As the first recruitment agency in the UK to become a certified B Corp, Prospectus is a recruitment business with a difference. Working exclusively in the not-for-profit sector, we believe our clients change the world for individuals, communities and society. For over 60 years we have been working across the UK and internationally to connect talented people with not-for-profit organisations.
At an exciting time of change, we are now looking to recruit a motivated, people-focused individual to join as an Office Manager.
In this role you will take the lead on creating an office environment that your colleagues will truly want to spend time in while continuing to ensure they can work seamlessly wherever they are. We will need you to be able to see the bigger picture and be comfortable working directly with senior leaders across the business.
You will ensure a keen focus on delivering excellent operational services and processes, including health and safety, building maintenance, office management, ICT, risk management and business continuity, working collaboratively with our external operational partners.

Our Operations Assistant will report to you.
You will have experience in office or facilities management but have seen your role evolve over the last few years as office-based work has moved towards remote and hybrid models. If you are now ready to take what you have learnt during this period to further your Operations career and embrace a more strategic, forward-thinking role we’d love to hear from you.
Previous experience covering ICT, health and safety, managing supplier relationships and office management is essential.

BACKGROUND
The latest research suggesting that the number of children and young people at risk of hunger has rocketed to three million means that one in five children don't have enough to eat.
When a child is too hungry to learn, when they’re aching for something to eat, they can’t concentrate. They can’t absorb information. Big feelings and worries can be impossible to control. They fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provide a nutritious and filling breakfast to over 200,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma.
Magic Breakfast are ambitious to grow our impact in order to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for all children and young people in the UK. To do this, we need to continue to grow our fundraised income, of which new corporate income is a significant element.
