We are a small, dynamic charity delivering community-led projects and initiatives that seek to both empower and improve the lives of family carers living across Wales.

The Finance and Governance Officer is responsible for the day-to-day financial management, governance support, and administrative oversight of the charity. This role ensures accurate and timely reporting of financial data, effective management of budgets, and compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements for finance and audit. Additionally, the postholder provides key governance support, facilitating the smooth running of the Board of Trustees, maintaining company records, staff records, and ensuring HR policies are reviewed and adhered to.

This position is crucial for maintaining the charity’s operational integrity and supports strategic decision-making by providing robust financial insight and governance expertise.

The role will also play a key role in identifying/sourcing funding for enabling sustainability, by working alongside the Director in drafting proposals/bids.

The post will also work closely with the Project and Engagement Coordinator and Policy & Impact Officer to help support the successful delivery of our projects through budget management and supporting the production of evidence of impact reports.

This is an integral role within the organisation that brings together key organisational, financial and people skills to enable us to continue to make a meaningful impact for families across Wales.

At The Maypole Project, every small action contributes to a family’s strength, stability and hope. As our Operations Officer, you’ll be the person who quietly but powerfully keeps that support flowing – ensuring our team can be there for children with complex medical needs and their families when they need us most.

This role sits at the heart of our organisation. You’ll be the steady hand behind the scenes, making sure our office runs smoothly, our staff feel supported, our policies stay sharp, and our environment is safe and welcoming for everyone who walks through the door. You’ll provide support to the CEO and team leads, helping them deliver the very best support to families.

You’ll manage the rhythm of day‑to‑day operations: from coordinating office needs and liaising with IT and telecoms providers, to ensuring the right resources are where they’re needed. Your eye for organisation will help keep our budgets on track, our shared inboxes responsive, and our essential administration running with calm efficiency.

A key part of your work will be within HR support—helping coordinate recruitment, onboarding new colleagues, maintaining records, and making sure staff feel welcomed and prepared from day one. You’ll also play a vital role in keeping our policies current and meaningful, working closely with the CEO to maintain our review cycle and ensure that information is clear and accessible across the organisation.

Health, safety, environment and fire safety (SHEF) responsibilities form another important strand. You’ll take the lead in maintaining compliance across the organisation, ensuring risk assessments are up to date, first aid provision is well‑stocked, and our premises and equipment remain safe, functional and fit for purpose.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on organisation, and cares about being part of a charity that puts families front and centre. You’ll collaborate across teams, support events and activities, champion equity and inclusion, and contribute to a culture that values compassion, professionalism and shared purpose.

At The Maypole Project, every role matters—but few touch as many parts of the organisation as this one. If you want to make a meaningful impact every day, not just through what you do but through how you enable others to do their best work, this is a place where you can truly make a difference.

To navigate the collaboration between BDEF and Adult Social Care (Bristol City Council), making sure that people with lived expertise lead decisions about the services they rely on, guided by the Co‑Production Policy and Disability Equality principles. Please see the attachments for full Job Description and Person Specification, including links to definitions and relevant policies.

Co‑Design and Co‑Production Worker

Hours: 28 hours per week.  Must be flexible and be available for occasional work outside of usual work hours.

Salary: £30,229.28 pro rata (depending on successful completion of the Probationary Period). For the hours, this would work out at £24,183.43 annually. Point 7 on BDEF Pay Policy.

Purpose: To navigate the collaboration between BDEF and Adult Social Care (Bristol City Council), making sure that people with lived expertise lead decisions about the services they rely on, guided by the Co‑Production Policy and Disability Equality principles.

Reports to: Director of BDEF.

Based at: Chelsea Room, Easton Community Centre, Kilburn Street, Easton, Bristol, BS5 6AW. However, we support flexible working arrangements and hybrid working as we are committed to supporting our workers to meet their needs. If this is relevant for you, this can be discussed.

Contract: This is a fixed term contract until March 2029.

Access: We are a Disabled people led organisation. This role is for Disabled people to apply for. As such, support to make reasonable adjustments and/or support to apply for Access to Work will be embedded from the start of working with us.

 As an organisation, we also use Social Model Identity First language such as ‘Disabled people’ and ‘impairments’ or ‘health conditions’.

We know there are Disabled applicants who will have faced many barriers in developing their careers. When you read the job description and person specification, think about your potential to meet the requirements.

If there are items on the person specification where you feel you don't strictly meet the skills or experience listed but you already have strategies, support, or technology to meet these skills in a way that works for you (or you feel with the right support you could excel at) then please apply.

Co-Design and Co-Production

BDEF’s Director previously supported Bristol City Council Adult Social Care to create a Co‑production Policy. This policy was developed because there was no clear, fair, or consistent way for the Council to involve people with lived experience of using Adult Social Care services.

The policy:

• Is designed through co-production between Disabled people, Carers, Community and Voluntary Sector workers and council officers.
• Clearly defines consultation, engagement, co‑design and co‑production.
• Sets expectations for inclusive, equitable involvement.
• Has been fully adopted and approved by Adult Social Care.
• Is intended to guide all future Adult Social Care work.

Following feedback, Bristol City Council has now contracted BDEF, a Disabled‑people‑led organisation, to take this work forward. This, as part of this contract, role will focus on supporting, embedding and putting the policy into practice, ensuring that people with lived expertise are meaningfully involved in shaping Adult Social Care services.

The role will work closely with people with lived expertise of Adult Social Care services (Disabled people and carers among others), Bristol City Council Adult Social Care officers, community and voluntary organisations and BDEF colleagues. The role holder will work directly with BDEF Director who will offer advice and support.

The main duties can be found in the attached Job Description and Person Specification.

We particularly encourage people with intersectional experiences to get in touch, including but not limited to:

● Disabled people who are Black, Brown or racially minoritised communities.

● Disabled non-binary, trans or gender fluid people.

● Disabled people with lived understanding of refugee or asylum experiences and/or systems (although must now have right to work in UK).

● LGBTQIA+ Disabled people.

● Any other Disabled individuals with lived experience of multiple marginalisations.

Deadline:

Please return the application (in whatever form you choose) by 5pm on Tuesday 24th March 2026.

28 hours per week (4-day week)
Cardiff-based with hybrid working
18-month contract with potential to become permanent

Breast Cancer Now
At Breast Cancer Now, we’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer. From life-changing research to trusted information and specialist support, we’re working towards a future where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives, and lives well. To make this happen, we’re expanding our community presence in Wales.

We’re looking for a Senior Community Fundraiser to help build and grow our work across South Wales, while also playing a key part in our long-standing Asda Tickled Pink partnership, a collaboration that has already raised over £100 million. This is a chance to connect with communities, inspire supporters, and shape a newly re-established role in the region.

About the role
This is an opportunity to help re-establish Breast Cancer Now’s presence in Wales and build meaningful relationships across local communities. You’ll develop new supporters, steward existing ones, and represent the charity at events and in Asda stores as part of a new engagement pilot.

The role is based in Cardiff with hybrid working. You can work up to two days per week from home, with the remaining time spent in the community, at the Cardiff office, or in external meetings. The contract is for 18 months, with the intention to make it permanent if the pilot progresses as expected.

What you’ll do

• Build and develop relationships with individuals, community groups, clubs, societies and local businesses across South Wales.
• Support Asda Tickled Pink engagement by visiting stores, inspiring colleagues, and helping to grow community fundraising.
• Create tailored stewardship plans that ensure supporters feel valued and motivated.
• Identify new opportunities to increase fundraising income and act on them creatively.
• Represent Breast Cancer Now at events, meetings and community activities.
• Use insight and data to inform planning and understand impact.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the fundraising and partnership teams.

About you
We’re looking for someone who is:

• A strong relationship-builder who enjoys meeting new people and making connections.
• Confident and engaging, with excellent verbal communication skills.
• Organised, proactive and able to work independently across a varied region.
• Creative and open to trying new approaches to engage people.
• Comfortable balancing multiple priorities and managing your own time effectively.

Welsh language skills would be beneficial but are not essential.

You will need a full driving licence and regular access to a car.

Working at Breast Cancer Now

You’ll join a supportive, mission-driven team that is passionate about making an impact. We’ll make sure you have a meaningful induction period at the Cardiff office to get to know colleagues and feel part of the wider Breast Cancer Now community.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
