New business officer jobs

Jimmy’s Cambridge are seeking a Director of Performance.  This is a completely new post, designed to radically transform assurance and accountability ahead of licencing and regulatory compliance within our sector.  We have always prided ourselves on being ahead of the curve within the sector, whether that’s through innovation, widening our offer, or resourcing our professions, and now again, we are getting ahead of the curve to drive up standards and lead from the front. 

The Director of Performance will hold the organisation and its staff to account for providing exceptional service and gold standard accommodation to our residents.  The post holder will line manage the Head of services, Head of Finance and People, Head of Fundraising, Communications and Communities and the Project Officer, holding them to account for delivery of business and service plans, effective and efficient running of portfolios and functions, high levels of Return on Investment (ROI), stakeholder satisfaction, regulatory compliance and commissioner and contract delivery.  The post holder will utilise data, evidence and insights to assess performance and assure the CEO and Board that Jimmy’s Cambridge is run effectively and efficiently for the benefit of our residents. 

You will come from a very strong performance background, most likely with a highly detailed understanding of regulatory compliance within any regulated / licenced sector.  You will be unafraid to ask difficult questions, scrutinise business and operational planning, put into practice swift and effective performance improvement initiatives, and assure a Board of your services / portfolios efficiency, effectiveness and grip within complex operating environments.  Unafraid of robust conversations and relationships, you will not shy away from what needs to be done to ensure the very highest standards for our residents.  You will not necessarily come from a homelessness or housing background, but you will possess a strong poverty reduction, inclusion and social justice ethos.  Empathetic with a titanium core! 

Closing Date: 12 noon Friday 10th July 2026.

Interviews will be held in Cambridge on Friday 17th July 2026 with Natasha Davies CEO and Ian Cardwell Trustee
