We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything,

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Purpose of the role

The Operations Manager will ensure that HCCN has the people, systems, processes and resources needed to deliver its distinctive community cancer support effectively, safely and sustainably.

Working closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees, the postholder will translate HCCN’s strategy into clear operational priorities and ensure that the organisation is well organised, financially responsible, compliant and capable of delivering a high-quality experience for people affected by cancer.

The role is particularly important in enabling HCCN to work effectively alongside the NHS Community Cancer Nursing Team and to provide the non-clinical support that helps people live well with and beyond cancer.

This is a senior but hands-on operational role. It requires someone who can exercise sound judgement, establish effective systems and provide practical solutions, while recognising that HCCN is a relatively small charity with limited resources.

The postholder will focus on making the organisation work well, rather than personally delivering HCCN’s specialist wellbeing activities.

Role boundaries and priorities

The primary priorities are:

1.Effective and person-centred service coordination

2.Operational planning and organisational performance

3.Governance, risk and compliance

4.Financial and resource oversight

5.People, volunteers and organisational culture

6.Efficient operational infrastructure

7.Effective partnership working with the NHS and local community

The postholder will work within the authority delegated by the Board and will escalate matters requiring trustee approval or strategic decision-making.

To keep the role achievable within 25 hours per week, the postholder will establish effective systems, coordinate and delegate appropriately, and work with trustees, staff, volunteers, activity leaders and specialist support where available.

The role does not have responsibility for clinical decision-making or the delivery of specialist clinical cancer care.

Please see our role description for full deatils of the responsibilities of this role.

How to apply

Please send your CV and a covering letter outlining your relevant experience, leadership approach and interest in HCCN.

HCCN is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from candidates from all backgrounds.

About us

Freedom from Torture is an established charity that has been supporting survivors of torture for over 35 years and has a dedicated donor base. We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based interventions for people who have survived torture.

This role offers a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of health research, innovation, survivor involvement and international collaboration.

You will be an experienced programme or project management professional with a track record of delivering complex health research programmes. You will have experience of managing externally funded research programmes, working with major research funders, coordinating activity across multiple organisations, supporting governance structures, managing risk and assurance processes, and contributing to financial monitoring and reporting.

You will understand the importance of meaningful involvement of people with lived experience in research and service development. You will have experience of supporting inclusive engagement, co-design, consultation or participation activities and be committed to ensuring that diverse voices influence decision-making, governance and programme delivery.

You will bring excellent communication and relationship-management skills, with the ability to work confidently with academics, clinicians, funders, people with lived experience, senior organisational leaders and colleagues across different professional backgrounds. You will be organised, proactive and able to exercise sound judgement in a complex and fast-moving programme environment.

This role would particularly suit candidates from university or health providers research management, major health research funders, and mental or physical health clinicians with substantial research management experience.

Why this opportunity?

You'll be joining a high-profile transformation programme at an organisation whose work has a significant soci

St George the Martyr is a growing Parish Church. We are looking for an experienced operational leader who can help us build the organisation around that growth and turn vision into practical reality.

This is a senior leadership role at the heart of a vibrant, world-diverse parish in central London. Our congregation has grown, new ministries have taken root, Holy Hour has created a distinctive new space for worship and encounter, and the Borough Food Cooperative has become an increasingly important part of our relationship with the neighbourhood.

There is a great deal of life here. The question for us now is how we develop the people, systems, resources and organisational capacity needed to sustain it.

We are therefore appointing a Director of Operations / Parish Clerk to become the senior lay operational leader of St George the Martyr.

Working closely with the Rector, Churchwardens and PCC, you will take substantial responsibility for the effective day-to-day running and development of the parish. You will help turn our Mission Action Plan and wider ambitions into practical plans, strengthen our finances and governance, lead staff, improve systems, oversee significant projects and ensure that good decisions become reality.

This is not an administrative support role. We are looking for someone who enjoys making organisations work better, can see both the bigger picture and the practical detail, and is comfortable exercising real responsibility and delegated authority.

The role is unusually broad and interesting. Among other things, you will have the opportunity to:

• lead and develop our operational staff team;
• strengthen budgeting, forecasting and financial management;
• improve governance, safeguarding, risk and organisational systems;
• help shape an additional parish support role;
• develop our approach to giving, fundraising and income generation;
• support the continued development of the Borough Food Cooperative;
• help shape the future of our buildings and property, including the significant potential of our nearby St Alphege site;
• make thoughtful use of technology, automation and AI to make everyday work easier and more effective.

We do not expect you to be an expert in every part of this wide-ranging role, and you do not need to have worked in a church before. More important is a strong track record in operations or organisational leadership, good financial judgement, experience of leading people, the ability to solve problems and improve systems, and the confidence to know when to act, when to delegate and when to seek advice.

St George the Martyr stands in the heart of Borough, on a site where Christians have worshipped for more than nine centuries. Our present church dates from 1736 and carries extraordinary layers of London history, but we are not primarily a heritage project. We are a living, worshipping church, rooted in the progressive Anglican-Catholic tradition, sacramental and inclusive, with the Eucharist at the heart of our life.

Our values are Worship, Purpose, Togetherness and Justice. We want to be a church where people grow in faith, newcomers find belonging, volunteers discover and use their gifts, children and families have a real place among us, and our buildings and resources are used imaginatively in the service of God and our neighbours.

The successful candidate will also hold the historic office of Parish Clerk of St George the Martyr and, subject to the appropriate requirements, may be proposed for membership of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks.

You will have a desire to support and develop the Christian mission and ethos of St George the Martyr and commitment to its values of Worship, Purpose, Togetherness and Justice.
