The Sunshine Centre is a well-established and highly valued community hub, supporting children and families across Banbury through early years provision, family services and strong local partnerships.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a purpose-driven organisation where your impact will be visible, meaningful and genuinely valued within the community.

• Take ownership of financial sustainability, including budgeting, fundraising and income generation

• Drive continuous improvement, responding to community needs and feedback

• Act as a visible ambassador, building strong relationships with families, partners and stakeholders

This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring both strategic thinking and close involvement in day-to-day delivery.

You’ll be a confident, values-led leader with the ability to inspire others and deliver real impact.

You will bring:

• Proven leadership experience within early years, childcare, charity or community settings

• Experience working in regulated environments (e.g. Ofsted), with strong safeguarding knowledge

• A track record of securing funding through fundraising, bid writing or income generation

• Strong financial and commercial awareness

• The ability to turn strategy into practical delivery

• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams

Does every child have the right to "sparkle"? We think so.

At Thriving Through Recreation, we believe that equitable access to hobbies, sports, and the arts is a fundamental part of growing up. We work with children and young people navigating social, emotional, or educational difficulties, helping them find and fund the activities they love in their own communities.

We are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and highly organised Activities Support Co-Ordinator to join our team.

The Role

Working directly with our CEO, you will be the engine room of our Activities Support Programme. This is a primarily remote role, but because our heart is in the community, you must be based in Cambridgeshire to facilitate local connections and occasional travel within the county.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Connecting: Triage and assess applications, building relationships with families and referring professionals to understand a child’s unique needs.
• Vetting: Conducting risk assessments and due diligence to ensure every activity provider we partner with meets our gold-standard safeguarding requirements.
• Facilitating: Managing the "matchmaking" process—finding the right club, negotiating payments, and tracking the budget.
• Evidencing: Collecting the stories and data that prove our impact, helping us grow and reach more young people.

Who You Are

You are someone who balances a big heart with a sharp eye for detail. You understand that "equity" means doing whatever it takes to level the playing field.

• Experienced: You have a background in social work, youth work, teaching, or a related field. You’ve worked with families facing disadvantage, and you know how to navigate complex family difficulties.
• Qualified: A degree or certification in Social Work, Youth Work, Education or a related field.
• Safeguarding Savvy: A deep understanding of safeguarding principles and child protection procedures.
• Independent: You’re comfortable leading frontline operations autonomously and can manage a budget with precision.
• A Multitasker: Ability to manage a budget, family case load and calendar without breaking a sweat.
• A Great Communicator: Whether you’re on a video call chatting with a parent and child about finger painting or liaising with a local activity provider, you can adjust your style to build rapport instantly.
• Local Knowledge: As a resident of Cambridgeshire, you’ll use your local insight to help expand our reach across the county.

Why Join Us?

• Be a Pioneer: You’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of a rapidly growing charity.
• Impact-Focused: You will see the direct results of your work as children gain confidence and thrive through recreational learning.
• Flexible & Inclusive: We offer remote working and value your unique journey. We encourage applications that evidence these requirements through paid or unpaid roles, as well as personal and professional experience.

Thriving Through Recreation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All short-listed applicants will need to submit a Safeguarding Self-Declaration Form, and all appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.

What is NHS Continuing Healthcare?

NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is the name given to a package of care that some people need to receive due to disability, accident or illness. People who are eligible for CHC have the full cost of their care and residential accommodation funded by the NHS. This relieves families of sometimes astronomical care bills.

The criteria for determining who is eligible for CHC are highly complex and can be very difficult for the public to understand, and for professionals to apply consistently. The assessment process is lengthy and detailed. Likewise, the appeal process can be very daunting and perplexing.

About our organisation

Beacon was established in May 2014 for the purpose of providing independent and high-quality support to individuals and their families in England who need help navigating the NHS Continuing Healthcare process.

Beacon is a registered social enterprise and a proud member of Social Enterprise UK. We operate with a core set of ethical social objectives and values through which all of our work is delivered.

Social enterprises are businesses. Like any other business, they seek to make a profit and succeed commercially. But how they operate, who they employ, how they use their profits and where they work transforms lives and communities across the UK. At Beacon, we donate any surpluses to supporting charitable objectives that are in line with our aims.

Through expert advocacy, advice and training, Beacon enables people to be heard and to enact real and positive change in their lives. We help people to understand their rights and the realistic options available to them, equipping some of those most vulnerable in society with the knowledge and practical support to make meaningful and transformative decisions.

Our Values

At Beacon, we employ people who want to do things differently to other organisations working in this field. Five values sum up our culture and how we treat our clients and our staff:

1. Ethical

Commitment to our clients

We operate with honesty and integrity. We are transparent about our funding set-up and our fees, which we keep as low as we sensibly can. We never ‘hard sell’ our services, we keep you informed at every step, and we always give our honest opinion of your chances of success. As a social enterprise, we donate any profits to charity.

Commitment to our team

We operate with honesty and integrity, and always work hard to get the best results for our clients and the business. We work to high standards, and trust our people to respectfully speak out if we fall short.

1. Expert

Commitment to our clients

We pride ourselves on being recognised as leading independent experts in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We apply our knowledge and experience to help every case and caller. We also strive to improve CHC for everyone, by training health and social care professionals.

Commitment to our team

We are the leading experts in our field. We encourage and value innovation and evolution in what we do, and how we do it. We are united in developing the business and its services.

1. Personal

Commitment to our clients

By listening carefully to you and the people who really know about your care needs, we can provide excellent advice and powerful advocacy tailored to your unique situation.

Commitment to our team

We get results by getting to know our clients. We do the same with our people, offering flexible working options to suit your circumstances, and taking time out to have fun as a team.

1. Compassionate

Commitment to our clients

We are mindful of the immense stress that our callers and clients can be under, at what is often a really tough time. We do our best to lift some of that burden by providing a quality service that you can trust, and by being compassionate and courteous at all times.

Commitment to our team

The nature of the work can be stressful and emotionally draining. We take care and time to look out for each other, and encourage healthy work habits.

1. Rewarding

Commitment to our team

We take the time to celebrate success and are inspired by one another’s achievements. We provide a generous and varied suite of benefits that can be enjoyed by our people and their families.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Newt Conservation Partnership on a one-year maternity cover contract. In this varied role, you will provide essential administrative support across the organisation, helping to ensure the smooth running of projects, coordination of activities, and effective day-to-day operations.

The successful applicant will be employed by Freshwater Habitats Trust, seconded full-time to the Newt Conservation Partnership.
