A meaningful opportunity supporting the financial strength and sustainability of Jamie’s Farm. At a time of continued growth and development for our charity, we are looking for an experienced and hands-on finance professional to lead many of our core accountancy functions and provide high-quality financial information to support confident decision-making across the organisation. You will ensure we have the financial systems, insight and stewardship needed to deliver and grow our impact for young people.
What is Jamie’s Farm? Jamie’s Farm supports young people by combining therapeutic work, farming, and purposeful activities to help them thrive. Through residential visits to our working farms, we provide a nurturing environment where they can reflect, build confidence, and develop the resilience they need to overcome personal challenges. As part of the dynamic HQ team, we offer a beautiful and unique supportive working environment, a competitive salary, and the opportunity to be part of a team that is passionate about making a real difference.
More about the role: As Senior Finance Manager, you will take responsibility for a broad range of key finance activities, from day-to-day financial operations and reporting through statutory compliance and cashflow management. Working closely with our small finance team and colleagues across the charity, you will provide the accurate, timely financial information needed to support effective planning, reporting and decision-making. This is a practical, hands-on role with real variety, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a growing charity.
About you: We are looking for someone with significant hands-on accounting experience in a similar role, ideally within an equivalently sized or larger organisation. You will have experience of producing management accounts, cashflow forecasts and management information, as well as contributing to statutory accounts and audit preparation. You will be fully or nearly qualified through an accredited accountancy body.

We’re looking for a compassionate Learning & Skills Coordinator to join our grassroots charity in Greenwich, South East London where you can play a vital role in helping people experiencing homelessness develop confidence, gain new skills, and access opportunities through education, training and employment.

This is a new role at High Trees, created because we believe Lambeth’s voluntary and community sector (VCS) is one of the borough’s greatest assets – strong, skilled and rooted in the communities it serves. Place-based organisations like ours play a vital role in supporting individuals, strengthening communities, growing local economies and shaping the policy decisions that affect the people we work with. We want a dedicated Manager who can help make that case, loudly and effectively, both within High Trees and across the wider system.
A key part of this role is our contract to deliver capacity building support to Lambeth’s VCS, commissioned by the local authority and delivered through the Lambeth Hubs Partnership – but this is one strand of a much bigger picture. We want this role to think beyond any single contract, taking a long-term view of what Lambeth’s VCS infrastructure support needs to look like, and leading the development of new approaches, including peer support models and a more circular economy across the sector.
Health and wellbeing is increasingly shaping where funding and investment in our sector flows, and we want Lambeth’s VCS to be ready and well-positioned to respond to this shift. You will play a leading role in this, working with partners including the SEL VCS Alliance to develop shared practice across South East London boroughs, and ensuring our sector’s voice is heard as these opportunities develop.
This role is as much strategic as it is operational – we’re never too far from the ground at High Trees, and you’ll be expected to lead on much of the day-to-day delivery yourself. That means designing and delivering workshops and one-to-one capacity building support, developing resources and toolkits, and running networking events that bring Lambeth’s VCS together. You’ll also build a network of trusted delivery partners – freelancers and facilitators, ideally drawn from within our own sector – helping to keep skills, income and opportunity circulating within Lambeth’s VCS.
As VCS Capacity Building Manager, you will lead High Trees’ work to strengthen Lambeth’s voluntary and community sector, acting as an advocate for High Trees and a champion for the wider sector, while managing funded contracts and programmes that support local organisations to grow their skills, systems and impact.
The role combines strategic leadership – shaping High Trees’ contribution to the future of VCS infrastructure support, and representing the sector within key partnerships – with hands-on operational delivery, including direct capacity building support, training and events. You will be confident managing multiple work streams, and equally comfortable working strategically and on the ground.
