Office base Liverpool Street/Moorgate – Commonweal operates a flexible hybrid working policy requiring staff to attend the office base at least 2 days per week, one of which is our Tuesday anchor day when all staff are in the office.
Commonweal is an independent charity, with a small core staff team of 9, overseen by a voluntary Board of Trustees, working to investigate, pilot and champion housing based solutions to social injustice. Using our charitable resources, we provide experts and partner organisations with the opportunity to trial and test new approaches designed to enhance housing equality and justice. Independently evaluating each of our projects we share our experiences, using this learning to inspire new thinking. Through the replication of what works and the lessons from what doesn’t, we influence changes in policy and practice. In addition, we commission other research identifying and spotlighting new areas of housing injustice.
Commonweal owns a small portfolio of properties that are leased to our project partners – charities, housing and support organisations delivering services to people experiencing housing injustice. This role will be central to ensuring that we fulfil our responsibilities as a property owner and that our partners and managing agents meet their property and compliance obligations.
You will maintain oversight of key property compliance requirements, ensuring certificates, inspections and other documentation are in place and up to date, proactively following up outstanding actions and escalating issues where necessary. Working closely with our managing agents, retained surveyor, contractors and project partners, you will help ensure we have an accurate and up-to-date picture of our properties, including repairs and planned works, void properties and those being prepared for occupation.
Commonweal also periodically buys and sells properties as new projects begin and others come to an end. You will provide administrative coordination for these processes, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and helping to keep actions and deadlines on track.
Alongside our property portfolio, the Office & Property Compliance Administrator will coordinate and deliver the core administration that underpins Commonweal's work. This varied role brings together governance and Board administration, property and compliance coordination, and oversight of our office systems and environment.
You will:
- Manage the compliance administration of our property portfolio, maintaining accurate records of compliance requirements, certificates, inspections, key dates and associated documentation.
- Proactively monitor outstanding property actions, repairs and works, liaising with managing agents, our surveyor, contractors and project partners to obtain updates, follow up overdue actions and escalate concerns where necessary.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date information on the status of our properties, including voids, outstanding works and readiness for occupation, providing reliable information for operational and Board reporting.
- Provide administrative coordination for property acquisitions and disposals, liaising with estate agents, solicitors and other professional advisers and tracking actions through to completion.
- Provide high-quality governance support to our Board of Trustees, including scheduling meetings, collating agendas and papers, circulating Board packs and taking accurate minutes.
- Oversee the smooth running of our office, including IT and supplier contracts and health & safety administration.
- Act as a first point of contact for general enquiries and provide reliable administrative support to the CEO, DCEO and wider team.
We are looking for someone with:
- Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Experience of supporting Boards or committees, including minute-taking.
- Experience of property, housing, lettings or compliance administration, or demonstrable experience of managing detailed records, actions and deadlines within another regulated environment.
- Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate and reliable information.
- A proactive approach – someone who is comfortable following up outstanding actions, chasing information and identifying when something needs attention or escalation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Confidence working with suppliers, contractors and other external organisations.
- A collaborative and professional style and the ability to work effectively as part of a small team.
Previous knowledge of property compliance requirements would be an advantage, but we are equally interested in candidates with strong transferable administrative and coordination skills and the ability to develop their property knowledge.
This is a varied and important role at the heart of Commonweal, helping to ensure that our properties, governance and organisational systems are well managed, accurate and compliant, and that colleagues and Trustees have the reliable information they need.

How To Apply
If you'd like to apply, please:
-
Complete the application form and equal opportunities monitoring form found on our website.
-
Submit these via our application portal by 11.59pm on Thursday 17th September 2026.
We strongly encourage early applications as we may close the recruitment early if we have reached a sufficient number of viable applications.
We know job descriptions can feel daunting and that people who are from the global majority, from working class backgrounds, those without formal qualifications and some LGBTQ+ candidates are statistically less likely to apply even when they are well suited to a role.
If you read this JD and felt you *almost* matched (if you have built relevant skills through freelance work, lived experience, activism, organising or routes outside formal education) we very much want to hear from you! We also believe class is not defined by education or parental occupation alone. If you identify as working class by your current financial experience and lifestyle, that counts.
Our commitment to underrepresented individuals:
As part of our ongoing commitment to building a team that better reflects the people, communities and causes we serve, we operate a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for disabled candidates, in line with the Equality Act 2010.
This scheme is available to candidates who identify as disabled (including under the social model of disability, encompassing physical, sensory, cognitive, mental health and long-term health conditions) and who can demonstrate within their application that they meet all of the essential criteria outlined in the job description.
Candidates will be asked within the equal opportunities form whether they wish to be considered under this scheme. This information will be handled in confidence and will only be shared with those involved in the shortlisting process where necessary to apply the scheme.
We are committed to increasing the diversity of our workforce and recognise that some groups are underrepresented within our organisation and sector. We therefore actively encourage applications from people from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Where candidates are equally qualified, we may apply positive action in line with the Equality Act 2010 to select a candidate from an underrepresented group, where this is a proportionate means of addressing underrepresentation.
A note on AI:
While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly.
On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are.
We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work.
Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
Julie’s Bicycle is a leading not-for-profit, mobilising the arts and culture to take action on the climate, nature and justice crisis.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Rehoming Centre Manager
Beagle Welfare is looking for an experienced, compassionate and highly organised Rehoming Centre Manager to lead the daily operation of our Rehoming Centre, based in Burton-on-Trent.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a visible difference to the lives of beagles, adopters, volunteers and colleagues by creating a centre where excellent welfare, effective rehabilitation and successful rehoming are at the heart of everything we do.
As the lead on site, you will manage and develop staff and volunteers, oversee safe and efficient centre operations, and help ensure every beagle in our care receives the right support to progress towards a happy, secure future. You will also represent Beagle Welfare externally and contribute to the continued development of our rehoming work across the UK.
About the role
You will be responsible for the leadership, performance and smooth running of the Rehoming Centre, including staff and volunteer management, health and safety, site maintenance and the implementation of operational procedures. With rehoming at the centre of your decision-making, you will use data, strong people leadership and sound operational judgement to help improve outcomes for beagles and the people who care for and adopt them.
Key responsibilities
· Lead, motivate and develop a committed team of staff and volunteers, creating a positive, inclusive and high-performing culture.
· Oversee day-to-day centre operations, ensuring high standards of dog welfare, customer service, health and safety, security and compliance.
· Drive rehoming activity by supporting case progression, promoting beagles effectively and helping minimise the time beagles spend in our care.
· Manage resources, reporting and administrative processes accurately and responsibly.
· Build productive relationships with adopters, visitors, animal welfare organisations, and community partners.
· Use data, feedback and quality assurance processes to identify improvements and support consistent application of procedures.
About you
We are looking for a confident manager with experience leading diverse teams, delivering against targets and managing a varied operational workload. You will be comfortable working around dogs, including beagles with different welfare and behavioural needs, and able to balance compassion with practical decision-making. Strong communication, organisation, collaboration and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is experience in supporting continuous improvement.
You will also need a UK manual driving licence and be comfortable driving our van. Experience in a kennel or animal welfare environment would be advantageous, but above all you will share Beagle Welfare’s commitment to improving the lives of beagles and supporting the people who care for them.
Working pattern and location
This role is based at the Rehoming Centre and offers employment that includes employer provided accommodation (3-bedroom cottage) as part of the compensation package.
The centre operates between 08:30 and 17:00 every day of the year, so weekend and bank holiday working will be required on a rota basis.
Why join Beagle Welfare?
You will join an organisation driven by purpose, teamwork and a shared commitment to dog welfare. This is a hands-on leadership role where your decisions, energy and care will directly support better outcomes for beagles, adopters, volunteers and colleagues.
