About Bank Workers Charity

We’re the charity for past and present bank employees and their families – here when life gets tough.

Every year, we help thousands of people navigate challenges like financial problems, mental health concerns, housing issues and more. We do that through free, confidential support – from expert advice and specialist referrals to financial grants.

We believe everyone deserves support when they need it most and we work hard to make sure that happens. If you care about making a real difference to people’s lives, you’ll be in good company here.

 About the role

Our Client Advisers are often the first people our clients speak to – and that first conversation really matters.

Whether someone is facing financial hardship, struggling with their mental health, or unsure where to turn for help, you’ll be there to listen, understand, and guide them through the support we offer.

It’s a varied and rewarding role. You’ll provide advice and guidance, coordinate casework, process grants, and refer clients to our trusted partners – helping them access the right support at the right time.

You’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team who share ideas, support one another, and care deeply about doing good work. We’ll make sure you’re fully trained, supported, and encouraged to grow.

If you’re empathetic, organised, and want to make a meaningful difference to people’s lives, this could be the role for you.

 About you

You’re someone who genuinely cares about helping others – and knows how to listen without judgement.

You have experience supporting people with things like housing, benefits, mental wellbeing or budgeting – or you might come from another role where empathy, problem-solving and clear communication were key.

Some of the people you support may be facing difficult situations, so you’ll be calm under pressure and confident making decisions. And while not every call is as complex, you’ll always have the support of your team.

You’ll be organised, curious, and open to learning. Most of all, you’ll want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on people’s lives.

What we offer

We’ve put a lot of energy into being a great place to work. We’re proud of our supportive culture and commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. There are plenty of learning opportunities, and as a wellbeing charity we aim to be a leader in wellbeing support for our people.

Our benefits include:

· 28 days holiday, plus statutory bank holidays

· 8% employer contribution to Bank Workers Charity’s pension scheme and up to 3% matched with employee contributions

· A wide range of employer funded wellbeing experiences through Heka

· Flexible benefit provision (including Bupa plan, cycle to work, payroll giving and electric car scheme)

· Group Life Cover (three times annual salary)

· Weekly wellbeing half hour

· Employee Assistance Programme

1. What makes you a good fit for this role? Tell us about the experience and transferable skills you’d bring – particularly anything that relates to the role description.

About Toynbee Hall

Based in the East End of London since 1884, Toynbee Hall is a charity working alongside people facing poverty, injustice, and inequality to build a fairer East London. We provide vital advice and support, working in partnership to tackle unfairness and ensure everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Working together to build a thriving local community where people have the resources they need, feel their voices are heard and are optimistic about the future.
• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

What we learn from our work in east London we use to inform and influence wider policy – working to influence change in structures, systems and policies.

Director of Development

Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith

Location: West London

Salary: No less than £95,000, plus flexibility where needed to ensure that the School is able to attract leading professionals to this important role.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious Development professional to join the Latymer Foundation in this important Senior Management role. With the full backing of the Head, Governors and the Latymer community, and using the momentum of recent campaign success and anniversary celebrations, the new Director of Development will be ideally placed to draw up a roadmap for the fundraising and alumni engagement strategy for the next decade.

The Latymer Foundation runs Latymer Upper School and Latymer Prep in Hammersmith, alongside delivering a wide range of partnership initiatives with some 250 local schools, charities and other not-for-profit organisations.

Latymer Upper School is a school like no other. A vibrant co-educational day school which achieves extremely high standards, Latymer aims to develop young people with the necessary dispositions and skills to be a lifelong learner, a global citizen and successful in adult life. Through the fundraising, alumni and community engagement activities driven by the Latymer Foundation Office, the Upper School is able to provide significant financial support for talented students to access a world-class education, thus being a true engine for social mobility. 

The Latymer Foundation’s Inspiring Minds campaign launched in 2017 with the aim of funding bursaries for as many as one in four Upper School pupils. The campaign successfully raised £50 million, enabling Latymer Upper to more than double its bursary provision and its endowment. The Foundation’s 400th anniversary in 2024 gave rise to a further opportunity to engage the Latymer community, paving the path for significant future philanthropy.

Reporting to the Head of Latymer Upper, and leading a team of 12, the new Director of Development will be a first-class relationship builder and manager, motivated by the School’s ethos for excellence and inclusivity. As an outstanding leader with a proven track record of developing and implementing philanthropic income generation strategies, confidence in your own ability to operate at this strategic level will be underpinned by your demonstrable experience of negotiating and securing high-level relationships for the organisations you’ve represented. 

Key to your success in this role is your inspirational, inclusive and collaborative leadership approach, your experience of motivating high-performing teams, and your innovative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results. Your credibility, pragmatism and ability to show good judgement, will inspire those around you and enable you to take the team and Foundation’s activity to the next level.  If you believe you have the skills, aptitude and commitment to lead the Latymer Foundation’s team with drive and ambition, and are committed to the School’s values and aims, we would love to hear from you.

For a confidential conversation about this exceptional opportunity, please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates. For further information, key dates, and how to apply, please visit their website and download an Information for Candidates pack.
