Human Kind exists because vulnerability isn't the exception — it's part of being human. At some point, all of us need connection, kindness, and somewhere we belong. We're a community organisation built around a welcoming café, a programme of events and activities, and — soon — a peer-led listening service, all designed to make sure nobody in Billericay has to face difficult moments alone.

We're now looking for an experienced operational leader to help take Human Kind into its next chapter.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine leadership role, not a café management job. You'll be responsible for the people, programmes and day-to-day operations that make Human Kind work — from our community café and food offer, to family activities, events, partnerships and volunteers.

You'll move between the strategic and the practical: one morning working with trustees on priorities, the next developing a team member, the next solving an operational problem or meeting a potential partner.

You won't be expected to do everything yourself. You'll build a team where people understand their responsibilities and take ownership — while you focus on the decisions, relationships and direction that only you can provide.

Be clear-eyed about what the first year looks like: it's about getting a firm grip on the operation, building structure and earning trust — before it becomes about bigger ambitions. If you enjoy bringing order to a busy, people-first environment and want to see the results of your work in your own community, this is a rare opportunity to make a lasting difference.

About Human Kind

Human Kind is a community organisation based in the heart of Billericay. We believe food, connection and kindness can bring people together and build a stronger community. Our work includes:

• A welcoming, pay-it-forward community café.
• Family and children's activities.
• Community events and regular groups.
• Support for older people, carers and anyone experiencing isolation.
• A growing peer-support and listening offer.
• Partnerships with local schools, charities and businesses.
• A large and active volunteer community.

We've built strong foundations. We're now focused on the leadership, structure and sustainable operating model needed to take Human Kind into its next phase — and this role is central to that.

What You'll Do

• Lead our café, food offer and community programme, working through your team of supervisors and coordinators.
• Build a confident, accountable team that takes real ownership of its areas.
• Make sure volunteers are a genuine, valued part of how we work — not just extra help.
• Manage budgets and costs with a commercial eye, while protecting what makes Human Kind special.
• Build relationships with local schools, partners and organisations that extend our reach.
• Help shape a new listening and peer-support service as it launches.
• Give trustees clear visibility of performance, risks and opportunities.

Your First Year

Your early months will be about getting a clear, honest picture of what's working and what needs to change, and establishing who owns what across the team. From there, you'll strengthen your team's ownership, tighten up reporting and systems, and start building toward a more coordinated, sustainable programme of activity — bringing your own ideas and experience to how that takes shape.

What We're Looking For

• Significant leadership and operational management experience — you may come from a charity, hospitality, community, education or customer-facing background.
• A track record of developing and holding managers or team leaders accountable.
• Confidence with budgets, costs and commercial decision-making.
• The ability to work with real autonomy — comfortable bringing your own structure and judgement rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Strong relationship-building skills, with the confidence to have difficult conversations when needed.
• A genuine connection to what Human Kind stands for.

Experience with volunteers, café or hospitality operations, or charity-sector leadership would be a bonus, but isn't essential — what matters most is your ability to lead people and build something better.

Kentown Africa Foundation is an ambitious UK grant-making charity with a clear mission: to improve the health and wellbeing of children across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Kentown Africa Foundation is looking to recruit a Head of Finance and Operations at an exciting stage in the organisation’s development.

About us

Every child deserves the opportunity to survive, thrive and reach their full potential. Kentown Africa Foundation is a UK-based grant-making foundation dedicated to making that a reality for children across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Foundation provides funding to organisations, partnerships and innovative programmes that strengthen health systems, improve access to quality healthcare and create sustainable, lasting change.

Its approach is deliberately collaborative and locally led, working with trusted partners, healthcare professionals, researchers and community organisations to support evidence-based interventions and stronger healthcare systems for the future.

This is a relatively small but ambitious organisation, with a team bringing together expertise across global health, philanthropy, grant-making and programme management. The Foundation is supported by an experienced Board of Trustees and is now building its infrastructure and capacity for its next stage of growth.

About you

This is a broad and influential finance role, reporting directly to the CEO and forming part of the Senior Management Team.

The Head of Finance and Operations will take overall responsibility for the finance function, providing high-quality financial information, strong financial controls and effective financial governance, while also playing an important role in the organisation's wider operations.

You will be a trusted adviser to the CEO and Board, helping to shape financial strategy, budgets and forecasts and providing the financial insight needed to support grant-making decisions.

A particularly interesting aspect of the role is the grant finance oversight. You will work closely with the Head of Grants to assess funding applications, monitor the financial performance of funded projects, review grantee budgets and reports, and help strengthen financial capacity within partner organisations.

The role will also have responsibility for statutory accounts and audit, Charity SORP compliance, tax, payroll and pensions, as well as company secretarial and governance responsibilities. There is also an opportunity to contribute to the development of IT systems, risk management and wider organisational processes.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a qualified accountant or an accountant qualified by experience who combines strong technical finance expertise with a genuinely strategic and hands-on approach.

You are likely to have senior finance experience within a charity, grant-making organisation, international development organisation or another complex not-for-profit environment, although relevant experience from other sectors will also be considered.

You will bring:

• Strong financial management, analysis and strategic planning skills
• Experience of budgeting, forecasting and financial risk management
• Experience preparing statutory accounts, ideally within the charity sector and under Charity SORP
• Experience of financial governance and reporting to Boards or senior stakeholders
• The ability to critically evaluate existing processes and identify improvements
• Strong Excel skills and experience with financial systems – ideally QuickBooks
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work confidently with both financial and non-financial stakeholders
• High levels of accuracy, integrity and attention to detail

Above all, this role would suit someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative organisation, is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and wants their financial expertise to have a meaningful impact.

What’s on offer?

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing international philanthropic organisation at an important point in its development.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Shape the finance function of a growing and ambitious charity
• Work closely with the CEO, Senior Management Team and Board
• Have a genuine influence on financial strategy, governance and organisational development
• Play a key role in ensuring grant funding is managed effectively and delivers maximum impact
• Work alongside experienced partners, healthcare professionals and organisations working to improve children's healthcare
• Enjoy flexible remote working, with 22.5 hours per week over 3–4 days
• Benefit from a generous leave policy
• Receive an enhanced pension scheme and employee benefits
• Have opportunities for travel where applicable

If you are an experienced finance professional looking for a flexible, genuinely influential part-time role and want to use your expertise to support an organisation with a clear and meaningful purpose, we would love to hear from you.
