Become Charity is a national charity fighting alongside children and young people for a better care system. We believe care-experienced young people should have the same chances as everyone else to live happy and fulfilled lives. But today, that’s far from the reality. The care system is in crisis and there are more children in care than ever before. They aren’t getting the love, support and stability that all young people need.
It’s not good enough.
We’re in a strong position to respond and it’s an exciting moment to be joining us. We’ve grown in recent years and have clear plans for the future.
The Operations Assistant is a key support role within the Finance & People (F&P) team at Become. Working under the guidance of the Operations Manager, the postholder will provide practical, day-to-day administrative and operational support across HR, operations and – to a limited degree – finance administration.
This is an entry-level role suited to someone who is organised, reliable and keen to learn. The Operations Assistant will serve as a first point of contact for F&P enquiries from across the organisation, handling routine queries, supporting processes and escalating to senior team members where needed.

The Old Street office space is available for team members to work from if preferred. For non-London based team members hot-desking options near you can be requested if required.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

We are actively seeking to bring diversity of perspectives and experience, and especially welcome applications from those from racially-minoritised communities. We ask all applicants to fill in an Equity and Diversity Monitoring from to better understand the diversity of applicants.

Head of Finance and Operations
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 per annum, plus performance-related bonus of up to £5,000 per annum
Location: South London
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Hybrid working: Up to one day per week from home, with additional flexibility possible
We are working with an established arts and education charity to recruit a new Head of Finance and Operations.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, ambitious organisation delivering a range of artistic, educational and community programmes. The charity receives income from a diverse mix of public funding, trusts and foundations, individual giving, sponsorship and commercial activity.
Sitting within the Leadership Team and working closely with the Director, this is a genuinely broad role encompassing finance, operations, governance, HR and organisational management.
A key part of the role will be leading the charity’s financial management and planning. You’ll manage the annual budget, produce quarterly management accounts and cash-flow forecasts, oversee VAT returns and work closely with external accountants and auditors on the year-end accounts and audit. You’ll also work with budget holders, senior colleagues, trustees and the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee to ensure strong financial management across the organisation.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have previous experience working within a small charity or similarly sized not-for-profit organisation. This isn’t a role where finance sits in isolation – you’ll need to be comfortable getting into the detail, working across different areas of the organisation and balancing strategic responsibilities with the practical realities of working in a smaller charity.
Strong charity finance experience will therefore be important. You’ll need to understand the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funding, be confident managing and reporting against different funding streams and have a good working knowledge of Charity SORP.
Experience of dealing with funders and their different reporting and monitoring requirements will also be particularly useful.
Alongside finance, you’ll oversee a varied operational remit including building and office management, HR processes, organisational policies and governance. You’ll also support the Board and committees, take responsibility for company secretarial duties and maintain relationships with key funders and stakeholders.
This role would suit someone who enjoys the variety that comes with working in a small charity – practical, organised and collaborative, with the confidence to operate at leadership and trustee level while still being happy to roll their sleeves up when required.
You don’t necessarily need to tick every box. We’re keen to hear from candidates with strong charity finance experience who can demonstrate the ability to manage a broad and varied remit.
The role sits on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the Charity Director. You will manage a General Manager and Freelance Bookkeeper.
Fully-qualified and part-qualified ACCA, CIMA or ACA candidates will be considered.
Please send your CV for further consideration.
Closing date: 10am, Monday 21 September 2026.

About Migrateful
Migrateful is an award-winning charity supporting refugees, asylum seekers and migrants on their journey to integration and employment.
Our cookery classes enable our chefs to share their cultures and cuisines, develop skills and confidence, and create meaningful connections with the wider community.
About the Role
We are looking for an organised, practical and proactive candidate to take day-to-day operational ownership of the Migrateful Cookery School in Farringdon and coordinate the effective operation of our network of venues across London.
A key focus will be introducing a Venue Champion model, where designated facilitators undertake agreed routine checks and practical tasks at external venues. With support from the Operations Support Officer, you will establish and coordinate this approach, while retaining overall oversight of venue standards and stepping in when additional intervention is needed.
You will also coordinate the operational onboarding of new venues and support the planned refurbishment of the Cookery School.
This is a varied, hands-on role combining venue operations, coordination, problem-solving and continuous improvement.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Cookery School Operations

Maintain effective systems for stock, storage, equipment, consumables and procurement.
Identify and resolve operational issues to ensure the space works effectively for chefs, facilitators, volunteers and staff.

2. External Venue Coordination
Maintain operational oversight of Migrateful's external London venues.
Maintain venue-specific equipment, kit and operational requirements, with planned schedules for checks, maintenance and resets.
Monitor venue readiness, facilitator feedback and outstanding issues and coordinate appropriate action.
Maintain effective relationships with venue contacts and undertake periodic quality assurance visits where required.
3. Venue Champion Coordination
Venue Champions undertake agreed routine practical tasks, while the Venues Coordinator retains overall oversight of venue standards and the systems supporting them.
With support from the Operations Support Officer, recruit and train Venue Champions from Migrateful's facilitator pool and provide clear guidance for the role.
Establish equipment lists, checklists and schedules for venue checks, kit cleaning and resets.
Monitor completion of agreed tasks and coordinate follow-up, maintenance or equipment replacement where required.
4. New Venue Onboarding
Assess new venues and establish equipment, storage, logistics, food safety and operational requirements.
Coordinate procurement, setup, documentation and facilitator onboarding, resolving issues during initial classes.
Identify and train a Venue Champion and transition established venues into the ongoing venue-management system.
5. Health, Safety & Quality
Maintain appropriate Health & Safety, food safety and allergen systems, documentation and checks.
Ensure facilitators and Venue Champions understand the procedures relevant to their roles.
Coordinate equipment safety and compliance requirements and identify, track and escalate risks appropriately.
6. Systems, Procurement & Continuous Improvement
Manage relevant supplier relationships and monitor expenditure within agreed budgets.
Identify opportunities to simplify, standardise or digitise processes and reduce unnecessary manual work.
Maintain clear records so operational information is accessible, consistent and shared across the team.
Scope and Boundaries
The Venues Coordinator is responsible for the systems, standards and coordination that support effective venue management. They are not expected to personally undertake every routine task at every external venue.
Venue Champions provide local practical support and routine monitoring, with the Venues Coordinator responding to escalated issues and undertaking periodic quality assurance checks.

Is highly organised and able to coordinate multiple venues, priorities and people while ensuring spaces are safe, well equipped and ready for classes.

Communicates confidently and builds effective relationships with a diverse range of people, including facilitators, suppliers and venue partners.
Can develop and maintain clear operational systems, identify issues early and make practical improvements to how things are managed.

As Director of Operations at Newbury Cancer Care, you will be at the heart of the charity, leading its day-to-day operations and working closely with the Board of Trustees, employees, volunteers, healthcare partners and the wider local community.
This is a broad, hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys making things happen.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on a genuinely varied and rewarding role with considerable autonomy and the chance to make a visible difference within the local community.
