Responsible to
Operations Director
Holiday entitlement
Paid holiday entitlement of 28 days, plus 8 bank holidays
Plus a day’s leave on your birthday, plus a wellbeing day’s leave
The Role
The purpose of the role is to win vacancies and place ex-offender candidates into sustainable paid employment with local employers. Working towards a promotion to Manager within 6 months, you will then also provide leadership to the Preston office team, being responsible for the management and Recruitment Consultant responsibilities for 70% of your role.
Purpose
We place people with convictions into paid work, so they can build purposeful lives and see their families thrive
Mission
We do this by providing practical employment support, linking them to companies with good jobs
Vision
A society where people’s past convictions don’t define their employment future
Duties and Tasks
There are four main areas of work, all of which are vital to achieving the key positive outcome for the individuals we support: sustained meaningful employment.
1. New Employer Engagement
Expanding our network of employers to generate a regular flow of job opportunities, allowing us to place our candidates into work.
This will require new business development and excellent ongoing relationship management. You will identify which jobs are most sought after by our typical candidates and which are more specialist or occasional opportunities. Equally, you will gravitate towards employers who demonstrate agility and responsiveness in their hiring processes. Your client contacts are more likely to be business owners, divisional managers and site supervisors than social value or EDI teams.
You will:
- Proactively approach local employers who are advertising paid jobs that could suit current candidates on our books, for example through online searching using keywords for skills and industry sectors, sending over candidate details with the goal of obtaining recruitment instructions and securing interviews.
- Speculatively approach organisations that are not currently recruiting but are likely to have suitable vacancies in the future that match the typical skillsets of our candidates.
- Maintain a follow-up database of active and prospective clients and take ownership of industry sectors or geographical areas, in consultation with colleagues, to avoid duplication and maximise reach.
- Visit employers to explain our services, answer questions around protocols for interviewing or hiring ex-offenders and gain a clear understanding of the workplace environment, travel routes and employer requirements.
- Select and submit candidates who you consider suitable for vacancies, advocating for each individual based on your knowledge of them, their references, and the positive changes and efforts you have witnessed.
- Be prepared to positively challenge employer assumptions where you believe reluctance to consider a candidate is unfounded.
- Disclose the candidate’s offending history and risk profile, emphasising their personal attributes and work strengths.
- Guide employers through the interview and hiring process in close consultation with the candidate.
2. Job Finder Support
Interviewing ex-offenders, offering one-to-one job coaching to help them into work and providing ongoing mentoring during their first 12 months of employment.
Ours is a face-to-face, holistic and wraparound service that culminates in our candidates finding good jobs that last, with a wide array of socially inclusive employers. Our job finder support can begin in custody and continue through the gate into the community, or start within the community. Typically, we work with an individual for between one and three months to establish work readiness and continue supporting them for up to a year after they secure employment. Many people remain in touch and return to us for subsequent jobs over a period of years, and we consider our door to always be open.
You will:
- Conduct one-to-one assessments with job-seeking candidates and, using your professional judgement, either accept them directly into our paid-work search services or refer them to partner organisations for pre-employability support where barriers such as substance misuse or homelessness remain significant.
- Work with candidates over several weeks and months as a job mentor, meeting regularly to support all aspects of their job search.
- Help craft effective CVs and disclosure letters, ensuring candidates understand the facts and disclosure obligations relating to their spent and unspent convictions.
- Check that candidates have the correct Right to Work documentation and arrange replacement birth certificates and National Insurance letters where required.
- Book candidates onto relevant third-party training courses, including CSCS cards, HGV driver training and renewable energy qualifications.
- Encourage candidates’ own job search activity, including teaching them how to use online job boards and supporting them to complete online application forms.
- Submit candidates for opportunities available through our network of inclusive employers and proactively seek additional vacancies on their behalf.
- Organise interviews, ensuring candidates have the means to travel and appropriate interview clothing, providing support where required.
- Follow up after interviews, helping candidates manage expectations, process outcomes and rebuild confidence where applications have been unsuccessful.
- Confirm job starts with both candidate and employer, ensuring candidates have access to any required workwear and support with travel-to-work costs.
- Provide practical support where needed, including food parcels, hygiene packs, pre-loaded SIM cards, clothing and utility top-ups.
In-Work Support
After employment begins, there can often be unforeseen challenges facing newly employed candidates, particularly recent prison leavers. These may be practical, emotional or lifestyle-related. The strongest opportunity to advocate for a candidate and help sustain employment comes from having built trusted relationships with both the individual and their employer.
You will:
- Advise employers on successfully onboarding new employees during their first few weeks and months in work.
- Help employers understand and accommodate any additional support needs, such as housing transitions, medical requirements or probation appointments.
- Be aware of and navigate any negative Google or media reporting about a candidate’s previous offending, including advising on measures to protect privacy and reputation where appropriate.
- Remain in regular contact with candidates during their first 12 months in employment through check-in calls and meetings.
- Record all candidate and employer interactions and outcome reporting on the Itris recruitment CRM database.
3. Management of the Preston Team (Within Six Months)
You will:
- Line manage and develop the Preston office’s Recruitment Consultants, Trainee Recruitment Consultants and Resourcer, leading by example across business development and candidate support activities.
- Run the Preston office efficiently and effectively, ensuring the charity can carry out its work and, alongside the Operations Director, help develop, agree and implement business, operational and annual plans.
- Identify appropriate methods for monitoring office performance and report regularly to the Operations Director on performance against business, operational and annual plans and budget expectations.
- Ensure the office is aware of best practice and consistently works to achieve this within the constraints set by the Trustees and available resources.
- Facilitate regular group clinical supervision sessions for yourself and all team members.
4. External and Internal Relations
You will:
- Maintain and extend a network of referral partners who can direct candidates to us for job finder support, including charities, Jobcentres, probation services and police teams.
- Cultivate these relationships through regular visits, communication and updates.
- Assist in developing the charity’s local public profile and foster positive relationships with government, statutory, voluntary, private sector and other external stakeholders.
- Monitor changes in the external environment that may affect the charity, proactively advising the Operations Director and taking appropriate action where necessary.
This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks and may be amended from time to time in line with the needs of the charity.

About Impetus
At Impetus, our focus is on helping young people achieve positive education and employment outcomes to increase their chance of leading fulfilling and successful lives, irrespective of their background.
We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:

- Stagnation in education attainment outcomes, which means many are missing out on key qualifications like GCSE English and maths
- The large numbers of young people out of education, training and employment
We use our deep expertise and high calibre networks to give the best non-profits working in these sectors the essential ingredients to have a real and lasting impact on the young people they serve.
Through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change, we work towards a society where all young people can thrive in school, pass their exams and unlock the doors to sustained employment, for a fulfilling life.
We are resolutely focused on outcomes and impact, driven by quality evidence.

Mission
We do this by providing practical employment support, linking them to companies with good jobs

Key Responsibilities
1. Carry out telephone registrations and first screening interviews with all new candidates, to identify initial motivation, suitability and matching for The Recruitment Junction’s services, and its job opportunities
- The central role of a Recruitment Resourcer is to find and qualify candidates for each of the roles the Recruitment Consultants are trying to fill.
- This covers the full recruitment process, so Resourcers typically spend their days responding to incoming applications, placing job adverts to attract candidates, and conducting searches on the company database to find candidates with relevant skills.
- Call candidates to discuss their experience and identify whether they will be a good fit for the services and available roles.
- Most of these tasks will be carried out on the phone, although there will be times where Resourcers meet face-to-face with employer-clients or candidates to discuss their roles.
- All candidates have a criminal record and for many this can feel like an almost insurmountable barrier to gaining or returning to work; self-confidence can be low and there is often a lot of regret or shame.
- The role of the Resourcer requires an approach which is empathetic and sensitive, speaking hope into people’s situations and conveying the sincere belief that each person has the ability to find purposeful and fulfilling work, regardless of their past.
2. Manage the process of candidate data collection and outcomes reporting, to allow The Recruitment Junction to satisfy the reporting requirements of its funders and commissioners
- Record candidate information on the internal CRM database (as well as any other proprietary databases as required by funders or commissioners), ensuring that all registration forms, data privacy consent and other necessary candidate documentation are properly completed and filed.
- Carry out ID and Right to Work checks on new candidates, ensuring results are properly recorded.
- Work with the team to ensure that regular internal reporting on outcomes takes place in a way that is accurate and timely and helps the charity to learn and adapt its programmes as needed.

Under the direction of the Manager, carry out general administrative duties as required, including but not limited to:
- First point of contact by phone and email for all candidates and external referral partners.
- Greeting visitors and offering teas and coffees.
- Maintaining a stock of all office supplies, including replenishing the in-house food bank.
- Supporting the team in any way required, including checking and answering phones and emails in their absence, helping to draft CVs, booking people onto training courses, ordering ID documents and shopping for interview outfits with candidates.
- Collating information required for grant applications and contract bids/tenders.
- Assisting with fundraising activities, including maintaining the donor database.
- Financial record-keeping and data entry.
- Participating in at least one fundraising or crowd-funder event per year and, on an ongoing basis, seeking to build up the charity’s donor base through soliciting monthly and one-off donations from across your friendship, business and church networks.

We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Head of Finance to join YMCA South Midlands at an exciting stage of our growth.
This isn’t a role where Finance sits on the sidelines reporting what happened last month. You’ll help us make better decisions, challenge our thinking and ensure our ambitions are backed by strong financial insight, robust governance and a clear understanding of risk.
You’ll work closely with our CEO in a high-support, high-challenge relationship and be a key financial partner to our Finance Committee and Board of Trustees. You’ll have autonomy, access to key decisions and the opportunity to genuinely influence the future direction of the organisation.
We want someone who will own the numbers, understand what’s driving them and have the confidence to ask the questions others might not. Just as importantly, you’ll be able to communicate the financial position clearly and credibly, giving our CEO, leadership team and trustees confidence in the information they receive and the decisions they make.
The opportunity
We’re an ambitious organisation with plans to continue growing our impact, income and reach.
Alongside leading our Finance function, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in some genuinely interesting work, from strengthening our commercial and trading performance to assessing new opportunities, property acquisitions and potential M&A activity.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring the financial fundamentals are strong, but we’re looking for much more than technical excellence.
We want someone who can look forward. Someone who can spot a risk before it becomes a problem, see an opportunity in the numbers, scrutinise a business case and help us make well-informed decisions about where we invest, where we grow and where we need to exercise caution.
A key part of the role will also be building a strong and trusted relationship with our Head of Income Generation, Finance Committee and wider Board. You’ll ensure trustees have timely, accurate and meaningful financial information, understand the implications behind the numbers and have confidence in the organisation’s financial management, controls and planning.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead our Finance function and take ownership of:
- Budgeting, forecasting and longer-term financial planning
- Management accounts, cash flow and financial reporting
- Commercial and trading performance
- Financial modelling and scenario planning
- Financial controls, compliance, audit and statutory reporting
- Supporting property purchases, investment decisions and potential M&A opportunities
- Developing and leading our Finance team
Just as importantly, you’ll partner with leaders across the organisation, helping them understand and take ownership of their financial performance.
You won’t simply highlight a problem. We’ll want you to help us understand why it is happening, what our options are and what we should do next.
About you
We value expertise, curiosity, ideas and healthy debate. You’ll be a Head of Finance who brings professional judgement to the table, challenges assumptions when necessary and is prepared to offer a different perspective.
You’ll also understand that excellent financial leadership is about trust and communication as much as technical competence. You’ll be comfortable working with trustees and senior stakeholders, able to explain complex financial matters without jargon and confident answering challenging questions.
If you like being given a narrow brief and simply delivering what’s asked, this probably isn’t the role for you. But if you enjoy autonomy, pace, solving problems, challenging thinking, building trusted relationships and making things happen, you will thrive here.
You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with strong financial leadership experience and excellent commercial judgement.
You’ll be someone who:
- Is curious about the story behind the numbers
- Builds trust and credibility with key stakeholders including Board Members
- Enjoys working in a growing, changing organisation
- Is confident challenging and influencing senior leaders
- Can turn complex financial information into clear recommendations
- Thinks commercially while maintaining strong financial discipline
- Brings solutions rather than simply identifying problems
- Enjoys taking ownership and being accountable
- Builds strong relationships without shying away from difficult conversations
- Can move comfortably between the strategic picture and the detail
- Wants to make a difference
Experience of property investment, M&A, due diligence, commercial operations or a high-growth environment would be particularly valuable.
Charity-sector experience is welcome, butit isn’t essential. We’re more interested in finding someone with the right financial expertise, commercial mindset and appetite to help us grow.
Why Join YMCA South Midlands?
Because this is an opportunity to use your financial expertise for something that matters.
You’ll join an ambitious organisation where Finance has a genuine voice, where good ideas are welcomed and where you’ll be trusted to make an impact.
As well as joining a supportive and collaborative team, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Make a genuine difference in a purpose-driven organisation
- Work in a varied finance role with plenty of responsibility
- Help improve systems and processes
- Develop your finance skills within a supportive environment
- Work flexibly around a part-time schedule
Everyone is Welcome Here
At YMCA South Midlands, we believe everyone should feel they belong.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and communities. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the people we serve and where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
As a Christian charity, our faith inspires our values and our commitment to serving others. We welcome people of all faiths and none, and appointments are made on merit.

Commercial acumen is key. You’ll manage budgets, monitor financial performance, refine pricing strategies, and ensure strong cost control. You’ll also oversee stock management, purchasing, and cash handling, ensuring compliance with SU financial procedures. Your ability to interpret data—tracking conversion metrics from web clicks to confirmed bookings—will help maximise the venue’s commercial potential.
Collaboration is central to this role. You’ll work with the Marketing & Communications team to deliver compelling campaigns, build relationships with local businesses and community partners, and champion The Engine Shed’s sustainability credentials. You’ll also work closely with University Estates, Campus Services, elected officers, and SU leadership to ensure the venue continues to evolve in line with student needs and organisational strategy.
