Location - Hybrid (based at home or local community) with regular travel in the South of England 

Are you a communications professional looking for an exciting and rewarding new role? Emmaus UK is recruiting for a Regional Communications Officer to help support people on their journey out of homelessness.

About Emmaus

Emmaus (pronounced em-may-us) is a movement of charities that empowers people to overcome homelessness. We provide a stable home and tailored, life-changing support for people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. By focusing on each person’s strengths, we help people rebuild their lives and work towards the future they want to create.

As part of a nationwide network of Emmaus charities, we provide skills, training and work experience to help people achieve their goals and regain independence.

Together, we are ending homelessness one person at a time.

About the role

The Regional Communications Officer role is an exciting and varied opportunity to work with Emmaus communities across the South of the UK, helping to raise their profile and engage supporters.

You will work closely with up to four Emmaus communities to identify their communications needs and deliver a mix of activity to help them achieve their goals. As part of a wider team, you will also share ideas and build on each other’s experience to maximise PR, digital and communications opportunities.

This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility to work from home or from within an Emmaus community.

Building and maintaining strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders will be key to this role. Regular travel to your allocated communities is essential, typically at least once a week, so we are looking for someone based in or around London. You will also attend quarterly team meetings, usually held in Birmingham, although these may occasionally take place elsewhere in the UK and may require an overnight stay.

This is a part-time role, Monday to Friday, with a minimum of 22.5 hours a week (three days) and the potential for the role to be four days a week (30 hours), to be confirmed at interview.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with a strong communications skillset and at least two years’ experience in a busy communications, public relations or marketing role. While not essential, knowledge of homelessness and the charity sector would be an advantage.

Creativity and passion are essential. You will have a broad range of communications skills, enjoy seeing your ideas come to life and be keen to continue developing your experience within a national homelessness charity.

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys working with different people and communities. The successful candidate will be organised, adaptable and able to manage multiple projects, relationships and campaigns.

If you are passionate about making a difference and creating long-lasting impact, this is the perfect time to join Emmaus UK.
 

What we offer

· Salary: £18,696 (3 days)/£24,928 (4 days)

· Working hours: Part-time minimum of 22.5 hours a week (three days), and the potential for the role to be four days a week (30 hours)

Magic Breakfast exists to ensure that no child is too hungry to learn. Every school day, we provide nutritious breakfasts to over 300,000 children and young people across England and Scotland, working with schools in areas of greatest disadvantage.
With 2.7 million children at risk of hunger in the UK, too many arrive at school without the fuel they need to concentrate, engage and succeed. Our work removes hunger as a barrier to learning — quietly, respectfully and without stigma.
We are now entering an exciting new phase as we launch Nourishing Futures, our long-term strategy to grow our impact, respond to changing policy and funding landscapes, and reimagine breakfast spaces as places where children can truly thrive.
To help deliver this strategy, we’re seeking an analytical and collaborative Management Accountant to strengthen our financial insight, planning and decision-making capability.

• Work closely with the Financial Accountant to ensure alignment between management and statutory reporting

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Planning

• Lead the annual budgeting process end-to-end, including timetables, assumptions, templates and consolidation
• Coordinate in-year reforecasting, ensuring forecasts reflect up-to-date operational intelligence
• Support budget holders to translate operational plans into realistic financial forecasts
• Contribute to the development of financial and non-financial KPIs
• Proactively identify risks, opportunities and cost-saving initiatives

Funding & Commercial Support

• Support funding applications by preparing and reviewing budgets for grant bids and proposals
• Monitor and report on restricted funds from a management reporting perspective
• Produce financial models to support commercial relationships and decision-making
• Undertake first-stage financial review of commercial participator agreements, escalating where required

Financial Capability & Continuous Improvement

• Design and deliver budget holder training and ongoing financial literacy support
• Act as a financial sounding board for non-finance teams
• Improve management reporting within finance systems and reporting tools (e.g. Business Central, Power BI)
• Identify opportunities for automation, improved data quality and reporting efficiency
• Support finance systems enhancements, testing and implementation

About You
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical skills with empathy, curiosity and a commitment to using finance as a tool for impact.
You will ideally have:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) (Part-qualified or qualified by experience also considered)
• Solid experience in management accounting, budgeting and forecasting
• Experience owning and improving reporting frameworks within complex organisations
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP systems (Business Central desirable)

The successful candidate will have the following knowledge, experience, skills and attributes:

• A practicing Christian (this is an Occupational Requirement of the post) who is sympathetic to and supportive of the Cathedral as part of the Church of England, and willing to participate from time to time in public worship and other cathedral events.

About Police Care UK
Police Care UK is the national, independent charity supporting serving and veteran members of the police community, and their families, when they’ve been physically or psychologically harmed through policing.
Demand for our services has grown by more than 400% in the last decade. This reflects the increasing impact of trauma in modern policing – from major incidents and serious violence to cumulative and vicarious trauma. We understand that harm doesn’t end with a shift, and that families are often affected too. We’ve evolved from a traditional benevolent fund into a sector-leading organisation delivering evidence-informed support, trauma-focused recovery services and practical prevention programmes across UK policing. Our work is grounded in compassion, clarity and evidence, and we’re fiercely independent so we can focus on what people really need. 

Our vision is simple: a future where every member of the police community has access to the care and support they need, and nobody faces the impact of harm alone. Based in Woking and working nationally, we’re committed to strengthening the people behind the force – and we’re looking for those who want to be a part of that work.

About the role
As our Engagement Officer, you’ll play a key role in raising awareness of Police Care UK, strengthening relationships across policing and local communities, and supporting events and initiatives that increase engagement, partnerships, and income generation.

• Serve as a brand ambassador for Police Care UK and to represent the Charity values in all that you do.

• Assess and prioritise event and engagement opportunities, ensuring each activity has clear objectives, outcomes, and value for the Charity.

We’re looking for a strategic and collaborative leader to drive the adoption of Oak across schools and education organisations. In this role, you’ll design and deliver our go-to-market strategy - guiding schools from awareness through to adoption, sustained use, and advocacy, and develop the B2B partnerships strategy.

Working closely with Product, Marketing and Education teams, you’ll build relationships with schools, MATs and EdTech organisations, develop Oak’s school network and advocacy strategy, and oversee priority partnerships that accelerate adoption. You’ll also shape how we track and grow our adoption pipeline, including developing our CRM approach and expanding usage of Oak’s open API.

You’ll directly manage a Partnerships Manager, set clear priorities for growth, and act as a sector expert on B2B opportunities in education.

Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We’re a national not-for-profit organisation working in partnership with teachers to create high-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.

Our culture has been independently recognised through:

• Escape the City's Top 1% Employers – based on anonymous colleague reviews of culture, development, and impact

In this role, you'll:

• Lead the development and execution of Oak’s B2B go-to-market strategy, working closely with Oak’s ‘adopt squad’.

• Build and scale the delivery of strategic partnerships to drive adoption of Oak’s curriculum and products across schools, multi-academy trusts (MATs) and EdTech organisations.

• Lead the development of strong relationships with EdTech organisations, enabling them to integrate and make effective use of Oak’s curriculum data and APIs in their products and services.

• Maintain specialist expertise in product adoption enablement within schools, and be an authority across Oak.

• Develop and manage a high-performing team of partnership managers.

• Work in cross-functional and product-oriented squads with colleagues from across the organisation.

• As a member of the Oak Team, contribute to the planning and culture of the organisation.

• Deputise for the Head of School Support and take on other general responsibilities as required.

We’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience defining and delivering B2B sales and marketing/adoption strategies, including segmentation, targeting and success metrics.

• Strong understanding of the Education sector, and how to shape propositions for MATs, decision makers and EdTech partners.

• Ability to align Product, Marketing and Education teams around a shared adoption growth plan.

• Strategic Team Leadership experience: setting direction, prioritising resources and developing high-performing teams.

The successful candidate will have a desire to contribute across all areas to ensure Oak is successful. You will be comfortable working at pace, with a range of digital systems (including proprietary ones as required), and you will continuously look at ways that the team can keep getting better. You will be excellent at working as part of a remote team, building relationships and managing your time effectively.

Our Benefits

• 25 days annual leave, plus one extra day for each year of service (up to 28)

• Additional Oak closure days over Christmas/New Year

• 11% employer pension contribution (with no minimum employee contribution, which can be varied as you choose). Please note this is a workplace pension rather than the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

• A 36-hour working week (not tied to term-time patterns or school-day hours), with half-days on Fridays or every other Friday off.

• Fully remote working — we’ll support your home set-up and offer coworking options if preferred

• Twice-yearly in-person whole Oak offsites to collaborate, connect, and have fun (with other occasional team events in person)

• A culture that genuinely supports flexibility, autonomy, and trust
