About us

The Alliance for Youth Justice is an alliance of more than 70 non-profit organisations advocating with and for children to drive positive change in youth justice across England and Wales. We mobilise our members’ frontline expertise, children’s lived experience, and evidence from research to champion a child-centred, rights-based and trauma-informed system that treats contact with the justice system as a sign of unmet need and systemic failure, prioritises support over criminalisation and gives every child the opportunity to thrive.

We're widely recognised as the most influential group campaigning for improvements to the system, with trusted access to decision makers, working towards three goals: keeping children safe from the youth justice system through prevention and diversion; racial justice across the system; and custody as a last resort for children.

About the role

Following the launch of our new strategic approach, our Operations and Membership Lead will provide the operational, financial and administrative backbone of the organisation — keeping our finances and governance on track, and coordinating our network of over 70 member organisations.

Finance, operations and governance (70%) — manage bookkeeping in QuickBooks, coordinate banking, prepare management accounts, support grant financial reporting, maintain internal systems (SharePoint, IT), lead on policy compliance (safeguarding, GDPR, health and safety), and support Board governance and statutory filings.

Membership coordination (30%) — manage the end-to-end membership process from enquiries to renewals, coordinate member surveys and data, and organise our events — quarterly member meetings, roundtables and webinars.

Anti-racist, anti-oppressive practice runs through how we work with our Board, staff, members and stakeholders.

About you

You have experience in an operations, finance or administrative coordination role within a non-profit or membership organisation, including managing the full financial cycle within a charity and a working knowledge of charity fund accounting. You're practically experienced with QuickBooks (or equivalent), highly proficient in Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Excel-based tracking systems or CRMs, and bring exceptional organisational skills, discretion and a proactive, self-motivated approach. You have a personal commitment to anti-racism, social justice and child rights.

Why join us

We're a small team of three punching well above our weight, with real scope to shape how we work and few layers of hierarchy. We offer flexible, trust-based home working (within core hours), plus 25 days' leave (pro rata), Christmas office closure, and a 5% employer pension contribution.

We encourage applications from historically marginalised groups even if you don't meet every requirement, and we do not use criminal records to exclude candidates.

Grant Accountant

Money Ready is dedicated to creating a financially fluent population, and our finance team plays a vital role in making that ambition possible. We’re looking for an experienced grant accounting professional to join us on a six-month contract, taking ownership of our grant financial reporting and setting up a new procurement structure for our schools team.

You’ll prepare financial information for grant proposals and donor reports, maintain restricted and unrestricted fund schedules, and keep our grant compliance and audit readiness in good shape. Alongside this, you’ll design and implement Money Ready’s procurement framework from scratch, covering policy, supplier due diligence, purchase orders and contract management, before handing this over to our Finance Assistant once it’s up and running.

This role sits at the bridge between transactional finance and our wider strategic finance function, so we’re looking for someone who’s just as comfortable in the detail as they are explaining financial data to non-finance colleagues and funders.

What the role involves:

Preparing grant budgets, financial narratives and donor reports in line with funder requirements and Charity SORP. Tracking grant budgets against actuals and reporting variances to the Senior Finance & Operations Manager. Designing and rolling out a procurement framework, from supplier onboarding through to contract renewals. Supporting month-end reconciliations and audit schedules. Working closely with our fundraising team to provide financial data and constructive challenge on donor budgets.

Key details:

• Hybrid working, based from one of our offices in London, Birmingham, Southampton, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow or Manchester
• Fixed-term contract, 6 months, 3 days per week
• Salary of £36,000 to £38,000 FTE, pro-rated to 3 days per week, dependent on experience
• Part-qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent); AAT Level 4 with substantial grant and procurement experience will also be considered
• Experience of Sage Intacct is highly desirable
• Appointment is subject to satisfactory references and a criminal record check (PVG)

Key dates:

• Application deadline: 12pm on Monday 28 September
• Round 1 interviews: 1 or 2 October (online)
• Round 2 interviews: 6 October (in person, London)

We help high-impact nonprofits run brilliantly - now we need someone to do the same for us. You'll own Impact Ops' finances, payroll, contracts and compliance, reporting straight to the founder.

Summary

Impact Ops is looking for a Finance & Operations Manager to join our team. This is a newly created, internal-facing role: rather than working on client portfolios, you’ll own the financial and operational machinery of Impact Ops itself. The salary range for this role is £50,000–£60,000 GBP, depending on experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.

We’re looking for a qualified accountant who is genuinely happy to be hands-on, someone who can handle a corporation tax return and a contracting in the same afternoon and see both as worth doing well. If you want breadth, autonomy, and a role where you can see the whole organisation from the inside, we’d love to hear from you. The deadline to apply is 11 October 2026.

About Impact Ops

Impact Ops is an independent organization providing finance and operations support to high-impact nonprofits. Our services include bookkeeping, financial reporting, accounts payable, payroll, recruitment, entity setup, due diligence, and systems implementation. We serve over 50 clients globally, spanning cause areas including global health, animal welfare, AI safety, and climate.

We’re a remote-first team based across the world. We’re looking for motivated, detail-oriented people who care about doing good work in service of organizations trying to do good in the world.

The role

Everything we do for our clients, we also have to do for ourselves — and to date that work has been spread across the founder, the finance team, and external accountants. This role brings it together under one owner.

As Finance & Operations Manager, you’ll run Impact Ops’ own finances, company secretarial obligations, payroll, invoicing, contracting, and HR administration. You’ll report to Joshua Axford (Founder & CEO) and work closely with Eric (Head of Finance), who leads our client-facing finance function.

It’s a broad role with real trust attached. You’ll have visibility into every commercially sensitive part of the business, and you’ll be the person we rely on to keep it running properly.

Finance

• Owning Impact Ops’ bookkeeping, month-end close, and management accounts
• Preparing annual accounts
• Cash flow forecasting and budget tracking
• Accounts receivable and accounts payable: raising client invoices, chasing payment, processing supplier invoices and payment runs
• VAT returns and corporation tax submissions

Company secretarial & compliance

• Confirmation statements, annual returns, and Companies House filings
• Maintaining statutory registers and corporate records
• Insurance renewals across the group, including professional indemnity, private medical and employers’ liability

Payroll

• Running end-to-end monthly payroll for our UK team, including RTI submissions, PAYE/NI, and pension auto-enrolment
• Coordinating payments for team members engaged internationally across several jurisdictions
• Year-end tasks including P60s and P11Ds

Contracts & client administration

• Drafting, issuing, and tracking client Service Level Agreements
• Managing employment contracts and contractor agreements for the team
• Maintaining a reliable view of contractual obligations, renewal dates, and scope changes

HR administration

• Onboarding and offboarding administration
• Maintaining people records and keeping our HR systems accurate
• Leave tracking, benefits administration, and equipment provisioning

About you

You’ll need to have:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) — or qualified by experience with a track record that speaks for itself
• Experience running or providing accounting support for the finance function of a small business, or a comparable breadth of ownership within a larger one
• UK payroll experience, or the confidence to take it on with support
• Genuine comfort with administrative work: this role is hands on and we’d rather be honest about that than have you discover it in month two
• Strong judgement about confidentiality and discretion — you’ll see everything
• The ability to work independently in a remote environment and set your own priorities
• A genuine desire to have a positive impact with your career

It would be a bonus if you also have:

• Practice background: experience in an accountancy practice, particularly with company secretarial work
• Contract administration experience: comfort reading and drafting commercial agreements
• Familiarity with our tool stack: Xero, Ramp, Deel, Apron, or similar
• A process improvement mindset: you spot inefficiencies and take initiative to address them
• Commercial exposure: experience with pricing, proposals, or commercial analysis — not required for the role as scoped, but useful as it develops

Compensation & logistics

• Salary: £50,000–£60,000 GBP, depending on experience. There may be flexibility for exceptional candidates.
• Location: Remote, but we have a strong preference for candidates based in the UK and specifically the South West. This role involves periodic in-person co-working with the CEO, and the trust-level nature of the work benefits from face-to-face time.
• Hours: Full-time, or part-time (at least 3 days a week or equivalent) depending on candidate preference
• Start date: 1 December 2026 preferred, but we’re flexible for the right person — a Q1 2027 start is fine if you have a longer notice period
• Application deadline: 11 October 2026

Growth & Progression

We’re deliberately hiring above the immediate need. The brief described here is where the role starts, not where we expect it to stay: as Impact Ops scales, we anticipate significant operational leadership responsibility sitting with whoever takes this on, and we’d rather find that person now than replace them later.

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with the business.

Our benefits include:

• Prioritised health & wellbeing: Private medical, vision, and dental insurance; up to 2 weeks’ paid sick leave; a generous mental health allowance
• Flexible working: Set your own schedule (with some overlap with colleagues as needed); remote workspace covered if needed
• Generous vacation: 25 days’ holiday per year plus public holidays — we encourage you to use the full allowance
• Professional development: A generous annual allowance for CPD, plus on-the-job growth and clear progression pathways
• Retirement: Pension with 10% employer contribution
• Parental leave: Up to 14 weeks fully paid, up to 52 weeks total; financial support for childcare where needed
• Equipment: Full remote setup covered (laptop, monitors, chair, etc.)
• Team retreats: Two in-person staff retreats per year

How to apply

To apply, please submit your CV and a short cover letter explaining your interest in the role and relevant experience. 

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and warmly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

Diversity and inclusion

We’re aware that factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic background can affect people’s willingness to apply for roles for which they meet some but not all the suggested attributes. We’d especially like to encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to express interest.

There’s no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you’re on the fence about applying because you’re unsure whether you’re qualified, we’d encourage you to apply.

If you require any adjustments to the application process, such as accessibility accommodations, additional preparation time, or other, please let us know. We’re happy to support your needs and adjust the application process.

We're looking for a Volunteer Coordinator who's good with people and good at organising them - someone who can recruit, train and keep in touch with the volunteers who make FFLAG's support possible.

Are you someone who enjoys building relationships and helping people do their best work? This role is about making sure FFLAG's volunteers - most of them parents of LGBT+ children themselves - feel properly recruited, trained and supported.

About FFLAG

FFLAG is a national voluntary organisation and registered charity and is the UK's longest established parent support charity in the LGBT+ sector. Our history began in the grassroots parent helplines of the 1960s, grew through the 1980's and 90's as we supported anxious parents and fought against the discrimination of Section 28, becoming a formally registered charity in 2000.

Our work sounds simple, but it is life changing. We help parents and families understand, accept and support their lesbian, gay, bisexual, non-binary and transgender family members with love and pride.

We offer a range of support options spanning 1-2-1 online and helpline support services to a UK-wide monthly group Zoom meeting and face to face local groups. We also have an extensive collection of online resources and guides. We attend as many Pride events as we can and our work supports thousands of people every year. This support is provided by an active base of FFLAG volunteers who are parents of LGBT+ children themselves, supported by other volunteers and allies.

What this job is all about

As Volunteer Coordinator, you'll make sure FFLAG's volunteers are properly recruited, trained and supported, so they can continue doing this work well. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will:

• Identify what volunteers FFLAG needs, then recruit, induct and train them, including DBS checks and references

• Maintain training, the volunteer handbook and the Code of Conduct up to date

• Maintain regular contact with volunteers, so they stay engaged, safe and supported

• Act as FFLAG's Safeguarding Lead, providing regular supervision to support volunteers

• Keep accurate records, liaise with Trustees, and report on volunteer activity to the Board

• Be a member of the Services and Support Committee

• Provide support to the Operations Manager with events, as required

What are the skills and attributes you will need?

This role needs someone who's organised, approachable, and motivated by helping people do well - but it also needs real, hands-on experience of volunteer coordination from day one, since it's a small, part-time role with no one else to lean on for this work. We're specifically looking for candidates who can point to evidence of previous experience in:

• Recruiting, training and supporting volunteers in a paid or voluntary role

• Keeping volunteers engaged and retained over time

• Handling safeguarding matters sensitively and appropriately

• Working independently and comfortably in a remote-working setup

• A genuine interest in equality, diversity, and the LGBT+ community

Please note: this role isn't suitable as a first step into volunteer management - we're looking for candidates who already have relevant, demonstrable experience in this area.

Why join us?

It's a chance to play a hands-on role at a charity with a long history of supporting parents and families, helping the volunteers who in turn support thousands of people every year. It's part-time, flexible and home-based, with 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (both pro rata), and a pension in place.
