Finance Manager Job Description

Brent Mencap has been passionate about a healthier and fairer Brent since 1979. We’ve developed and run successful housing, employment, health, advice, wellbeing and self-advocacy services. During austerity and Covid we diversified, successfully taking on NHS work with people with long-term health conditions. We provide social prescribing support and health and wellbeing coaching to patients for Brent GPs. In 2024-25 we helped over 18000 people. We’re a leading partner on the Brent Health Educators Programme.

Our income has substantially  increased from £382k in 19/20 to £1.71 million in 23-24. We’ve had to adapt quickly, developing and retaining a much larger staff group, using our data better and improving our marketing.

Brent Mencap offers fantastic free creative and wellbeing activities for people with a learning disability, autism and long-term health conditions. These have flourished since Covid. People love yoga, poetry, singing, gardening, Breathe and Move, self-advocacy, campaigning, awareness raising, CREATE art activities for young people, external trips and parties. Small grants, donations and our reserves fund this while we get longer term funding. Our self-advocates want us to focus on paid employment, youth services and making Brent Council use accessible information properly.

You will be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of our finances, ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements while ensuring our services are sustainable through sound financial planning.

Can you lead and grow an award winning charity?

We are Olive Branch Aid (OBA), an award-winning Foodbank charity operating in south London, and we are looking for a dynamic and confident Foodbank Manager to work alongside our newly appointed Foodbank Coordinator as well as an energetic team of more than 60 volunteers. 

We have achieved so much but we have ambitions to do so much more! 

Since beginning 5 years ago, OBA now provides food support for a day for the equivalent of 70,000 people a year. In 2024 we packaged and delivered more than 9 tonnes of food for those needing our services. Check out our website to read more about our journey.

OBA is different

OBA provides a hand-up rather than a hand-out. More than a Foodbank, OBA provides support for 3 months - much longer than most Foodbanks. We also provide an innovative well-being support service that helps service users address the underlying causes of their food needs. In 2024, OBA helped more than 75 households with complex underlying issues, this involved many weeks of telephone calls and meetings and helped prevent at least five families from becoming homeless. OBA also provides free preloved clothing and household goods to help service users get back on their feet.

Since 2023, OBA has its own fully funded premises off Portslade Road next to the Windrush overground station. Despite these successes, we continue to rely entirely on donations for our day to day expenses. As Foodbank Manager, you will help us secure the funding to grow our services and help even more people. 

You will bring:

• A strong track record of fundraising and networking across public and private organisations

• The ability to articulate a clear compelling vision to our stakeholders and funders

• The ability to develop and implement  effective operational procedures to deliver our goals

• The authority to lead a values driven organisation in a collaborative and inclusive manner

• A strong understanding of the voluntary sector;

In return we offer:

• A flexible part time (32 hr/wk) work environment with hybrid working

• The opportunity to work with a dynamic, ambitious Board of Trustees

• A fully funded business plan with exciting growth opportunities

• A fully funded position complete with NIC and workplace pension

• A diverse, stable and energetic team of volunteers 

If you have questions, please contact Sonya Antoniou-Pamment, Chair of Trustees, for an initial informal chat. We are also happy for you to pop in and see the Foodbank in operation however, as OBA is not open every day, please contact Sonya to arrange a suitable time.

If you would like to apply, please send a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) telling us a little about yourself and how you meet the skills and experience requirements listed in the Job Description. Please include a CV (again no more than 2 pages) and don’t forget to include a contact email and telephone number. The deadline is Friday 22 August 2025. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Accountability & Learning Officer - Improve humanitarian responses through evidence and  learning
London, N1
Full-time, Permanent
Salary of circa £36,000 per annum

When humanitarian crises strike, the DEC stands poised to co-ordinate and deliver incredible responses around the world.

Learning and insight are essential to improving how we respond and we’re now looking for an Accountability & Learning Officer to directly contribute to learning and growth for the DEC and our 15 member charities.

We need someone with monitoring and evaluation experience and a strong understanding of humanitarian crises globally to play a vital role in our dedicated charity.

About Us

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique membership organisation made up of 15 of the UK’s leading humanitarian charities: Action Against Hunger, ActionAid UK, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide (UK), International Rescue Committee, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam GB, Plan International UK, Save the Children UK, Tearfund, and World Vision UK.

When large-scale disasters strike countries that lack the resources to respond, we bring our member charities together to raise funds quickly and efficiently. In times of crisis, our mission is to save, protect, and rebuild lives through effective humanitarian action.

Working as one, we coordinate the UK public’s response to overseas disasters. Through our Rapid Response Network of media and corporate partners, we raise the alarm with the UK public and make donating as easy as possible, with most funds raised within the first two weeks of an appeal.

Since our launch in 1963, we have run 79 appeals and raised an astounding £2.5bn, helping save countless lives and rebuild communities.

At the DEC, accountability and learning are not just processes, they are a commitment to the people affected by disaster and will aid our growth and the development of our members. Your work will help ensure the funds we raise are used effectively and transparently, and that every appeal we launch is an opportunity to do better, together.

They aim to improve our natural world, secure a fairer future and strengthen the bonds in communities in the UK. 

The Foundation provides c.£50million annually in grants to organisations and initiatives with brilliant ideas who share our goals. We also provide social and impact investment for organisations with the aim of creating social and environmental impact.

Their strategy focuses on three interdependent aims: improving Our Natural World; tackling injustice to deliver A Fairer Future; and nurturing Creative, Confident Communities. We also want to play a more active role ourselves using our range of tools to effect change. In addition to funding, this includes convening and brokering alliances, commissioning research, and using our influence to achieve our goals.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with the Foundation to recruit a Funding Manager on a full-time (or 0.8) permanent basis to work on the A Fairer Future (AFF) programme as part of the team based in Kings Cross.

In A Fairer Future, there are five focus areas:

-  Gender justice

-  Migrant justice

-  Racial justice

See 'Working for the Foundation' to learn more about their values and work towards diversity, equity and inclusion; as well as information about their approach to recruitment, benefits and HR policies.

The role:

This key role will add substantial grant-making and strategic capacity to the AFF team, which currently consists of 7 people  reporting to the Director of A Fairer Future. The role will take on existing relationships in the form of a portfolio of organisations at various points in their funding journey. This person will pick up these relationships and ensure continuity as well as assessing new applications.  There will also be work contributing to strategic initiatives, helping to achieve impact in the thematic areas covered by the AFF strategy and roadmaps. Committed to social justice, the candidate will be ambitious to help create change using Esmée's full range of tools and approaches.

They will also be responsible for capturing learning from reporting, site visits and facilitating online discussions with organisations, as well as representing the Foundation at sector forums and events concentrating on the AFF priority areas.

The person:

The successful candidate will have experience of working in one or more of the areas cover by the AFF priorities, perhaps gained through work in the voluntary or local authority sector.  We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with experience in services to Children and Young People and/or racial justice, but are also interested to hear from those with experience more broadly across our AFF priority areas. This experience could have been gained from the delivering or commissioning programmes in these areas or indeed from a grant making perspective.

Highly organised, intellectually curious and pragmatic, this person will be able to unpick complex information and will be confident in assessing applicants' financial information. They will understand the charity funding world and importantly, the challenges faced by marginalised communities across the UK in the face of widespread inequity. The AFF team works with the Involving Young People's Collective, candidates should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the value of co-production.

An understanding and experience of systems change principles and an appreciation of the nuanced intersections between the various priorities of the AFF programme will be important to success in this role. This role represents a fantastic opportunity for someone with the right skills and experience to really effect positive change and to make a real mark in one of the leading funders in the UK.
