Organisational lead jobs in Buckhurst hill, essex

About the role:

People arrive at the hub straight from the streets, often after being knocked back, overlooked or stuck for a long time. This role is about what happens next. As Hub Team Manager, you’ll lead a service that doesn’t let people drift. You’ll make sure the moment someone comes through the door, things start moving.

You’ll be in the middle of it all - guiding a multidisciplinary team, linking in with outreach, pulling partners together and cutting through the noise that keeps people stuck. This isn’t about managing from a distance. You’ll stay close to the work, keeping momentum in complex situations and making sure support lands in a way that actually shifts things for people experiencing multiple disadvantage.

The hub needs to feel calm, safe and purposeful, even on the busiest days. You’ll shape that. Using psychologically informed, trauma-informed and gender-informed practice, you’ll create an environment where people are met with consistency and respect, and where services work together to move people towards safety and stability. No waiting around, no dead ends just clear, coordinated next steps.

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), this is also a role where you’ll grow. You’ll be part of a service that’s central to a borough-wide response, working alongside experienced leaders and partners, with real scope to develop your leadership, influence system change and progress your career within a values-led organisation that backs its people.

About you:

• You’ve worked with people experiencing multiple disadvantage and know how to help them move forward
• You lead from the front — visible, hands-on and confident in complex, high-risk situations
• You bring people together and make things happen, cutting through barriers and slow systems
• You use psychologically informed and trauma-informed approaches in a real, practical way
• You stay calm, organised and focused when things get busy, keeping the service moving

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.

Leukaemia UK – Our Charity

We are a ‘small but mighty’ charity with one big ambition: to stop leukaemia devastating lives. Despite decades of incredible progress, only half of leukaemia patients live longer than five years after their diagnosis. We won't stop until we change this. 

We accelerate progress through the life-changing research, awareness and advocacy that matter most to people affected by leukaemia, doing everything we can to make sure that the next person with leukaemia has the best possible experience of diagnosis, treatment and care. 

We are looking for a Finance Manager to join our Finance & Resources team playing a key role as part of an exciting transition from a historically outsourced finance model to a strengthened, in‑house finance function as we prepare to deliver our new five‑year strategy. This role will have exposure to an exciting mix of management accounting, business partnering, financial analysis and process improvement whilst ensuring the organisation’s core financial delivery.

Team

We are a close-knit team, who are all passionate about Leukaemia UK and putting those affected by the disease at the heart of everything we do. We are all focused on ‘keeping it real’ with pragmatic, practical solutions, as well as ensuring that our charity gets the funding it needs to continue to help those diagnosed with leukaemia and other blood cancers.

As a small organisation with just over 30 employees, every role counts. We have ambitious plans and we rely on individuals being self-starters, resilient and working at pace to maximise our collective impact. We may not be about the corporate life here, but we are all about delivering exceptional expertise and making a real change to people’s lives.

The role has been created to strengthen internal finance capability and resilience as the organisation prepares to deliver its newly approved five‑year strategy from 2027.

You will play a leading, hands‑on role in running the organisation’s core finance operations, ensuring robust financial control, accurate reporting and effective support to teams across the organisation. Working closely with the Director of Finance & Resources, you will take ownership of core finance processes providing operational leadership, internal business partnering and process discipline.

As part of a small central team, you will work alongside the Director of Finance & Resources and the Finance Officer, and partner closely with colleagues across the organisation. You will provide practical financial guidance, help teams understand and manage their budgets, and act as a trusted internal finance partner, as well as ensuring the smooth running of day‑to‑day finance processes.

This role is particularly suited to someone who enjoys being hands‑on, combining operational delivery with continuous improvement. You will have the opportunity to help shape and embed new ways of working, improve processes and systems, and build a finance function that is fit to support an ambitious and growing charity.

In return, you will gain exposure to a broad range of organisational activity, work closely with senior leaders and teams, and play a key role in supporting Leukaemia UK’s next phase of strategic development.

Family Action & the Role’s Impact:

At Family Action, we support people through change, challenge or crisis. It’s what we’ve done for over 150 years. We protect children, support young people and adults and offer direct, practical help to families and communities.

The ability to think strategically while also delivering operationally, alongside strong influencing and coaching skills will make you an ideal candidate. 

We are a supportive and inclusive organisation, and we want to break down barriers to people joining us. If you don’t feel confident applying because you don’t meet every single requirement on the Person Specification – please don’t let that stop you; we want to hear from you.

At Family Action our 4 core values are incredibly important to us and underpin all we do.

You will bring a strong track record in corporate fundraising or partnerships, alongside a solutions-focused mindset and the confidence to translate sector best practice into tangible results. And you’ll be passionate about creating partnerships that deliver real social impact.
