Reports to: Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFOO)

Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: £50,400 - £57,000, depending on experience

Location: Office based - London, Old Street (EC1Y)

The Opportunity:

This is a dual-remit role combining ownership of our office environment with high quality support to our Core group.  The Core group is the c.40-person team that brings together the firm’s central support services

The successful candidate will be the person who keeps our single-floor, c.60-desk open plan office running smoothly day-to-day, and who provides reliable ‘EA-type’ support to the CFOO and the heads of the Core group’s sub-teams.  The role is fundamentally service-orientated: you will be the first person colleagues and visitors turn to, and your standards will set the tone for how the Core group serves the organisation.

This is a varied, high-trust role for someone who wants to be the person that makes things work and who has a desire to provide service that delights. It is a fully on-site role based at our Old Street office, five days a week – and that’s by design. As the person responsible for our workplace experience, your presence is what makes the difference. You’ll build relationships across every team, respond to needs in real time, and take genuine ownership of an environment that our team relies on each day.

• Manage relationships with our sub-lease tenants.

• Manage department budget in line with our Responsible Procurement Policy, carrying out annual budgeting and reforecasting in collaboration with Finance team.

• Oversee office supplies, stationery, kitchen consumables, print and postage, maintaining appropriate stock levels.

• Manage front-of-house: greet visitors, handle deliveries and couriers, and ensure meeting rooms are prepared, tidy and appropriately equipped.

• Support onboarding for new joiners, coordinating with People & Talent, IT and the relevant hiring manager to ensure a smooth first-day experience.

• Manage ad hoc desk bookings for staff and room lends to our sector partners.

• Appointed Health and Safety Officer, coordinating health & safety compliance for the office, including fire safety, evacuation plans, first aid, DSE assessments and relevant risk assessments, working with the People & Talent team as required.

• Support internal events and client hospitality held in the office, from set-up through to catering and clear away.

• Identify and deliver practical improvements to the office environment, employee experience and operational efficiency.

Support to the Core Group

• Provide high-quality ‘EA-type’ support to the CFOO, including diary management, meeting coordination and project support as required.

• Provide proportionate similar support to the senior leaders of the Core group sub-teams (Finance, IT, Legal & Compliance, Middle Office, Transformation), prioritising the activities where your involvement adds the most value.

• Coordinate recurring all-Core Group meetings, working closely with the CFOO and sub-team leaders.

• Organise internal and external meetings on behalf of the group as required, including booking rooms, arranging hospitality and liaising with external parties.

• Prepare and format documents, presentations and correspondence to a high standard, often involving sensitive or confidential material.

• Help plan and run Core Group events, offsites and social activities that bring the team together.

• Act as a discreet, trusted point of contact, handling confidential information with complete professionalism.

Other Support

• Working collegiately within the BSC Support Network team, providing support during busy periods and annual leave and collectively ensuring support needs across the organisation are met.

Desirable

We're looking for a brilliant Office Manager who is highly organised, tech savvy, friendly and, above all, someone with very high standards who gets things done. You'll take real pride in making sure our offices and shared spaces are immaculately presented, professional, welcoming and running brilliantly at all times.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your day waiting for tasks to land in your inbox. We need someone proactive who notices what needs attention, finds solutions and makes things happen.

You'll build strong relationships across the organisation and with our external suppliers, making sure things are delivered on time, to a high standard and with good value for money.

About the Role

You'll take responsibility for the smooth day-to-day running of our office operations and help ensure colleagues have the environment, equipment, systems and support they need to do their jobs brilliantly.

You'll oversee office operations across our Milton Keynes and Northampton sites and act as a central point of coordination for facilities, IT support, suppliers, equipment, reception and general office administration. 

This is a busy, hands-on role at the heart of YMCA South Midlands. You'll be the person who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes: making sure our offices are organised, our systems work, our staff & visitors have what they need and problems are dealt with quickly and effectively.

No two days will be the same. One minute you might be sorting an IT issue or organising equipment for a new starter, the next you'll be coordinating a contractor, improving an office process, supporting a staff event or making sure our reception and shared spaces are running brilliantly.

We're looking for someone who loves being organised, enjoys working at pace and doesn't need to be chased. You'll naturally spot what needs doing, take ownership and follow things through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

You'll play a key role in keeping YMCA South Midlands organised, efficient and running smoothly, including:

• Overseeing the day-to-day running of our offices, ensuring they are organised, professional, welcoming and operating efficiently.
• Making sure colleagues have the equipment, workspace and resources they need to do their jobs effectively.
• Managing office equipment, IT equipment, phones, printers, stationery, furniture and other supplies.
• Maintaining accurate equipment and asset records and ensuring equipment is properly allocated and accounted for.
• Acting as the main point of contact for our external IT support provider, coordinating requests, chasing outstanding issues and escalating problems when necessary.
• Managing relationships with suppliers and contractors and making sure we receive a high-quality service and good value for money.
• Keeping on top of contracts, renewal dates, insurance administration and other important office deadlines.
• Supporting new starters by making sure their equipment, workspace and induction arrangements are ready for their first day.
• Coordinating DSE assessments and arranging appropriate equipment where required.
• Supporting Health & Safety arrangements, including Fire Marshals, First Aiders, testing, training and the Health & Safety Committee.
• Managing and maintaining our Business Continuity Plan and supporting GDPR and information security requirements.

About You

You'll be someone who genuinely loves organisation and takes pride in making things work well.

You're probably the person who notices when something isn't working and fixes it rather than walking past it. You keep track of the detail, remember deadlines, chase things when needed and don't leave jobs half finished.

You'll be comfortable juggling lots of different priorities and switching quickly between tasks without losing sight of what needs to happen.

You'll be tech savvy and confident learning new systems. You don't need to be an IT expert, but you'll be comfortable troubleshooting straightforward problems, working with external IT support and finding better ways to use technology to make our lives easier.

Just as importantly, you'll be friendly, approachable and warm. You'll deal with colleagues, residents, visitors, contractors and partners, so we want someone who enjoys building relationships and providing brilliant service.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Exceptionally organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Proactive and able to anticipate what needs doing rather than waiting to be asked.
• Someone who takes ownership and gets things done.
• Comfortable working at pace and managing competing priorities.
• Tech savvy and confident using Microsoft Office and learning new systems.
• A natural problem-solver who looks for solutions.
• Reliable and great at following things through to completion.
• Friendly, warm and approachable.
• Confident dealing with suppliers and external contractors.
• A clear and confident communicator.
• Able to work independently without needing close supervision
• Always looking for ways to make systems and processes simpler and better.

You'll ideally have previous experience as an Office Manager, Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, PA, senior administrator or in another role where you've been responsible for keeping a busy organisation running effectively. This reflects the experience requirements in the existing JD. 

Experience of managing a reception function, facilities, suppliers, IT support or Health & Safety would be an advantage, but we're particularly interested in how you work: your organisation, pace, initiative, judgement and ability to make things happen.

Why Join Us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to become a central part of a busy, purpose-driven organisation.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Make a visible difference to how our organisation operates every day.
• Create a brilliant working environment for our colleagues.
• Improve systems and introduce smarter ways of working.
• Work with people across the whole organisation.
• Take genuine ownership of your area rather than simply completing a list of tasks.
• Join a friendly, supportive team where your ideas and initiative will be welcomed.
• Work for an organisation making a meaningful difference to young people and communities.

Finance / Office Manager - Cardiff - £36,000 - £45,000 DOE

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales help 500–600 people a year rebuild their lives after acquired brain injury (ABI). As demand grows, they're looking for a Finance / Office Managerr to take charge of the back office — finance, payroll and systems — so their small senior team can spend more time where it matters most.

This isn't a desk-bound manager's post. It's a hands-on role at the centre of a small, agile charity. You'll own the budget, run payroll, keep the numbers straight, and become the third senior decision-maker who can hold things together when it counts. You'll report directly to the CEO and line-manage two administrators.

You don't need a charity background, and you don't need to be a qualified accountant. What matters is genuine confidence with financial detail, the ability to pick up new systems fast, and the judgement to take real responsibility.

Full details of the role, what to expect from the process, and how to apply are in our candidate brief:
