You will provide strategic and practical leadership across finance, organisational operations, risk, governance and compliance. We want you to contribute beyond your functional portfolio - support organisational strategy, planning, culture, partnerships and fundraising and translate Place Matters’ ambitions into deliverable and financially sustainable plans.

UKHarvest is an award-winning food rescue and education charity that tackles two major challenges at the same time: food waste and food insecurity. Founded in 2016, UKHarvest rescues surplus nutritious food from growers, farmers and suppliers that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to support people and communities across the South of England and London. But it doesn't stop there. UKHarvest also teaches people how to make the most of that food through cooking, nutrition and food-waste prevention programmes, helping families develop the skills and confidence to eat well for less and waste less at home.

UKHarvest's commitment to combining food, education and community is perhaps best demonstrated through the Nourish Hub in Shepherd's Bush, West London. Opened in 2022, the Hub was established as a welcoming community space where people can access nutritious meals, practical support, educational opportunities and social connection under one roof. The Nourish Hub has received local and national recognition for its social and environmental impact.

Building on this successful model, UKHarvest has recently opened the Nourish Hub Café in Bognor Regis. The café reflects the same ethos that has shaped the organisation since its founding: using good food as a catalyst for positive change and building up community that surrounds it through accessible food education and affordable, healthy food.

UKHarvest is now entering a new phase. Founder Yvonne Thomson has stepped away from the organisation.

Purpose of the role

The Operations Manager will ensure that HCCN has the people, systems, processes and resources needed to deliver its distinctive community cancer support effectively, safely and sustainably.

Working closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees, the postholder will translate HCCN’s strategy into clear operational priorities and ensure that the organisation is well organised, financially responsible, compliant and capable of delivering a high-quality experience for people affected by cancer.

The role is particularly important in enabling HCCN to work effectively alongside the NHS Community Cancer Nursing Team and to provide the non-clinical support that helps people live well with and beyond cancer.

This is a senior but hands-on operational role. It requires someone who can exercise sound judgement, establish effective systems and provide practical solutions, while recognising that HCCN is a relatively small charity with limited resources.

The postholder will focus on making the organisation work well, rather than personally delivering HCCN’s specialist wellbeing activities.

Role boundaries and priorities

The primary priorities are:

1.Effective and person-centred service coordination

2.Operational planning and organisational performance

3.Governance, risk and compliance

4.Financial and resource oversight

5.People, volunteers and organisational culture

6.Efficient operational infrastructure

7.Effective partnership working with the NHS and local community

The postholder will work within the authority delegated by the Board and will escalate matters requiring trustee approval or strategic decision-making.

To keep the role achievable within 25 hours per week, the postholder will establish effective systems, coordinate and delegate appropriately, and work with trustees, staff, volunteers, activity leaders and specialist support where available.

The role does not have responsibility for clinical decision-making or the delivery of specialist clinical cancer care.

Please see our role description for full deatils of the responsibilities of this role.

How to apply

Please send your CV and a covering letter outlining your relevant experience, leadership approach and interest in HCCN.
