ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a varied role leading a small but impactful charity. As our Operations Manager, you will lead a diverse team of volunteers, and work alongside a small staff team, to lead RAIS Lancaster’s work supporting asylum and refugees through drop-ins, office-based appointments, and projects.

You will work alongside our Senior Support Worker to deliver high quality and complex casework, and our Treasurer/IT Manager to assist with funding bids and monitoring and evaluation of our projects. You will be the front-facing staff member for our partnership work, and liaise with key stakeholders. The Operations Manager will also work closely with our Trustee Board on strategy and governance.

ABOUT THE CHARITY

RAIS Lancaster is a charity founded in 2017 to offer advocacy, information, and support to refugees and asylum seekers in our area. We are volunteer-led, with a small staff team of two currently. We currently offer five drop-ins a week for asylum seekers and refugees, in collaboration with partner organisations, in Lancaster and Morecambe. Each drop-in is staffed by paid and voluntary workers.

We also conduct support work for asylum seekers and refugees facing more complex issues in one-to-one appointments in our office at the Cornerstone in Lancaster, and accompany clients to appointments where appropriate to offer support and advocacy. As the needs of asylum seekers and refugees in our area change, we adapt and develop our work to support those we work with. We are expecting to soon be registered with the Immigration Advice Authority.

OUR VALUES

Inclusive - We aim to work with refugees and those seeking asylum. We are working hard to offer an equal voice and opportunities 

Solidarity - We work from a place of solidarity with those we support

Collaborative - We work with each other and those we come into contact with in harmony

Respect - We have respect for all those that we work with. We treat everyone - clients, volunteers, colleagues, partners and other organisations - with respect, recognising their contributions and strengths

Help create a place where people feel welcome.

At Likewise, we believe that places matter.

Every day our Community Hub is used by clients, community members, volunteers, students, partners and staff. People come here for support, community activities, therapy, learning, work, a cup of tea or simply to spend time with others. The way the Hub feels and functions has a real impact on people's experience. 

We're looking for someone to take ownership of the spaces, systems and practical coordination that help everything work well.

This role combines facilities, operations, coordination and community in a way that's quite unusual. You'll look after the day-to-day running of our building, support the wider organisation, coordinate room hire, oversee health and safety, improve systems and help create an environment where people feel welcome and colleagues have what they need to do their best work.

You'll probably enjoy this role if you like creating order, improving how things work and taking ownership. You're someone who notices what needs attention, whether that's a space, a process or a practical problem, and enjoys sorting it out. You get satisfaction from helping things run well and from creating places where people enjoy being.

Likewise is a community-centred mental health charity based in Camden. We believe people thrive through meaningful relationships, supportive communities and opportunities to contribute. We're also trying to build a different kind of organisation—one that values trust, autonomy, learning and shared responsibility. People here are encouraged to think for themselves, contribute ideas and take ownership of their work. 

This role would suit someone with experience of coordinating an office, community space, workplace or similar environment who enjoys balancing practical organisation with working alongside people. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced charity finance professional to join a friendly, values-driven organisation at an important point in its development.

You will have the chance to shape how we plan, report, forecast and make decisions, helping us build strong financial systems that support high-quality services for adults, parent carers and young carers across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

The role is available due to the upcoming retirement of our current Finance Manager, creating an opportunity for someone to bring fresh insight, strengthen our processes and work closely with the CEO, Treasurer, Senior Management Team and Finance Officer.

You will lead the day-to-day finance function, produce monthly management accounts, oversee payroll, support budget holders, manage cash flow forecasting, review investments, strengthen financial policies and controls, and provide financial modelling for funding applications, tenders and service planning.

About you

You will bring experience of charity, not-for-profit or comparable financial management, with strong skills in management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, payroll oversight, financial controls and reporting.

You will be comfortable managing a small finance team, improving systems and processes, working with auditors and trustees, and supporting organisational efficiency without losing sight of the people and purpose behind the numbers.

Most importantly, you will want to use your finance skills in a role where they make a real difference.

Why join us?

At Carers Support BSG, you will find a warm, committed and practical team working to improve life for unpaid carers of all ages. We support adults, parent carers and young carers through advice, information, assessments, groups, wellbeing support, hospital and GP-based services, and community connection.

You will have flexibility in how you work, the support of an experienced team and the space to help modernise our financial planning and reporting as we develop our next strategy.

If you are looking for a finance role where you can be both hands-on and strategic, where your judgement will be valued, and where your work will help sustain services that matter deeply to local people, we would love to hear from you.
