people, families and partners. You will set up and coordinate a Youth Advisory Group, giving young people a structured way to help shape the programme. You may also be asked to cover for mentee support when a mentor is unavailable or at capacity.
This role is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
About You
This role is for someone who enjoys keeping things organised and connected, and who wants that work to make a real, practical difference in young people's lives – someone committed to supporting young people from marginalised and underserved communities to fairly access relevant opportunities.
You will be highly organised, with strong admin skills and confidence using digital tools and databases. You will also be a confident communicator, equally comfortable writing a promotional post, following up with a training provider, or having a conversation with a young person or their family.
The role is ideal for someone with experience of outreach, building partnerships or community engagement, who can build trusting relationships with a wide range of people – from young people and families to colleges, employers and community organisations. You should be open to providing support to young people when needed.
We don't expect you to already have all the answers what matters most is your admin and organisational ability, your commitment to the communities we work with, and your confidence building relationships across a wide range of people and settings. We will support your development through supervision, training and a small, collaborative team environment.
We know not everyone will meet every requirement in the job description below, but if you feel you have what it takes, please apply and tell us how your experience and skills make you suitable.
If you are not sure what the work looks like or you want to ask questions before applying, we are happy to chat with you about the role. Please contact Mini Ravi (Programme Lead) by calling on our office phone.
