• Experience overseeing communications, events, volunteering, supporter engagement or related activities

Benefits include

• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Excellent pension scheme
• Hybrid working (with a minimum of 50% of time spent on campus)

Role: Director of Operations & Strategy
Hours of work: 35hrs per week – Monday to Friday
Salary: Starting from £60,000
Location: Hybrid — London/South East with regular travel to the London Office and Hub locations
Contract type: Fixed term contract ending 30th September 2028

How to apply

Deadline for applications: 12pm Tuesday 1st September 2026
Interviews: First stage interviews offered online on 7th September 2026 with second stage in-person interviews on 14th September 2026, please ensure availability on both dates.
Start date: Must be available to start by November 2026

Please answer the following questions on a separate Word document and submit alongside your CV.

1. This is not a conventional Director of Operations role. Alongside leading operations, you’ll help shape the culture, systems and ways of working of a new organisation. What attracts you to this opportunity, and what experience has best prepared you to build an organisation rather than simply manage one? (250 words)

2. Power to Prosper believes organisations cannot address racial inequity simply through good intentions; they must deliberately design their systems, culture and decision-making differently. Tell us about a time when your understanding of structural racism influenced the way you built or changed an organisational system, policy or way of working. What changed as a result? (250 words)

Please also complete the equality and diversity monitoring form.

Inclusivity at Power to Prosper and NEFC
Power to Prosper and NEFC wants to be an inclusive workplace with a diverse body of staff. We don’t want to conform to the traditional think-tank model where people from certain backgrounds are hugely under-represented. We know we have some way to go in this and are therefore genuinely keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; women; neurodivergent people; disabled people; people who identify as LGBT+; people with experience of mental health problems; and people who identify as working class or have done so in the past.

Accessibility and Equal Opportunity
We value all candidates and are committed to equal opportunity. As a Disability Confident employer, we guarantee an interview to all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role. If you require any reasonable adjustments to support you during the application process, or would like information in an alternative format, please let us know.

We actively promote positive action to advance fairness and tackle underrepresentation within our workforce.

About the role:

Every young person deserves more than a roof over their head. They deserve a place where they feel safe, seen and able to imagine a future for themselves.

We are looking for two Deputy Team Managers to join our Ofsted Registered Young Person’s Accommodation Services, with one opportunity in Camden and one in Greenwich. Working alongside the Service Manager, you will help turn our accommodation into places where young people aged 16 and over - including care leavers and young people facing multiple disadvantage - can build trust, discover their strengths and take meaningful steps towards adulthood and independence.

You will be a visible, energising presence in the service, giving staff the guidance, confidence and space they need to deliver exceptional support. From coaching colleagues and strengthening support and safety plans to responding to safeguarding concerns, missing episodes and periods of disengagement, you will help the team remain curious, persistent and ambitious for every young person. You will also make sure preparation for the future starts from day one, creating opportunities for young people to develop practical life skills, reconnect with education or employment and move towards a home of their own.

You will build strong relationships with local authorities and partner agencies, maintain high standards across housing management, health and safety and Ofsted compliance, and make sure young people are not simply consulted but genuinely heard. Their experiences, ideas and ambitions should shape the support they receive and the way the service grows.

This is an opportunity to lead with heart, challenge what could be better and see the difference your leadership makes in young people’s everyday lives. Through reflective practice, ongoing learning and development and hands on management experience, you will continue growing as a leader, with opportunities to progress across Single Homeless Project's (SHP) Young Person’s Services and the wider organisation.

About you:

• You believe in young people’s potential and know how to build trust, spark confidence and keep going when progress is not straightforward.
• You have experience supervising or developing staff who support young people, including care leavers and those facing multiple disadvantage.
• You understand Ofsted Registered accommodation and can help colleagues turn safeguarding, trauma-informed practice and professional curiosity into meaningful everyday support.
• You are a calm, encouraging and hands-on leader who gives clear guidance, strengthens practice and helps colleagues grow without taking over.
• You bring resilience, fresh ideas and a genuine appetite to develop, using your creativity to open up opportunities for young people to build skills, independence and hope for the future.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

We are looking for an experienced finance professional to join the Senior Management Team and provide confident financial and organisational leadership. Working closely with the CEO, Treasurer and wider Board, you will lead budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, financial controls, funded-programme finance, risk and the year-end process. You will also provide proportionate leadership across people systems, governance, contracts and organisational operations.

This is a senior role, but it is also genuinely hands-on. 

Alongside this, we are looking for someone who will thrive on helping to lead the operations of a busy, vibrant cultural centre, ensuring that the systems, people, contracts and resources underpinning our programmes, studios, building and events work smoothly, safely and effectively. 

You will provide oversight of health and safety, compliance, organisational risk and business continuity, working closely with the colleagues and external specialists responsible for day-to-day delivery. This is a senior role, but it is also genuinely hands-on.

• Can explain financial information clearly to colleagues and trustees, helping them understand the organisation’s position, risks and options
• Moves comfortably between strategic thinking and detailed delivery
• Brings sound judgement, integrity, curiosity and a collaborative approach
• Cares about Raw’s purpose and the communities we serve; and 
• Enjoys being part of a close-knit team and is happy to roll up their sleeves and get involved in Raw’s gigs, events and wider organisational life.

Direct charity-finance experience would be useful, but it is not essential. We welcome applicants from other sectors who can demonstrate transferable experience of multiple income streams, projects, contracts or cost centres. We are not looking for a particular accountancy qualification; relevant experience, practical expertise and the ability to fulfil the role are what matter.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and especially encourage applications from those who reflect the lived experiences of the South London communities we serve.
