The Bridge Project has been supporting people across Bradford since 1983. We work with individuals, families and communities to create lasting, positive change, recognising that people’s needs are often complex. Our dedicated team of around 120 staff, helps address a wide range of challenges, including housing instability, health and wellbeing, employment barriers and more.
We are looking for a forward-thinking Finance Manager to play a pivotal role across the organisation, with a particular focus on our supported housing projects. This is an exciting new position that not only takes on key responsibilities from our Director of Finance, but also additional work linked to our housing projects as we grow.

This makes the role ideally suited to someone with a broad range of accounting and financial experience and skills, ideally with either a social housing or charity background.
We are looking for someone who is a part-qualified or a fully qualified accountant, with knowledge of UK accounting regulations. Strong financial reporting and analytical skills along with an understanding of payroll processes and systems is essential.
This is a full-time permanent position, with the potential for hybrid working. A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post.

- Competitive salary that reflects your skills and contribution
- 32 days of annual leave to rest, recharge, and enjoy life outside work

The role
The Engagement Manager leads the relational and safeguarding delivery of Lighthouse, ensuring the programme is experienced as a place of dignity, trust, and consistency for every participant. This role sits at the centre of the work - shaping how Lighthouse feels, how people are received, and how support is experienced in practice.
Lighthouse operates in a dynamic environment where participant needs, operational demands, and volunteer teams intersect daily. You will bring presence, judgement, and emotional intelligence to that space, maintaining strong relational consistency while responding thoughtfully and appropriately to what emerges in real time.
You will take ownership of participant engagement across the programme. This includes building trusted relationships, maintaining strong safeguarding practice, and supporting volunteers to engage in ways that are respectful, boundaried, and trauma-informed. Your role is to ensure Lighthouse is not only well run, but deeply human - a place where people feel seen, respected, and supported.
You will also play a central role in shaping how Lighthouse supports people beyond immediate engagement. By understanding participant journeys and needs, you will help strengthen pathways into stability, connection, and opportunity. This requires sound judgement, relational skill, and the ability to translate insight into practical support.
You will work closely with the Programme Manager to ensure Lighthouse remains both operationally strong and deeply responsive to the people it serves.
Key responsibilities
Participant engagement and presence
- Lead participant engagement across Lighthouse delivery
- Build consistent, trusted relationships with participants
- Maintain a visible, calm, and grounded presence during programme sessions
- Help ensure participants feel recognised, welcomed, and respected
Participant wellbeing and support
- Recognise emerging participant needs and respond appropriately
- Support participants to access information, services, and appropriate support
- Help maintain a safe, respectful, and inclusive programme environment
- Ensure participant experience remains consistent and well held
Safeguarding leadership
- Lead safeguarding practice across the programme
- Coordinate safeguarding processes, documentation, and follow-up
- Respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns and incidents
- Ensure safeguarding procedures and escalation pathways are consistently followed
- Exercise sound judgement in complex or sensitive situations
Volunteer support and guidance
- Support volunteers to engage confidently and appropriately with participants
- Provide guidance on boundaries, relational approaches, and safeguarding awareness
- Help create a volunteer culture that is consistent, compassionate, and well supported
- Ensure volunteers feel clear, confident, and supported in their roles
Partnerships, referrals, and pathways
- Build and maintain relationships with outreach teams, support services, and sector partners
- Coordinate referrals and connections to external services where appropriate
- Develop pathways into employment, training, and longer-term stability
- Liaise with employers and partner organisations connected to participant opportunities
- Strengthen the network of support available to participants beyond Lighthouse
Requirements
About you
This role requires someone who is grounded, perceptive, and confident taking responsibility within a complex, people-centred environment.
You will be able to build trust quickly while maintaining clear boundaries and professional consistency. You will bring a calm, thoughtful presence and be comfortable navigating emotionally complex situations with care and sound judgement.
You will likely bring:
- significant experience working alongside vulnerable or marginalised communities
- strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills
- knowledge of safeguarding practice and working with vulnerable adults
- confidence navigating complex or emotionally demanding situations
- the ability to remain calm, consistent, and thoughtful under pressure
- a deep commitment to dignity, respect, and trauma-informed practice
Working pattern
Lighthouse operates primarily between 8:00am and 8:00pm, with occasional evening events. Programme delivery is supported by a team of volunteers.
The two Managers coordinate their working schedules to ensure presence during key delivery periods across the programme week.
Working patterns are flexible and planned collaboratively to support delivery while maintaining sustainable workloads.
Lighthouse Management Structure
Lighthouse is delivered through a shared model, with two Managers working together to ensure the programme remains a safe, consistent, and dignified space for people experiencing homelessness.
Delivering this well requires both strong programme organisation and careful, trauma-informed engagement with participants.
The two Managers hold complementary responsibilities that ensure Lighthouse is both well-run and deeply responsive to the people it serves. While each role leads on specific areas of the programme, they work closely together to maintain consistent standards, clear communication, and a reliable experience for participants.
Joint responsibilities
Together the Managers ensure that Lighthouse operates with consistency, safety and care:
- Participants experience Lighthouse as a safe and welcoming space where they are treated with dignity and respect
- Delivery remains trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in Under One Sky’s values of presence, trust, and follow-through
- Lighthouse sessions are appropriately staffed, with volunteers and team members supported to deliver confidently and reliably
- Safeguarding is embedded into day-to-day delivery, with clear processes for responding to disclosures, incidents, risk, and vulnerability
- Participant needs, concerns, and wellbeing are recognised early and responded to appropriately
- Volunteers and staff are supported to hold clear boundaries while maintaining compassion and respect
- Communication and follow-through are strong so participants do not experience gaps, confusion, or inconsistent responses
- Lighthouse maintains a high standard of care, professionalism, and stability across the programme week
Culture and approach
The Managers help shape the tone of Lighthouse through calm, grounded leadership and consistent presence within the programme.
They help ensure the Lighthouse remains a place where participants feel:
- seen and respected
- safe and protected
- met with consistency rather than unpredictability
- supported without judgement
- able to access help with dignity
They create the conditions for volunteers and staff to provide meaningful support while ensuring Lighthouse remains structured, accountable, and deeply human.
Together let’s end homelessness.
