We are seeking an Interim Chief Executive / Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of the Law Centre. Working closely with our Board of Trustees, you will manage staff, office operations, finance and administration, funded projects and organisational compliance, ensuring our services continue to deliver high-quality support to the community.

This flexible role could suit an experienced Chief Executive, Charity Manager, Operations Manager, Office Manager or Practice Manager. Experience of the legal advice or charity sector would be advantageous but is not essential.

To apply, please send your CV together with a supporting statement explaining how you meet the requirements of the Job Description and Person Specification..

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and the vacancy will remain open until the post is filled.

Plumstead Community Law Centre is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

We are looking for a proactive and organised Administrative Support Officer to help keep MaidEnergy running smoothly. This is a varied, hands-on role covering day-to-day administration, communications, finance and governance support, and IT coordination. You will work closely with our Project Coordinators and Directors, and your contribution will be central to the organisation’s effectiveness. 

MaidEnergy is a community-owned renewable energy co-operative working across Maidenhead, Windsor, Egham, Staines, and the surrounding area. Founded in 2010, our mission is to cut carbon emissions and enable community ownership of locally generated renewable energy. 

Since our first solar installation in 2015, our 250+ members have invested over £900,000, funding seven solar PV installations and one ground source heat pump, saving 605 tonnes of CO2, and supplying 2,448 MWh of clean energy to local schools, leisure centres, and community hubs. 

We are a Community Benefit Society, which means we are democratically run with an asset lock to preserve our energy infrastructure for the benefit of the community. Profits are reinvested into new projects and community action. We are part of a growing national movement putting energy in the hands of communities. 

The role is largely self-directed. You will be trusted to manage your own time and priorities, with guidance from and coordination with the team as needed. 

For the right candidate, there is scope to grow beyond the core admin function. We are open to someone who wants to get involved in project-specific and strategic work, or to serve as an extra pair of eyes on work produced by the project coordinators. This is not a requirement of the role, but an opportunity we would welcome.
