At SSE, finance isn't a back-office function — it's central to everything we do. Every pound we manage connects directly to our mission: supporting social entrepreneurs to change their communities for the better.
Our finance team is small, close-knit, and genuinely hands-on. We manage income from a wide range of funders — from major institutions through to smaller, place based partners — alongside distributing millions of pounds in grants directly to the social entrepreneurs we exist to serve.
The work is varied, meaningful, and never dull. Because we manage everything in-house, you genuinely own your work end to end — from coding invoices and uploading forecasts into Business Central, to presenting financial insight to our Senior Management Team and steering us through external audit.
We're a team that performs well but we never stand still and welcome people spotting a better way of doing something. If you want to embed smarter technology, automate a clunky process, we always welcome fresh thinking
To equip people with skills, funding, and networks to realise their potential, improve lives and protect the planet.

ABOUT TRAIN
TRAIN is a youth work charity based in South Oxfordshire. We support young people aged 10 to 18 in Didcot, Wallingford and the surrounding areas, especially those who are under-served.
Young people in our communities are facing complex challenges. Some are struggling with poor mental health, family instability or difficulties at school. Others simply need trusted adults outside positions of authority and somewhere they feel they belong. Through open-access youth clubs, detached and outreach youth work, mentoring and targeted support, we build trusted relationships that help young people grow in confidence, make positive choices and feel hopeful about their future.
Our work is built on trust, consistency and respect, and we're looking for someone who shares that ethos.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a fixed-term cover role leading TRAIN's youth work team while our Youth Work Manager is on planned medical leave.
You'll be leading an experienced team of seven youth workers delivering a busy programme across Didcot and Wallingford. Four members of the team are permanent staff and three are sessional workers. Your role is to support them well through regular supervision, practical leadership and day-to-day decision making, while ensuring our youth work continues to run smoothly.
This isn't simply a caretaker role. Although maintaining high-quality delivery is the priority, we're keen to hear from people who enjoy improving services and spotting opportunities to strengthen what already exists.
You'll oversee our full range of provision, including open access youth work, detached and outreach work, one-to-one mentoring and group programmes. You'll also play a lead role in safeguarding, work closely with local schools and partner organisations, contribute to organisational planning and occasionally deliver youth work sessions yourself.
We're open to applicants from a range of professional backgrounds. You don't necessarily need to have worked in a youth work organisation before, but you do need experience of managing people, working with young people facing disadvantage, and understanding the importance of relationship-based practice.
This role reports directly to the CEO and forms part of TRAIN's senior team.
SALARY AND BENEFITS
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
ABOUT YOU
We're looking for someone who can confidently lead people while keeping young people at the centre of every decision.
You'll bring:
A recognised youth work qualification, experience as a Designated Safeguarding Lead, first aid training and experience of health and safety management would all be advantageous, but aren't essential.
Because this is a temporary cover role, we'll prioritise candidates who can start during August or early September 2026.
WHY JOIN TRAIN?
We're a growing charity with an experienced and committed team. You'll inherit well-established programmes and skilled colleagues, while still having the opportunity to shape how we work during your time with us.
If you're looking for a role where you can quickly make a difference to both a team and the young people they support, we'd love to hear from you.

For the right person, this is an opportunity with real strategic scope. We want to build on our strong policy positions and evidence base and translate them into more proactive campaigning and influencing, moving from good policy thinking to concerted public affairs activity, strategic stakeholder engagement, and campaigns that achieve real change.

Raising awareness of cardiomyopathy, its signs, symptoms and genetic risk, is also within the team's scope.
