We continue this engagement into the world of work through Alternative Practice, our community of students and young workers, who come together through events and activities, to collaborate with others from across the sector.

Our workspace company, Build Workspace, provides co-working space, support services and events for start-ups and small businesses in the built environment sector.

Are you an experienced operational leader looking for the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing, ambitious and values-led charity?

Project 21 is looking for its first Chief Operating Officer to join us at an exciting point in our development, strengthening the organisation behind our services and helping us achieve even more for people with Down’s Syndrome and their families.

Project 21 is a growing charity providing opportunities, support and experiences for people with Down’s Syndrome across Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Our work includes community-based learning, performing arts, residential trips, employment opportunities and family support, all underpinned by our belief that people with Down’s Syndrome should have every opportunity to belong, believe and achieve.

As Project 21 continues to grow, we are looking for an exceptional Chief Operating Officer (COO) to work alongside our CEO & Founder and provide strategic and operational leadership across the organisation.

This is a newly created role and a genuine opportunity to help shape the next chapter of Project 21.

The COO will lead our day-to-day organisational operations, providing oversight across people, services, finance, systems, governance, compliance and organisational development. You will lead and support our Senior Leadership Team, strengthen systems and processes, develop leadership capability and ensure our growing organisation remains safe, effective, sustainable and true to its values.

Crucially, the role will create greater capacity for our CEO to focus on Project 21’s long-term future, including strategic partnerships, fundraising and our ambitious Big Build vision.

We are looking for someone who combines strong operational and organisational leadership with excellent people skills. You will be comfortable moving between strategy and delivery, developing senior leaders, making decisions, improving systems and bringing clarity to a busy and evolving organisation.

You do not necessarily need to have been a COO before. We are interested in experienced senior leaders who can demonstrate the skills, judgement and leadership capability required to step into an organisation-wide role. Experience within charities, social care, SEND, education or another people-focused organisation would be particularly valuable.

This is an office-based leadership role at our Clubhouse in Suffolk, reflecting the importance we place on visible, accessible leadership and being connected to our members, families and colleagues. The role will also involve travel across Project 21 locations and to external meetings.

What we’re looking for

We’d particularly love to hear from someone who:

• Is an experienced and confident senior leader
• Is an excellent people manager who enjoys developing others
• Can translate strategy into effective operational delivery
• Has experience of organisational growth and change
• Understands good governance, HR, finance, risk and compliance
• Can develop effective systems and improve organisational efficiency
• Is comfortable making decisions and taking accountability
• Can build strong relationships with colleagues, families, trustees and external partners
• Shares our commitment to inclusion and person-centred practice
• Is excited by the opportunity to help build something, rather than simply maintain what already exists

Above all, we are looking for someone who understands that strong operations are ultimately about people. Someone who can bring structure without unnecessary bureaucracy, accountability without losing warmth, and professional leadership while protecting the culture that makes Project 21 special.

Salary: £55,000–£60,000 per annum
Hours: 40 hours per week Mon-Fri, with occasional Saturday on-call hours
Location: Project 21 Clubhouse, Brightwell Barns, Suffolk

If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in the future of an ambitious charity and help us build the organisational foundations for our next stage of growth, we would love to hear from you.

1. Overview :

Amna, meaning safety in Arabic, is a refugee-centred organisation that supports mental health and community-led healing. We equip displaced communities with the tools to heal, build resilience, and restore a sense of belonging. 

Rooted in evidence and lived experience, our global work empowers frontline organisations to deliver trauma- and identity-informed care. Through safe, culturally grounded spaces, we help break cycles of trauma and support long-term recovery. 

Amna is currently undertaking a broader organisational strengthening exercise focused on improving operational resilience, financial sustainability, governance, compliance, and readiness for future growth. This consultancy forms part of that wider organisational development agenda and will inform future decisions on systems, processes, structures and investment priorities. 

2. Objective 

Amna's finance function is now fully resourced, creating the right moment to review and strengthen the organisation's financial systems and processes. This consultancy is commissioned to establish the added value of a review of Amna's finance ecosystem, and to identify practical, costed solutions to support the organisation's next stage of growth. 

The objective of this consultancy is to support Amna in diagnosing its current financial ecosystem, whether its financial systems, processes, controls, reporting structures, governance arrangements and operating model are fit for purpose for its current and anticipated scale. Based on this diagnosis and mapping out relevant, costed solutions for a future finance system upgrade and/or procurement,linking Amna's core business activities and income-generating activities with donor compliance requirements and UK charity compliance obligations and strengthen organisational decision-making, grant management, forecasting and organisational sustainability over the next 3–5 years. 

2. Scope of Work 

The consultancy should not assume that technology is the preferred solution. Recommendations should distinguish between issues that can be addressed through changes in processes, governance, roles and responsibilities, staff capacity or systems, and should prioritise solutions according to value for money, organisational readiness and expected impact 

Diagnosis (Consultant-led) 

• SWOT-style analysis across Finance, SLT, and Programmes 

• Assess organisational reliance on manual processes and identify key operational bottlenecks and map where time, confidence, or control is being lost 

• Review alignment and map data flows across Finance, Programmes, Development, MEL, HR, and Operations. 

• Review how financial information supports and distinguish decision-support needs from compliance/control requirements at management, SLT and board levels. 

• Finalise objectives, success indicators, and non-negotiables for procurement 

Solutions Mapping (Consultant-led) 

• Recommend an appropriate future-state finance operating model based on different organisational growth scenarios including roadmap and costing model for finance system upgrade. Identify opportunities for automation, integration and systemisation across finance, procurement, grant management and reporting processes. 

• 3-year Financial Systems Improvement Roadmap, aligned with the Operations Systems Roadmap and assess resource implications (people, systems, skills and governance) of each proposed solution. Where relevant, this should address visibility into specific finance workflows such as grants tracking/pipeline and contract management for outsourced finance services. 

• Risk matrix and pros/cons per proposed solution and recommend governance and control improvements required to support future growth. 

• Prioritisation against agreed criteria (relevance, cost, efficiency, effectiveness) as a timeline-bound plan 

• Provide revised Organizational wide financial health KPIs for the next 3–5 years, with calculations, methods of measurement and reporting frequency.

•  Propose practical, light-touch recommendations to reduce friction in procurement-related steps that touch finance (e.g. purchase requests, approvals) proportionate to effort and scoped as an input to the finance ecosystem, not a full procurement redesign 

 Present distinct solution categories (e.g. low/moderate/significant investment options), each with an indicative cost range, so Amna can decide what fits best. To be finalised only once diagnosis is complete. 

 3. Deliverables

• Finance ecosystem maturity assessment including (strengths, weaknesses, critical gaps/bottlenecks, benchmark against comparable organizations). A diagnostic report validating and finalising the objectives, success indicators, and non-negotiables (Max 15 pages) . 

• A data flow map across Finance, Programmes, Development, MEL, HR, and Operations. 

• A 3-year Financial Systems Improvement Roadmap, including future state operating model options (i.e maintain current scale, moderate growth, significant growth) and suggest required resources/systems/risks/costs per scenario.

Scenario-based, costed solution options, each with a pros/cons analysis. 

• Identify where technology or automation can simplify existing finance processes and reduce manual effort. 

• Proposed finance KPIs for the next 3–5 years, with supporting calculations. 

• A final report and presentation to the Senior Leadership Team and Board (via the Treasurer). 

4. Roles and Responsibilities 

• Operations, Risks and Security Director: Overall accountability for the consultancy, sign-off on deliverables, and escalation to SLT/Board. 

• Head of Finance, Risk & Compliance: Owns the finance/compliance stream and is the consultant's main technical counterpart, reviewing and approving draft deliverables before they reach the Director of Operations. 

• Finance Manager: Provides operational implementation support, including access to data, documentation, and day-to-day coordination with the consultant. 

The consultant is expected to engage with representatives from other departments programmes, MEL, fundraising and Organisation development, leadership and the board members mainly treasurer as required.  

5. Payment Terms 

Payment will be linked to the completion and sign-off of agreed deliverables (Diagnostic report., Draft options paper, Final roadmap and presentation)/milestones rather than paid as a single lump sum. The exact fee structure, total budget, currency, and payment schedule will be confirmed with the appointed consultant and set out in the resulting contract. 

6. Contract length

The contract shall be effective from September 2026 and shall continue until delivery of the final report and presentation, expected in October–November 2026, unless terminated or extended earlier by mutual written agreement of both parties. 

7. Quality Assurance 

• All draft deliverables will be reviewed by the Head of Finance, Risk  & Compliance prior to circulation. 

• Final sign-off rests with the Director of Operations, following consultation with the Senior Leadership Team and Board (via the Treasurer). 

• Regular check-in meetings will be held between the consultant and the finance/compliance stream led to track progress against the agreed timeline and deliverables.

Job Purpose

Sequence ME & Long Covid is one of the most ambitious whole-genome sequencing studies ever undertaken into ME and Long Covid, co-led by Action for ME. Building on the success of DecodeME, this proposed £20 million study will use large-scale, long-read whole-genome sequencing to analyse the entire genetic code of 9,000 people with ME and 9,000 people with Long Covid - making it the world's largest 'long-read' whole-genome sequencing study of any disease.

Current funding supports project mobilisation, partnership development, and the development of the Long Covid arm of the study, including agreeing case definitions and gathering expressions of interest from people with Long Covid. Phase 2 has recently been confirmed, backed by £4.75m from the UK government and a further £174,414 from the WE&ME Foundation, and will focus on sequencing 6,000 ME/CFS samples previously collected through DecodeME using Oxford Nanopore's long-read sequencing technology, running alongside Phase 1.

You will play a pivotal role supporting the Sequence ME & Long Covid project in several different ways. Working closely with the project's management team and other team members, you will help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of this landmark study, providing administrative support to the various people and partners involved in delivering it.

As a self-starter, you will manage a range of tasks including meeting scheduling, taking meeting minutes, preparing governance documents, event administration, and broader project support - no two days will be the same.

You will need to maintain a high level of confidentiality at all times, particularly when supporting governance meetings and handling sensitive project documentation.

As a team player, you will provide comprehensive, confidential and organised administrative support, developing a deep understanding of the project and building strong, effective working relationships with colleagues, researchers and external partners.

Remote working at home can be challenging for some and works incredibly well for others. You will need to be able to work independently, use your own initiative, and remain proactive in maintaining good levels of communication with colleagues.

Key Duties

• Help monitor inboxes and respond to routine project enquiries in a timely and sensitive manner, escalating more complex matters as appropriate
• Assist the project's management team and other team members with meeting scheduling and diary coordination
• Take accurate minutes at project, management and other project-related meetings, and follow up and track resulting actions to completion
• Prepare, format and proof-read governance documents and papers
• Maintain and update project databases including the Teams channel, ensuring documents are saved correctly, other management information/recording systems to ensure accurate and timely record-keeping. Help with the tracking of expressions of interest from potential study participants.
• Provide administrative support for project events - from planning and logistics through to on-the-day support
• Help prepare presentations, slide decks and briefing materials for internal meetings, funders, partners and participant-facing communications
• Support the drafting, formatting and coordination of project communications, such as updates for partners, funders or the wider ME and Long Covid community
• Support coordination between internal teams and external partners, including research and funding partners
• Maintain project files and documentation in line with agreed communication operating procedures with internal and external partners ensuring information is well organised, up to date and easy for the team to access
• Maintain confidentiality at all times and in line with relevant policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with GDPR and that all data consent processes have been followed in relation to data protection
• Positively promote the work of the Sequence ME & Long Covid project and Action for ME at all times
• Undertake any other reasonable activity in line with the responsibilities of the post, as requested by the CEO, Business Development & Partnerships Manager, Senior Research Manager or the project's Management Team

 

Person Specification

• Organisational skills - Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks across a fast-moving research project, with attention to detail and accuracy maintained under pressure
• Communication - Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with diverse audiences including researchers, funders and people affected by ME and Long Covid
• IT literacy - Proficient with common office software, including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint), and able to quickly learn relevant project management, database or communications systems as needed
• Problem-solving - A creative and solution-focused mindset to address challenges and find innovative ways to improve processes
• Adaptability - Capable of managing changing priorities, working flexibly, and adapting to the needs of a fast-paced, ambitious research programme
