About the role

As an Operations Support Officer within SSAFA’s Glasgow’s Helping Heroes service, you will play an important role in supporting the day-to-day delivery of services to the Armed Forces community. You will provide essential administrative support to help the team work efficiently and respond to those in need in a timely and consistent way.

You will manage referrals, update case management systems, and keep records accurate and up to date to support effective decision-making.

You will also act as a first point of contact for enquiries, providing helpful information and signposting to appropriate support where needed. You will assist with data tracking, reporting, and workflow processes to ensure information is reliable and easy to access.

Working closely with Housing Advisors, Peer Support Workers, and partner organisations, you will help coordinate activities and maintain good communication across the service. You will support the organisation of meetings, manage documentation, and assist with funding processes, including processing requests and keeping track of spend.

You will follow good practice around data protection, safeguarding, and confidentiality. You will also support improvements by identifying simple ways to make processes more efficient.

As a pet‑friendly service, GHH regularly supports beneficiaries who may have assistance or support animals.

About the team

The team is based in a dog friendly office at the Pearce Institute in Govan, Glasgow, with the option to work remotely one day per week after probation. GHH is a partnership between SSAFA and Glasgow City Council, delivering trusted support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families during times of need.

Our approach is trauma-informed and focused on delivering intense, holistic wraparound support. This means addressing not only housing needs but also the wider challenges that impact stability, such as mental health, financial wellbeing, and social inclusion. Every intervention is designed to reduce risk, build resilience, and empower beneficiaries to sustain long-term housing solutions.

You will manage your own workload while supporting the wider team to stay organised and focused on priorities. You will use good judgement and act with integrity, particularly when priorities change. You will contribute to a supportive working environment and show an understanding of the challenges involved in working with individuals in difficult or crisis situations.

You will support the coordination of complex and sensitive situations, ensuring information is accurate, shared appropriately, and followed up in a timely way. You will also provide practical support to colleagues and help maintain standards around safeguarding, data quality, and professional boundaries.

Good communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills are important in this role. You will also take a practical approach to identifying simple improvements to systems and processes, helping the service to run smoothly and effectively.

Your work will help ensure people receive the right support at the right time and contribute to positive outcomes for the Armed Forces community.

Interviews: Week commencing 14 September 2026

This exciting new role sits within REUK’s Education Pathways work which has been in a pilot phase for the last few years and is rapidly growing now that the UK government has made a commitment to expanding safe and legal routes to higher education in the UK for refugee students.

Once a student is selected for participation and offered a university place, this postholder becomes their core anchor and primary REUK point of contact. This role oversees the entire student journey—from pre-departure preparation and arrival orientation to ongoing academic support, psychosocial wellbeing, community building on campus and monitoring of student outcomes.

The postholder will work alongside the newly created Education Pathways Universities Lead. While the Universities Lead focuses on institutional partnerships, you will focus on the student support side of the pathway: equipping university welcome groups to develop integration plans, pairing scholars with academic mentors (with support from REUK’s educational mentoring team), building a vibrant national student network, and providing hands-on casework escalation when complex issues arise.

This is a critical role within a small, high-capacity specialist unit within REUK. Because this is an emerging and new area of work you must be comfortable working with risk and ambiguity, refining and learning rapidly as parameters evolve. You will be a versatile practitioner - equally skilled at designing cohort orientation programmes and delivering student workshops as you are at managing administrative workflows, tracking student outcomes, and delivering compassionate, individual casework support.

Role outcomes

1. Refugee Education Pathway students transition smoothly into UK higher education through comprehensive pre-departure guidance, arrival orientation, and holistic onboarding. To this end, key responsibilities include: 

• Serving as REUK’s primary point of contact for scholars in the months immediately preceding travel, delivering pre-departure briefings and managing expectation-setting.

• Supporting the Education Pathways Lead to recruit, select and match eligible students.

• Coordinating arrival logistics and initial orientation in close collaboration with partner universities and campus welcome groups.

• Establishing clear, trauma-informed onboarding protocols to help students adapt quickly to the academic and cultural environment of UK universities.

• Designing and delivering (in collaboration with young refugees who participated in the pilot pathway) high-quality orientation resources, toolkits, and interactive induction sessions tailored to the unique practical and psychosocial needs of newly arrived refugee students.

• Working alongside the Universities Lead to conduct campus visits to ensure scholars are safely settled and Welcome Groups are offering appropriate integration support

2. Scholars thrive academically, socially, and emotionally through tailored REUK-added support structures, mentorship, and peer networks. To this end, key responsibilities include: 

• Supporting the Universities Lead in training campus welcome groups (staff, student unions, and peer volunteers) and maintaining ongoing liaison to ensure high-quality local support.

• Overseeing REUK’s added-value support framework, including:

  • Sourcing, matching, and managing academic mentors for students on the programme;

About us

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues. This is a homeworking role and you are expected to be in the London office once a month

About the role

Reporting in to the Church Engagement & Fundraising Advisor, the Church Engagement & Fundraising Officer is a proactive fundraising and church engagement role.

You will be out in churches and communities across London and the home counties, building new relationships, strengthening existing high-value support, and inspiring churches to give, act and pray with Christian Aid.

You will identify and approach prospective churches, pick up the phone to book meetings, speak confidently in church services and local gatherings, and make compelling asks that lead to increased giving and deeper engagement.

This is a remote team to facilitate post holders to be proactively present in local church communities. Much of your impact will come from being out and about: visiting churches, meeting clergy and volunteers, attending local events, speaking at services, and building relationships face to face. You should expect regular travel across London and the home counties, including some evenings and weekends.

We are looking for someone who is energised by being out in the community, not someone looking for a primarily desk-based role.

In this role, success will mean:

• building a strong pipeline of churches and groups with the potential to support Christian Aid;
• securing meetings, speaking opportunities and invitations into church spaces;
• inspiring churches to increase their giving, particularly around appeals and key fundraising moments;
• strengthening relationships with current high-value church supporters so they feel known, thanked and encouraged;
• equipping volunteers and local champions to extend Christian Aid’s reach;
• using insight, data and local knowledge to prioritise the relationships with greatest potential.

A significant part of this role will be proactive new relationship-building. You will not only respond to churches already connected with Christian Aid; you will identify new opportunities, approach churches and leaders, and work creatively to open doors for giving, fundraising, campaigning and prayer.

About you

Who we are looking for:

Essential:

• Demonstrable experience driving fundraising and relationship building.
• Knowledge of church audiences across all denominations.
• Experience of mentoring volunteers to add capacity, skills and aptitude to empower and support them.
• Detailed knowledge of the principles of good donor management or customer care, and understanding of the principles of relationship building.
• Developed communication skills to inspire others to take action and use their skills and resources to fundraise and donate.
• Developed communication skills to communicate complex messages creatively and effectively to diverse audiences.
• An ability to analyse and interpret information and data to prioritise work and achieve results.
• Organisational skills to work under pressure and manage competing priorities to deliver multiple concurrent activities.
• The ability to travel frequently to locations, including some evenings and weekends.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of current fundraising legislation and good practice.
• Knowledge of relevant church networks and denominational structures.
• Ability to effectively portray development messages in a theological context.
• Knowledge of global development issues and Christian Aid’s work.
• Good knowledge of the London and South East geographical region.

This role would suit you if you are a confident relationship-builder who enjoys getting out into communities, opening doors and inspiring people to act. You might come from community fundraising, church engagement, major donor engagement, sales, business development, volunteer mobilisation or a church-facing role with clear fundraising experience.

You will need to be confident talking with churches, meeting ambitious targets, comfortable making asks for financial support, and motivated by helping local communities turn faith, generosity and concern for global justice into practical action.

Further information

At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.

We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams. 

We have a strong Christian ethos and we encourage applications from all faiths. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of and sympathy with Christian Aid’s faith identity. 

All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us. We also participate in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme.  In line with this Scheme, we will request information as part of the referencing process from job applicants’ previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK. We will contact you regarding the documentation you will need to provide to evidence this. 

An opportunity to play a pivotal leadership role in a highly respected local charity that makes a real difference to people affected by cancer across West Berkshire.

As Director of Operations at Newbury Cancer Care, you will be at the heart of the charity, leading its day-to-day operations and working closely with the Board of Trustees, employees, volunteers, healthcare partners and the wider local community.

This is a broad, hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys making things happen. You will provide direction and support to the team, ensure the charity operates effectively and responsibly, build strong relationships across our network and help ensure our services continue to meet the needs of local cancer patients and their families.

We are looking for a confident, compassionate and highly organised individual who can work independently, motivate others and comfortably move between strategic conversations and the practical realities of running a small charity. Experience within the charity sector would be particularly valuable, as would knowledge of charity governance, the NHS or fundraising, but equally important is an understanding of what it takes to lead a purpose-driven organisation where people and community are at the centre of everything we do.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on a genuinely varied and rewarding role with considerable autonomy and the chance to make a visible difference within the local community.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the operational management of Newbury Cancer Care
• Build strong relationships with trustees, volunteers, NHS teams and community partners
• Support the development of new services and future strategy
• Ensure the charity meets governance and Charity Commission requirements
• Manage budgets and financial reporting using Sage
• Lead and support volunteers, including recruitment and development
• Oversee office administration, communications and publicity
• Help identify fundraising opportunities and support community engagement
• Represent the charity at meetings, events and presentations
• Drive continuous improvement to ensure we deliver the very best support for local people affected by cancer.

About you

We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

You'll be:

• A self-starter who enjoys working independently
• An experienced operational or charity leader
• Comfortable working with a Board of Trustees
• A confident people manager with excellent relationship-building skills
• Organised, pragmatic and able to manage multiple priorities
• Financially confident, with experience using accounting software such as Sage
• A strong communicator with excellent networking skills
• Emotionally resilient and compassionate, with the ability to support people facing difficult circumstances
• Confident using Microsoft Office and digital tools, including social media.

We'd also love to hear from you if you have experience of:

• Working within the charity sector
• NHS or healthcare environments
• Charity governance
• Fundraising and community engagement.

Why join us?

This is more than an operations role.

It's an opportunity to lead a respected local charity that genuinely changes lives every day. You'll work alongside passionate trustees, dedicated volunteers and healthcare professionals, helping ensure people affected by cancer receive the support they need, when they need it most.

We’re looking for a part time Outreach Support Worker to join us on a fixed term contract, to support vulnerable individuals across the Epping and Harlow area of Essex. You’ll be helping people overcome challenges related to mental health, physical health, and employment.

• Start by visiting customers in their homes, helping them maintain their tenancies and build essential life skills.
• Support individuals with navigating welfare benefits, accessing services, and building confidence.
• Liaise with external agencies to ensure customers get the right support at the right time.
• Provide crisis intervention when needed, always with empathy and professionalism.

What makes this role special

Please note, this isn’t a personal care worker role. This is a role where it’s about empowering people, not doing things for them. You’ll help customers build resilience, develop skills, and take control of their lives. You’ll be their cheerleader, guide and advocate. You’ll be part of a passionate team that’s committed to helping people flourish, and you’ll have the freedom to work independently while making a real impact. A role where your support creates independence

Could it be you?

We’re looking for someone who:

• 25 days’ annual holiday (plus bank holidays)
• Flexible benefits scheme including healthcare, dental, tech, vouchers, and more
• Up to 10% pension contribution

Please read before applying:

• Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor, so we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
