UKHarvest is an award-winning food rescue and education charity that tackles two major challenges at the same time: food waste and food insecurity. Founded in 2016, UKHarvest rescues surplus nutritious food from growers, farmers and suppliers that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to support people and communities across the South of England and London. But it doesn't stop there. UKHarvest also teaches people how to make the most of that food through cooking, nutrition and food-waste prevention programmes, helping families develop the skills and confidence to eat well for less and waste less at home.

UKHarvest's commitment to combining food, education and community is perhaps best demonstrated through the Nourish Hub in Shepherd's Bush, West London. Opened in 2022, the Hub was established as a welcoming community space where people can access nutritious meals, practical support, educational opportunities and social connection under one roof. The Nourish Hub has received local and national recognition for its social and environmental impact.

Building on this successful model, UKHarvest has recently opened the Nourish Hub Café in Bognor Regis.

Working closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees, the postholder will translate HCCN’s strategy into clear operational priorities and ensure that the organisation is well organised, financially responsible, compliant and capable of delivering a high-quality experience for people affected by cancer.

The role is particularly important in enabling HCCN to work effectively alongside the NHS Community Cancer Nursing Team and to provide the non-clinical support that helps people live well with and beyond cancer.

This is a senior but hands-on operational role. It requires someone who can exercise sound judgement, establish effective systems and provide practical solutions, while recognising that HCCN is a relatively small charity with limited resources.

1.Effective and person-centred service coordination

2.Operational planning and organisational performance

3.Governance, risk and compliance

4.Financial and resource oversight

5.People, volunteers and organisational culture

6.Efficient operational infrastructure

7.Effective partnership working with the NHS and local community

The postholder will work within the authority delegated by the Board and will escalate matters requiring trustee approval or strategic decision-making.

To keep the role achievable within 25 hours per week, the postholder will establish effective systems, coordinate and delegate appropriately, and work with trustees, staff, volunteers, activity leaders and specialist support where available.

The role does not have responsibility for clinical decision-making or the delivery of specialist clinical cancer care.

Please see our role description for full deatils of the responsibilities of this role.

How to apply

Please send your CV and a covering letter outlining your relevant experience, leadership approach and interest in HCCN.

• Coordinate implementing partners and ensure clear accountability for results.
• Monitor progress, budgets, risks and compliance and take timely corrective action.
• Lead adaptive management, learning, sustainability and close-out planning.
• Maintain effective relationships with the EU, government, communities, partners and other stakeholders.
• Ensure strong financial management, donor reporting, safeguarding and risk management.
• Strengthen cross-border coordination and integration across the landscape.
• Identify opportunities for private-sector engagement, sustainable value chains and green enterprises.
• Provide strong field leadership and represent the programme with key stakeholders.

About you

We are looking for a senior programme manager and collaborative leader with the following essential skills:

• Relevant professional experience in programme management, with a track record of delivering complex programmes.
• Experience managing programmes involving multiple partners and/or working across more than one country.
• Experience working on programmes funded by the EU or other international donors, or the ability to demonstrate transferable experience from similar funding environments.
• Experience leading and influencing stakeholders, with or without direct line management responsibility.
• Experience working with governments, NGOs and rural communities in West Africa, or transferable experience working with similar stakeholder groups and operating environments.
• Experience of financial management, risk management, communication and problem-solving within programme delivery.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability and willingness to live in Liberia and undertake regular travel within Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Experience in Liberia or Sierra Leone, transboundary conservation, community forestry, sustainable cocoa/value chains, climate finance, REDD+ or the Upper Guinean Forest would be an advantage.

Additional Information:

• This is an up to 46 month Fixed-Term role for 37.5 hours per week.
• The RSPB reserves the right to extend or make this role permanent without further advertising dependent on business needs at the end of the contract term.

About Gambling Harm UK

Gambling Harm UK (GHUK) is a lived-experience-led public health charity working to prevent and reduce gambling harm. Formerly Gambling Education Network, we are independent of the gambling industry and funded by public money, which we take seriously.

We are in Year 1 of a two-year national programme. Our two largest contracts are with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and NHS England, and we expect to add further contracts and grants as the charity grows. We are a small team where every role matters, and good financial management directly enables our mission.

This is a new post. You will be the person who keeps our finances accurate, our payments properly controlled, our contracts monitored and our funders confident that public money is being used well. You will report to the CEO, work day to day with the Director of Operations and our Bookkeeper, and have a direct line to the Treasurer and the Chair of our Audit & Risk Committee.

It is a hands-on role with real ownership of the numbers, the contracts and the controls. Two days a week is enough to do it well, and we are flexible about how those days are worked.

• Give the CEO and Director of Operations early warning of expiry and renewal dates

Bookkeeping assurance and controls

• Work with the Bookkeeper so every transaction is recorded and coded to the right fund, project or funder

• Monitor and report on restricted funds

• Maintain financial controls, procedures and audit trails, and support the annual independent examination

• Identify control weaknesses or irregularities and escalate them

Procurement and compliance

• Support procurement in line with our policies, including quotations and documentation

• Monitor supplier performance, spend and compliance

• Keep financial and contractual records complete, accurate and secure

• Support compliance with Charity Commission requirements and contribute to the risk register where finance or contract risks arise

What we are looking for

Essential

• Experience of financial administration, bookkeeping, management accounts or a similar finance role

• Experience of monitoring budgets and expenditure

• Good understanding of financial controls and procedures

• Experience of contract, grant or supplier management

• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with a high level of accuracy

• Well organised, able to work independently and manage competing deadlines

• Good written and verbal communication skills

• Confident with Microsoft Excel and standard office systems

Desirable

• Experience in a charity or not-for-profit organisation

• Knowledge of charity accounting, restricted funds and funder requirements

• Knowledge of Charity Commission requirements

• Experience of contract monitoring or commissioned services

• Experience of accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, and of online payment or expenses platforms such as Apron
